Looks alright...I still don't really like it. 
It is good to see the inside though..

I was expecting something a little more radical, but I definitely like the dash. The seats don't look very confortable though.
I sat in an S2000 today, damn it's tiny! A friend of mine that's 6'6" was with me, you should have seen him in that car, it was hilarious!!!

Not bad. Quite the logical and worthy successor to the 3rd gen Integra. With this and the Impreza WRX, the kids seem to have it pretty good nowadays.
Assuming that this is the final production version (which it does look like), it seems that Acura has decided on calling it the "RSX", to go alongside the MDX and NSX. Could the upcoming RL/Legend replacement be called the "RLX"?

However, what about the CL-s? Why not call it the CLX. Or will that be for 2002->
NSX
RSX
MDX
RLX
CLX
Acura's future line of automobiles!

Assuming that there is a consistent nomenclature scheme (which is too much to assume), the Acura "X" suffix seems to be used to endow a model with more "edginess" by implying less "toning-down" from show proto to production. If that scheme is the case and Acura continues to market the CL to empty-nest Boomers, we'll probably never see a production "CLX".
But why might there be a "RLX"? If Acura decides to tackle the LS430/Q45/S430/740 field by way of sportiness and progessiveness (much in the way of the new Q45), an "RLX" designation may help.

don't really like the amber in the tail lights. but i have a feeling acura will probably get rid of it in a year or two. like the current integra's , accords, and last model civic's.

Nice dash................good shots. Do you think this Civic like car will help or hurt Acura's image?? Don't think you'll find an "Echo" at a Lexus dealer.............and I am not a Lexus fan, just looking at targeting. Seems like Acura wants to be your family's auto supplier--something for the kiddies, and mommies and daddies too. Hate to see them become Japan's General Motors.

Actually, there was an Acura TLX, which was basically a slightly-more-rakish show proto for the current 2nd-gen TL. I don't recall whether there was ever a CLX, since the first time I laid eyes on the 2nd-gen CL platform (at the 2K LA Auto Show), it was already production-ready.
