Fizzboy is correct. The parrot-beaks up front will have to be the first things to go. Actually, that has been the case for several years now, but stubborn Acura management just hasn't listened. Nevertheless, something is wrong when brand-new vehicles have to have their beaks repainted body-color (to lessen their visual effect) before buyers will even accept delivery of them.

So did the 1st Gen TL and the Vigor. Acura has larger problems though I don't mind a transmount engine configuration as long as the end result is good.
