I think people are making shit up at this point.. we'd have pics posted somewhere here of the TL if they were out there...

We've only seen the MMC RL and the newly "redesigned" 2009 TSX... no sighting of the 09 TL yet...

I guess Acura is intentionally holding out the TL pics from us ... want to make a grand entrance so to speak at their launch party or somewhere in one of the auto shows ...

still waiting but I'm not that upset about it since I happen to like my 3G TL ...

The new Honda/Acura line are extremely hideous. I wouldn't buy neither.

It looks like a refresh to me

But I guess the same could be said for the "redesigned" G37... Atleast with the G, there was an HP increase

All marketing...new G isn't any faster than the previous one, not with all the extra weight. Add the sport version with those heavy 14" rotors and you're looking at a low 14 second car...same as the 1st gen. It is a lot more refined than the last one though, which is always a good thing...

Prediction: In about a years time no one will be bitching about the grilles. Well except maybe on the RL cause the whole package is ugly.

Like someone mentioned on the first page. We bitched about Audi grille and bangle when they first came out and now? People take time to adapt to change. Happens in everything we do.

Touch, touchy... sheesh! I admit I replied to CLPower's quote in a hurry and thought he had said "TSX and RL" instead of "TSX and TL". The point is, Acura is 0 for 2 on those 2 new/refreshed grilles. As for the TL, I'm hoping for the best but obviously expecting the worst, based on their statements that the "power plenum" monstrosity is the new corporate grille. Also, I guess you missed the joke:
<-------- "I hadn't noticed."

Yea the RL and The TSX is just blah with that buck tooth grill. But I really like the shield grill on the MDX though. I guess it's a hate it or love it kind of thing. I know we are expecting that the new TL will have that grill as well, but I'm hoping the rest of the car will make up for it.

Yeah, I actually don't mind the MDX shield grille at all. I just don't like it when they leave out the bottom half of the shield, making it look like a buck-toothed smile/jack-o-lantern/parrot beak. Someone photoshopped the MDX grille on the '09 RL and it looked much better. I just hope they've gotten some of this feedback in time to save the TL.

They made the grille ugly cuz they know ppl will eventually change them, thus giving the aftermarket more business!
