Ugliest Acura: 4G TL, front is ugly, rear is starting to grow on me

Ugliest Honda: 1st gen Honda Prelude and 1st gen Honda Insight

Legend2TL

Yeah that's their F1 car from 1964. Curious if someone would catch that. Transverse, 12 cylinder 1.5L

Ugliest Acura: 4G TL (liking it less each time I see one along with all other PP grilled Acuras)

Ugliest Honda: Ridgeline

This tough, I can't really think of an Acura that's ugly...mind you, someone mentioned my model is the ugliest...if I had to choose, it would be the 4g TL.

As far as Honda, the Insight.

Dicorp

the 4g TL is hideous. What a fail.

On the honda side....the insight, the element and the 5th Prelude are all IMO.

It's too bad the 6MTs are so hard to find, I would LOVE to have one in my driveway.

Honda should hire *those* designers back.

Legends never die, they just get rebadged

Time to rebadge my rebadged Legend.

tmnhs81

Yes they should. Legend coupe and NSX from early '90's are such timeless designs. Every time I see a Legend coupe I almost snap my neck looking at it.

CocheseUGA

You and me both. Got to drive a highly modded one one day and it about snapped my neck just driving it.

Same here.

I would like a Type II 6mt coupe black on black please.

mrmako

I see a lot of those Honda Legend coupes here. Very cheap too.

Aman

Not many Legends here, and most of the ones that are are white with holes rusting through. The amazing thing is that they still manage to look good.

The ones that were better taken care of were absolutely stunning.

Wasn't there one around here with 300k, and it was on display at the dealership.

Another vote for the 4th gen TL. I thought it was just my old age related aesthetic conservatism kicking in, but no, others hate it too.

As to the prettiest Honda/Acura designs- I was mesmerized by the last gen. CRX. I had a 1992 model as my first new car. Just like this one:



Then I had another classic- 1993 Integra for a few years, when my CRX was totaled and I wasn't in position to get a brand new car. Both definitely great looking cars for their period. Those CRX's in well-kept condition still turn heads today- almost 20 years later.

TS_eXpeed

New TL.
Honda Insight.
I really hated some of the Accord sedans of ~5 years ago.

TommySalami

Ugh. Sorry guys but I hate the rear of the CRX. It just looks so awkward and stubby

TS_eXpeed

^^^
That also reminds me.
I HATED the older CRV's. They looked like a box.

New ones look 100 times better, IMO.

I LOVE the CRX. Especially in Tahitian Green. Its what started my love for the forth gen Civics.

DeMAN

4th gen TL. I hope we dont have to wait 4 more years for a redesign.

OLD_HATCH

So far I have to agree the 4th gen TL has got to be the uglyest exterior. Inside its very nice though.

I think these two deserve an honorable mention though.

The 2nd gen accord. the mid model refresh made it look alot better though.








The first gen MDX too. It reminds me of those boat cars from the 60's.

blakura

I'm going with the Civic Wagon/Minivan thingamajiga, and the 4G TL (FWD) the rims look too small and the tires have too much sidewall.

blakura

How could I forget the 1G Insight!

neuronbob

That's the CRX I would have in my imaginary Jay Leno-style car museum. LOVE IT. And Honda stopped making them, why?

Paclark01

I had a 1989 Black Si. That car was spectacular!!! No power steering, cornered on rails, and sipped gas.

My vote for ugliest Honda/Acura product is the 2nd Gen Accord.

TS_eXpeed

Cause they were



I'll go buy one of these and then me and you can switch cars.

TommySalami

I remember seeing on TV years ago the story of some guy who killed his wife because she got rid of his CRX, or something like that.

I dont blame him

pokin

The OLD and the NEW. You know... when Honda put their mind to it, they could really do ugly

mystikk

+1 for new TL. The whole fucking car has downs.

PortlandRL

The 4G TL looks like a retarded walrus although the old CRX is pretty bad.

I used to work with a guy who claimed he managed to have sex in a CRX. Not quite sure how. That must have been one hell of a contortionist act.

invisiblewar

i wont lie, the mmc RL isnt as bad as i once thought. well at least in pictures it looks better, the front end is still

TommySalami

I've seen the new RL in person, and it's really not that bad. The back looks excellent I think, and the front isn't nearly as bad as the TL

Aman

I think some of Acura's products, like the RL and CSX look really choppy with their front end. The new grille doesn't flow AT ALL

I'm kinda split on the rear of the RL but overall I like the car.

pokin

Current generation RLs do look a little better in photo. I saw one at an auto show last summer... for a $46-50k car, the rear looked 'eh' and the front looked bizarre.
