The sizzle in the Steak
Interior is nice...but no Audi.
Don't care for all that silver/alum. look plastic.
At least Acura got smart and put less buttons than the MDX.
Too bad it appears you still need to put the "key" in the ignition first and then hit the engine start button.

Interior looks cheap to me... The 3G TL and 1G TSX have much more mature, classy, upscale interiors compared to this...
Are they not equipping it with XM? Or is there just no longera need for the antenna?
The rims are WAY too small, but it was to be assumed... We are talking about Honda/Acura here...
In my opinion, it loos like the same shape as an ES350...
It's gonna take a long time for this one to grow on me...

yeah this white one is for the Chinese market, the instructions around the navigation knob are in Chinese.
The interior is bit disappointing. Still no real aluminum, no real wood, so not enough luxury.
At least it's a 3 spoke steering wheel.

Any real car enthusiast knows that the 3-spoke steering wheel is the ONLY wheel.
Everything else FTL

that interior looks pretty damn good, actually. would prefer not to have the big soda-can knob ala accord.
i dont know guys, the car has some potential. def. holding my judgment until i see it in person.

Perhaps this is a bare-bone base model, with real wood trims and big rims as options. Real wood trims will always richen up a car's interior.

And honestly I can't imagine all that faux metal being replaced by wood, cause then it'd be overboard with the wood. It's already overboard with the faux metal as it is.

We all know that they are based on the same platform, but there is WWWAAAAYYY too much Accord in that interior. It doesn't even look they tried to differentiate it. I am a little disappointed. Maybe this is just for the China market as someone else has said?

the honda accord interior isn't that bad, you guys whine too much.
that engine start button looks so cheap and ugly compared to the nissan /infiniti start buttons.
the rear trunk is the reincarnation of the 1997-2000 Acura CL and those are ugly exhaust tips.

The pushbutton starters are the same though, I think....
The Lexus system is nice.... but on Nissans/Infinitis you can also lock it by pressing the button on the outside door handle, same as on the Lexus. It is nice not needing to unlock the car though, just walk up to it and open it up.

And its a shame that the exterior of the new FX looks like utter crap.

that's why I kept my comment about the FX strictly about its interior.
