Its unfortunate what could have been had they simply stuck with the current grille... more chops from azine:

 

What a shame ... the below looks fantastic in my opinion.

 

I think this is the ispiration for the new TL.

 

I've seen a couple on the road and thought they were better looking than the pics made them seem.

 

well damn, i guess there will be a huge aftermarket grille market

 

I was thinking more of a wall mounted bottle opener.

Is the front fender bulge seriously that big?

 

Again, if a car debuts and you HAVE to add an aftermarket grill and Lexus yellow fogs and all this stuff to it to make it look borderline decent, you have failed. 99% of TL buyers will leave it stock. The front still is ungainly, the size of the front bumper is just massive.

Again, the pic Acura released is a loaded model. It will look WORSE with regular pics and the stock 17" wheels.

 

It's unfortunate. The car could look very nice with a few tweaks. It is almost as if they played a practical joke on this car. WTF is up with that hideous gillie??

 

To a smaller degree, at least from my perspective, that could be the same thing said about the original SC and LS as well. I never thought those cars were all that aesthetically great either, but looks HOT with aftermarket parts. Now, this TL is uglier, but just saying there are a lot of cars out there that are so so stock, but look great modified.

 

The original LS maybe bland but it surely is not ugly and looks fine stock, even with the small 15" wheels from 89-91. 92 added 16" wheels and the side moldings for a lower look.

The original SC? What? That car is superb stock, to this day. Nearly a perfect design!!! Of course styling opinions will differ but its pretty universal that people love the SC design. The 2SC, now that we have heard being called ugly

 

 

LOL!!!!!!!!

 

 

Looks no better than the current model and it looks just like an Accord/TSX/RL/MDX to me. Good for the Honda faithful but uhhh for me.

Not bad but simply not blown away like the last model. Maybe with NAV it will get better.

 

Whats the SYNC button? Is that the Microsdoft system that is currently used in Fords?

The interior gives me dizzy spells. SO much going on and looks worse than the current TL interior.
