I must be one of the rare few who actually now prefer the Acura grill than that of the Honda Accord (Euro). Either its time to go see my eye doctor for an exam or Acura folks knew that this would happen...people would learn to love it....(and the flaming begins)

I think both grills look great, but I must say that I also prefer the Acura grill for the
Acura, so you are not alone, 09TSX.

Agreed. IMHO, Acura grill looks way better than Euro Accord.

I don't like following the crowd. The new grill design is a bit shocking and very different than most front grills. I like it on the TSX for that reason. I don't like it on the new RL for other reasons; I think it's too big and out of proportion

The Euro grill is far too busy, IMPO. If you could put a 1GEN or 2GEN Acura badge on the Euro sport grill ... .

That one is MUCH better. The one I posted was from a UKDM Accord, I'm guessing the one you are posting is from a JDM Accord? I like the looks of the new TSX, just that one part of the grill looks a lil out of place (too big) IMO

Put me down for those who prefer the new Acura grill over the downmarket-looking and less stylish Euro Accord ones. If I wanted a Honda grill I would have bought a Honda (and saved a lot of dough in the process). I think most of the haters haven't seen the car in person. Everyone who has seen mine in person thinks it's gorgeous.

I saw the new TSX actually being driven on the road for the first time yesterday.

I had seen it in the dealership before.


Uh the grill still looks horrible by the way. I am pretty sure it wont grow on me. Its a god damn monstrosity.

That UKDM grill is nice, mabye we can find an acura badge that will snap onto that center part.

bottom line, at least there looks to be options for those of us who do like and complain about the new grill and prefer to replace it. I personally like the new grill over the Euro Accords but to each his own.

Why is it these threads de-evolve into "the element is fooking oogly" and "they're just haters and won't admit their car is boring." Pax vobiscum, kiddies, both cars look nice and offer great value. Live with it.

Nah... I love the current "Power Plenum" look on my black 2009 TSX.

Is it polarizing? Sure it is and it was intentional. I remember when Audi intro'd their "Shield Grille" a few years back. People either really hated it or loved it, but it was noticed as an Audi even from a distance.

I do like the Acura Grille on the 2009 TSX but on the 09 TL I don't. I think it's just to big on the TL.
