Spotted a few weeks ago, forgot about it until now.  I don’t see many of these around here.

Think that’s one of the special edition ones too in that NSX red. Very meh car but cool color

I think Acura did an incredible job of changing "the beak* into something attractive. They've got one of my favorite corporate front ends, which... Seems like a laughable thing to say going back 5 or 6 years

I used to hate the beak but it is looking better with every passing year. It almost seems clean compared to most modern front end design.

And in 10 years we will miss the “character” of older designs when everything has a Tesla face (not a hater).

The front badge needs to be bigger.

I think you’re right. I didn’t realize it at the time, but I guess it seemed interesting enough to snap a quick photo. I’ve never really been a big Honda/Acura fan , but seeing 1 of 360 built in person is kinda special at least.

I clearly stopped paying attention a few years ago.  When did the beak go away???  (I’m off to search)

The A-Spec isn’t bad looking at all.

I just mentioned to a friend that this is the spiritual successor to the 2004 Infiniti M45.

How exactly?

It is FWD, doesn’t have a V8, smaller, and is made by Honda.

I love the headlights in the newer Acuras. Very neat looking.

Nothing about this car that an available 6MT couldn’t fix (same can be said for the Camry & Maxima , IMO)

It’s a good looking car no doubt but needs 3 things that will hopefully come in 2021 and not get delayed too much:

1. Single screen infotainment from the Accord with Android and Apple compatibility

2. 2.0turbo and 10 speed from the Accord

3. The unofficially confirmed turbo V6 Type-S with a DCT

They also need more of them.

I would love the shit out of this car in manual. In auto tho... it can sit in that parking lot till the cows come home

Im a Honda and jdm guy and I prefer the 2004-2008 TL . A dependable Honda  Accord under Acura skin. Parts are affordable and can be used with Honda OEM parts to lower maintenance costs. 3.2 Sohc vtec is marvelous engine to have.

Id like to see Acura do an LED badge with color changing options. Same tech as under car LEDs either sweeping slowly through the spectrum or standard color choices like red green blue etc.

I just bought a 2018 with 12k miles on it. It's roomie and runs great. It just isn't sporty no matter how hard they try. It's a split between a legacy and a Mazda 6 in style and comfort. In 6'2, it fits me fine but outside of the gas guzzling sport+ mode it doesn't give the liveliness of driving my old 2008 C30 with standard transmission.

Red and blue are usually reserved for emergency vehicles.
