I almost puked looking at hte first pic, then I fell asleep seeing the 2nd huge pic. Re-size mahn!
I no longer will crap on Acura. They are an afterthought and its beating a dead VERY ugly horse over and over.

Acura is now "luxurystyle" so I gave it a loophole. People should be thanking me

Acura is punishing us with that ugly grill, the strange part is that Acura sales are still going strong.

Yes, Acura has good strong mid-level auto business, even if it's not tier 1 car maker.

Compared to other competition and automakers, not that strong actually. TL sales seem to be on a downward trend right now, as are MDX sales. These are the main models for Acura, and they are not doing so well.

RX and ES sales, the main models for Lexus are solid at the moment, with RX sales currently very strong and IS sales seem to be going on an upward trend compared to the past few months, with the IS-C.

The new HS seems to be getting a lot of orders as well in Japan and North America.

I agress, but Acura seem to think other wise and continue to expand that ugly grill into their whole up. This is a prefect case of a big corperation ignoring public opinion.

Well fine, if they wanna continue to put a blind ear on their only customers, then they're fine to do so. Fine, then they pay for their ignorance & stupidity.

Acura continues to speed down the track like a race horse with blinders on, the only problem is that they are heading toward a cliff.
