Acura!!! You make me miss the beak!

They really need some help making their fronts prettier, just like Honda needs some help in the rear of it’s cars.

That manages to be both ugly and bland at the same time.

But the TLX SH-AWD would be a pretty solid car if:

1. They let you keep the lane departure warning deactivated instead of it defaulting to on every time you start the car.

2. They update the infotainment to include CarPlay/Android Auto.

3. They fix the calibration of the 9-speed automatic.

I think it needs a larger Acura badge on the grille.

You’re wrong and you should feel bad.

It’s like someone started the sketch of a car but didn’t finish it, and somebody built the layout lines.

Oh god. Are we sure this isn’t a Chevy.

I think it’s actually a net gain in the looks department, given that the current model looks like this:

They also caugh what looks like a performance model, which is somehow better and worse.

That bumper looks BMW-esque to me, and not in a good way.

It looks like it’s mad at us for waking it up at this ungodly hour.

They are actors, not real people. So it’s not chevy.

Jesus, could that front emblem be any bigger??? That thing would be huge even on a damn truck.

I guess it’s their way of getting anyone to maybe notice that it’s an Acura. “HEY!!!! THIS IS AN ACURA!!!! HEEEEEY!!!!”

This is probably like how everyone hated the 2018 Mustang the day the photos were revealed and then everyone, 24 hours later, did a 180 on their opinions about it. I don’t think it’s bad, and it’s definitely an improvement over Acura’s chrome beak.

All I see is a new Ford Taurus in that front.

Not this trim version. Maybe a return of Type S.

That’s hot. Looks like there’s something on the quarter panel there. Could very well be a Type-S badge.
