Go Big Blue!
I agree. For that reason and the possibility that they simply don't agree with yuo or me. There are lots of examples of oversized grills that don't conform to the natural lines of the front end. I don't particularly like that type of design but I'm not the last word on things, so my wife keeps reminding me.

6 Speed Auto, ventilated seats, re-do on the beak, 60GB HD and blind spot detection. Not sure that's enough to entice me to update.
Would've prefered a greater level of differentiation with the base model and the pre-mmr cars.
This is kind of nice:

I'm honestly surprised they changed some of the things they did. All good changes. Many will say not enough, but there are always going to be people that say that no matter what car and what changes. All in all, its a good move in the right direction.
Having said that, let the whining begin. I mean continue....

& At least it's an encouraging sign for when they do the next FMC.

Not terrible...Still find the look a touch obtuse. But, maybe it'll grow on me.

The sizzle in the Steak
They vanilla(d) the design a bit. Which is "better" I guess.
She's still an ugly duckling.
The rear is still horrible. The toned down beak is better, but the beak was never the only problem with this design.
Is it me or do the lower left and right front light/vents look gigantic and out of proportion??!?!
I don't think Honda is going to see a sales increase due to this redesign. IMHO.

Midnight Marauder
Its an improvement, but not to nitpick, why is the new piece in between the hood and the grille appear to be a different color from the hood itself?

Three Wheelin'
Hey I wasn't that far off I like it a lot. This is exactly what I was hoping for in the MMC. Sure it's vanilla-ed up a bit, but that's what was needed in the conservative near-lux/lux segment.
Kudos to Acura for listening.

For some reason, I think we'll see an insert between the grill and current hood. Hopefully, vybzkartel is right and they'll make the insert one long piece and it's what I've been thinking for a while now. The worst case would be three pieces to fill the space and I shudder to think how that would look. (though it's probably still better than the current design)
I think the grill will be much like the TSX grill with a chrome surround and an inset shield. Obviously, the lower area of the grill with have horizontal 'slats' like the TSX. I think that we'll also see some bumper plastic between the edges of the grill and the headlights.

Nah, it's as good as I was expecting.
