What’s it with automakers and ugly facelifts/redesigns?

The sad part is, everything but that awful grille looks great.

But the grille makes it look like a GTA parody of an Acura.

But still looking like a derp while doing it.

The front end looks like what you’d think the chinese knock off of an MDX would look like.

Haha true. But it needs more chrome or ugly aftermarket looking wheels.

That, my friend, is a full bush.

Acura actually listened and changed the grille. The perfect German word for this is “verschlimmbessern” which basically describes the way of changing things that were critisised but making them not really better.

better than the chrome/metallic beaks of before

Meh. The shape was definitely better except the fugly chrome bar. I wonder how a painted beak grille would look like.

painting the beak is quite popular among the TL crowd

That looks really good actually. I’d do the same.

Not only ugly, but boring and derivative.

It’s not perfect, but it’s a hell of a lot better than the 2016 IMO. Somehow they’ve even managed to redesign the headlights so that I don’t mind them now.

The shape of the grille is really weird now. Maybe it’ll look different in better quality pictures though.

I agree, if it didn’t drop down so pronounced at the bottom it would look a lot better. I’m just happy the beak is gone. Baby steps...

That’s what Acura thought too

I think this looks “cheap”. The latest silver beak grills (more rounded edges, not as pronounced and pointy) actually looked better and more upscale.

I wouldn’t say cheap per se but just very weirdly shaped. The latest beaks did look acceptable though.

Absolutely hated the concept car that “inspired” this. I don't like the new grill at all. Too tall and not wide enough.

looks better without the beak.

Acura should’ve kept the shape of the current beak and make the chrome bar much thinner.
