Looks like we're not alone in hating the new grille...

...but it still looks bad.
I was looking at my moms RDX yesterday, and I guess it was just in the right light, but I really like the way it looks.
They should actually listen to the consumers that LOVE the brand, like the hundreds of thousands on this forum.

The "power plenum" grille is ridiculous. It only looks organic on the TSX and looks completely out of place on the RL, MDX, and TL. Acura has lost its way thanks to stupid design decisions championed by Dick Colliver and Chris Bangle-wannabe Dave Marek. Colliver is gone from Honda and hopefully Marek soon will be. These folks worried more about something superficial and stupid like a "corporate nose" than in positioning Acura's wonderful SH-AWD technology in the marketplace. Acura needs a complete design makeover. It's in danger of losing its most ardent fans if the current design trend continues. Check the forums over at Acurazine.com to see the negative reaction from the enthusiasts. Dan

It looks much better on the SUV's
If the line above the headlights matched the top of the grill, it would be a million times better (like the TSX)
But noooo, instead it has to look tacked on at the last minute

It's not all new 3's I think it's only the sports models that have the big ass grin.
Hey, it's better than the old Subaru "hole" that they finally decided to get rid of!
Someone on AudiWorld posted a link to a MT comparison between the A4 and the TL. Naturally, the styling became the main topic.

I hope Acura stops this trend. It may be a better deal than the competition, but that will only go so far.
