im sorry but that looks like shit!!!
i guess most of you guys have been desensitized and is used to the "plain" look!
can someone post a pic of a 94-95 legend sedan!?! Please explain to me how Acura went from a bad ass looking car like the legend to a car that looks like a box????
the style is way too plain, i like the 03 body style better!!!

3 series is to 5 series as TSX is to TL
thats probably the thinking here
in order to develop a true opinion, i need engine, braking, suspension specifics, as well as info on the interior (which there hasnt been a SINGLE photo of what-so-ever, and clear shots of the outside.

Though I don't have a pic, I do agree that the Legend sedan (and coupe) were badass. I was hoping for a return of that style but I guess not.

So the big debate over at ClubTSX is whether or not the "bump" under the rear bumber is a differential or not. Anyone seen enough VTM-4 differentials to make a call on that? I have to tell you it sure looks like it to me ... which confirms rumors from a fairly good source that I have.
Thoughts?

Absolutely not a differential, I agree.

I am probably more excited if Acura doesn't go that route the more I think about it. I mean what we really need is an IMA based TL and TSX. My guess is if they engineered in VTM-4 in to the next gen TL then guess what .... that means IMA based sports sedan is further away since they would not have done the VTM-4 if IMA AWD is less than 4 years behind.I have around 33 months left on my TSX lease and I am really hoping I can say my next car is an IMA based Acura! (Ok - an RL doesn't count
)

I don't know man the Honda/Acura line-up; Civc/Accord -- RSX/TSX/TL, is all looking ALL WAY too much a like. We'll have to see what the production version looks like, & what kind of dollars.
Plus to top it all off, the tranny glitch has soured me from Honda lines for a while. Seems like it has been an on-going (keep it quiet) issue.
Time to look around, my current interest is the new RX8.
