You know what annoys me more on the TSX than the grille? The damn electric steering with NO feel and horrible on center feel. 
Good job Acura, you ruined an otherwise great car with those two minor things.

Custom Grill concept
How about something close to the mesh grill on the Cadillac STS-V. Of course with a Acura logo in front. Not sure if metal mesh would get in the way of the CMBS radar. Isn't it usually behind the logo in the first place on the 2008 RL? If so, then we don't need plastic grills.

The flush mesh grill is European inspired and aerodynamic.

i saw the new tsx on the road on saturday in white.... not bad... the grill didn't ruin the front end... but it made it less... appealing...
i think that the view of people who won't mod the car will like the overall look, but people like us... well... will hate it
loose the grill and you'll have a decent looking car.... i think the tsx still has a lot of potential, most likely the aftermarket parts will replace the grill, so no worries people
look at it this way, after you mod it your tsx/tl/rl will look that much better than all the stock ones

i saw a picture of the new 2009 TL in an automobile magazine at the airport in ft. lauderdale on friday. I forget what mag it was but the feature story (which included the 2009 TL) was something like "the hottest 29 cars for 2009 and beyond"
i am sad to report that the TL DOES infact have the that chrome bar like the TXS but its even bigger and worse than the TSX one...

i am positive this was not a car and driver magazine, i would have remembered that as i am a subscriber, this was something else. motorweek or something similar, i wish i could remember it , but it definately wasnt the new car and driver mag

i've always believed that the grille would look much better if it was painted over.

I could have sworn I saw a link somewhere on AZ with a pic of the new TL... It looked almost the same except with a longer more cowcatcher looking front end.

A generally loveable guy
what the fuck
Why is everybody bitching about the front... it looks perfectly fine to me... if you dont like that shit then mod it when you get it... IF you have the money, which, for most of you, i doubt

looks okay to me. Not my style but its not horrible or blastphemy as you guys are trying to make it out to be. Just calm the fuck down already. If you want inspired driving, drive a bmw 
. As I recall, the bigger honda's were never really that much fun to drive. Its always been the smaller stuff that got me going.

+1. That bumper looks really weird, or it could be the lens used. Anyone with a normal angle of that front?
