Nothing to kill...it's a rendering...it's not official. But, whoever rendered it needs to be spanked.

However...at least the back looks like a wagon.

The current TL sedan's "ass" looks like a female dog when she squats to take a piss.

Maybe, juuuuust maybe it would look nice if they sloped the hatch alittle more (have the d pillar follow the window line.

But the front still kills the look.

PLEASE make this, Acura. I've always wanted to know what it feels like to shit my pants laughing and throw up at the same time.

Gawd! My eyes hurt.

Sadly, this is not too far off from what could appear out of the Acura design studio.

All they had to do was make the rear follow the window line better so it won't look like a hearse. I suck at Photoshop, here's my bad attempt to fix it:

I'm sorry, but it still looks like a hearse, no amount of photoshopping is going to change that!

Yea and hopefully they do it soon. A FMC for the 2013 model year would be welcomed.

The 5G will likely come for the 2014 assuming Acura keeps to five year cycles with their TLs and Accords.

Technically the TL has a 4 year shelf life. (99-03; 04-08, 09-please kill it now).

It wouldnt surprise me if they do keep it for 5 years though.

EDIT - Wait, are you talking about the model year or calender year?

I'm speaking in terms of 2G coming for 99, 3G for 04, and 4G for 09.

Wrong or right that's five years to me. LOL

Each one of those periods comprises five model years, e.g. 99, 00, 01, 02, 03, so a new TL should not be expected until the 2014 model year, which is a little over three years from now. We're stuck with this one for a long three years.

Just hope that the upcoming MMC update for the current TL would give us a break from all these craps.

It looks like on the close up shot, that it MIGHT be a combo of a smaller shield grill, like on the TSX combined with the A-spec option right now by Ron Jon!

it's too late to fix it. even if they toned down the power plenum grille, it'll still sit higher than the headlights, which is one of the fundamental problems to begin with. overhang is just too long, doesn't look like that's getting fixed.
