Maybe Acura has heard the masses...interesting their sales of the TL are 50% of what they were.

Aww won't be locked since it got moved! I can't see the slideshow since I'm at work but it does show a little change in the front bumper....

 

i like the 19's

 

mmmmm tuna fish!!!

 

It looks much better. However, I don't know if the damage can be undone to the public perception. It's too bad it took Acura this long to realize. Who ever green lighted the grille should be fired. The 3G was a monster when it came to sales. Only the 3-series would beat it in sales. This was despite the fact that it was a FWD and didn't have as much power as some of its rivals. The 4G addressed all that and is a better car than the 3G in every way except the polarizing style.

 

True...but do you walk or take your lunch to school?

 

I agree with your comments about the 4G being a better car other than the front grill. Help me out here. I don't see the difference in the 2012 grill. It looks like the same buck tooth design except the air vent under it has horizontal lines instead of a honeycomb pattern.

 

Aren't these pics in the TL thread?

And I swear the beak looks the same, it's just blacked out on the mule. Maybe it's a tad smaller . Regardless, it won't help the rear.

 

blacked out beak looks so much better. at least on the black color tl

 

Looks better to what I can tell.

 

This car needs a complete redesign styling-wise before sales will have any chance of recovering to 3rd gen levels. As graceful and elegant as the 3g was, the 4g is bloated and awkward instead. Not a good recipe for success...

 

Still ugly I see.

 

 

We'll see what Honda/Acura does at the next autoshow hopefully it'll be something notable.

 

Just like the government, they still have not changed a thing?

 

Nothing really different looking on it at all, looks the same.

 

What's even crazier is how this thread hasnt gotten moved yet. Mods on strike? hahah

 

^ Nope... it's called vacation. It is late August after all

And just to make up for lost time I deleted each reply that said IBTL with the exception of RaviNJCLs' b/c that was clever.... so the post count of those users decrease

 

But yeah, these pics have been posted a bunch of times in several variations since June. Feel free to join the TL discussion in the Automotive News forum: https://acurazine.com/forums/showthr...396347&page=24
