I don’t know man I thought Honda has always been setting themselves apart from the competition…who else is putting 280+hp to the front wheels in this segment..?
Just kidding man

Yet another area where Honda fails to set themselves apart from the competition.

Then again a G35x 'only' weighs 3,700lbs. We can bet the TL-SH will be in and around 4k or more.

I've seen you use "flare better" in a couple of threads.....is there something funny I am missing?

That's probably why they chose silver as the press car. But then again Honda has always chosen silver.

Interior
I like the interior. Acura always has great ones IMHO. I know plenty will complain about the buttons but I do not mind them as long as they serve a purpose. I have touch nav now & I still usually the buttons bc it is just quiker & easier ... do not have to go thru menus to do anything.

i wonder what those extra buttons are for on the steering wheel, the bottom right buttons.
i figure the top right and left and bottom left are the same as teh 3G.

the interior is amazing! the textured aluminum looks stunning
however the ext is still weird to me
maybe if ronjon made some aftermarket mdx front grills it would make it look better

Too bad, Acura could have done so much better. The interior is nice but the exterior seems like a big step back from the current car. The wheels look nice though....
