Acura is lucky that the MDX and RDX have been selling so well. The new designed TL has been disappointing compared to the 3G. The RL has been a disaster. The TSX just a competent seller.
The beak needs to be significantly modified. I hope they get rid of it all together for the next generation. It's been "controversial" at best.

To that end, the wife sort of gave me the green light to consider a TSX 6MT to purchase as a more fuel efficient backup to our 09 MDX. It's not as sharp as the IS, E90 or G sedan but, it's not repulsive either. More towards the topic, if only Acura had styled the TL more like the TSX most of us might not be feeling this justifiable angst when it comes to the 4G TL's styling.

I've driven the TSX and it's a damn nice car and to that end, no where near as repulsive as the TL. And as I've said before, the TL is probably the best car Acura has produced but is unfortunately let down by it's atrocious looks. So many people will never even enter the showroom to figure out how great a car it is simply because they get so turned off by its looks.
