I was building an Acura RLX Sport Hybrid for fun, and then I noticed the rear end.

Look familiar?

Who cares. So some stuff looks like other stuff we will all survive.

Rather have a loaded Accord for nearly half the money.

But it was uncanny . I The first thing I thought was Chevy Cruze, which isn’t what you want to be associated with a flagship luxury sedan.

But if I wanted an AWD V6 Accord...

It does look a little like a watered-down 7.

mix of a cruze, 7 series, Azera, and K900

And altogether not worth $55,000.

Is AWD worth the extra $20-25k?

that’s why you buy a TLX

I think you’re too hung up on the tail lights, and they are not even that similar. I see no other similarities, except they both have center located badges

SH-AWD is a very advanced system, and it sure beats the lazy FWD of the Accord.

Of course, there is more that goes into the TLX which further justifies the price difference, but that’s only if you’re dead-set on a Honda.

It’s not like I tried to see it, it was literally the first thing that came to my mind.

Meh. Acura’s lineup does nothing for me.

The last Acura they made that I liked is the 2004-2008 TL.

They’re Japan’s Buick.

As usual I don’t think they look similar.

They have 4 doors, 4 wheels and windows.

Any 4 door sedan will have the “general shape” of a 4 door sedan, that’s how they can be placed into a “4 door sedan” category.

I know! It's almost like the industry goes through styling trends or something!

I may be the only person who doesn’t hate the RLX.
