This is going to dominate the segment once again. That's for sure.

Better Fu Manchu (Lexus) than Jimmy Durante (Acura).
The RX and GS look hot. ...and the RX will be the segment leader once more.

Once again Lexus will sell these in droves, and all other mfg. will be scratching their heads.

Um...no. I'll take the visor-wearing MDX over this anyday.

No thanks on the Cayenne.....the Evoque would be an ownership nightmare.

And I love the new Cayenne. Never was the fan of the previous gen but the updates and new interior just are tits to me. Wouldn't be in the FX at all if both cars were available back when I was shopping.

Acura center console in the MDX is not "strange" IT JUST NEEDS MORE BUTTONS!!!!

^ the vents, CD/DVD loader, and curved lower surface of the center stackup looks awful. What review committee approves that design?

I'm not feeling the center console but, it wouldn't be a deal breaker for me. The 4G RX may not be a homerun but, it definitely drove in a run or two.
In consideration of the MDX, it's probably not fair to compare a new RX with the MDX which is now six years old. I just hope Acura doesn't screw up the 3G MDX.
As far as the segment is concerned, the BMW E70 is still the benchmark at each level: xd35i, xd50i and M....bar none! Unfortunately, it's also priced beyond all those mentioned thus far.

They made it look like a tall wagon? I don't like the exterior at all. The rims I saw on autoblog looked hideous as well.
However, the interior is much better. They finally got rid of that minivan look and put the gear shift on the floor. Those middle vents look straight out of the 90's though.

Yeah I think the grill looks especially nasty on it. It works on the smaller cars like the IS, or even the bigger sporty ones like the GS, but I think it looks like ass on this and the LS. It's like they have 3 separate market segments (sport-sedan enthusiasts, rich older luxo-boat drivers and upscale soccer moms) but they're trying to force them all to go for the yougner/sportier style. Not sure how that's going to work out for them. Maybe better than the Acura beak, but possibly not by much. We shall see.

The front looks good and aggressive.
But what does it look so weird from the side?? especially the rear 1/4? It looks like an extension was added to make it longer.
While there is nothing wrong with the rear, it reminds me too much of a ES350 which i really dislike.

Looks like someone got lost on their way to the mental hospital again.

From this angle it looks good until you get to the rear door. From there it looks like they ran out of ideas/time and just pieced it together. They should have gotten rid of the hip/raise behind the rear door and the little bit of roof coming down and made it all black or make it flow better.
