agree on the grille. looks like it's gonna be a big one!

 

 

also

I think Acura is having the same issue as BMW did in the early 2000's.... their vehicles looked so good that they figured "eh, why not mix it up a little and give out cars questionable styling and call it artsy fartsy and contemporary" so they came out with "flame surfacing" and the tumor spread to other models in the lineup. They are starting to get better now though with the new Z4 and 7-series.... hopefully Acura comes around in the same way.

 

Um, the pic in post #303 is a photoshop right? No official pics beyond the original five shown at TOV are from Acura right?

 

I think that is a photoshop

 

So why is everyone reacting to a grill that nobody has actually seen?

 

We just know what to expect from Acura's track record.

 

you don't see the wind, but you know it's there.

 

 

 

Jedi, stop letting your mind play tricks on you, lol!

 

 

C'mon now, admit it, you all thought it was a real pic. Why not complain about features that you don't know it's missing?

 

^^ Put down the bong.

 

 

 

it's poetry corner now eh

 

Colin, I agree with you! So far, I love what I am seeing with this vehicle - the profile is just very dynamic and the back quarter view shows a lot of passion and emotions in its styling. I think this is a big step forward for Acura. Japanese cars usually lack these elements. I can't wait to see the unveiled vehicle!

 

the styling details here are just the same ones from the TL only in the shape of a CUV. The current Acura design language seems to work better on SUVs than they do on sedans. Out of all the new faces, I like the MDX the best.

 

 

i found this online here http://images.google.com/imgres?imgu...r8AYrKtQPxjOh3

 

 

Oh never mind there it is!!!!!!! looks like shit in my opinion

 

You should use the Acura images and photoshop us a real one

That doesn't look like a sport coupe...

 

Here's the original teaser image

 

I wonder if anyone at Acura even pays attention to our comments about the grill on Azine?

 

based on the results, you'd have to conclude; not really

 

Even if they're not paying attention to us, they've probably already heard an ear full from dealers and automags concerning the styling direction.

 

i would think that acura has heard or read comments about the grille from dealers, reviews, blogs, and forums like this. but hearing and listening are different things.

after the negative reaction to the grille when the new TSX and mid-gen RL were released, i'd have hoped they would have gone back to the drawing board with the TL. maybe it was too late at that point.

thing is, there are way too many other complaints besides the grille. maybe they're focusing on those. doubt it.

 

Acura does not care about the auto enthusiast.

 

 

Or their own Acura enthusiasts!

 

Lies...they don't exist anymore...they died back in 2005 :wink:

 

 

honda should just kill off acura and start fresh with a new luxo brand...

no but really I hate how these ugly ass cars are coming out and people aree buying them yet aesthetically pleasing cars are made and people stray away from them (see G8)

 

Acura doesn't care about the auto enthusiast because they are a minority group. They just look at what we suggest and what we want.... then they introduce said features in the MMC


There were several reports of it happening in the 3G TL.... "we want foglights!" and the whole aluminum Supercomputer pedals

 

and better looking wheels.

 

and ricer tail lights!

 

the grill of horror!!!!
