Not moved by any of those current gen Acura models, still like the last gen models more. Maybe over time, the current gen models might grow on me.

It's the 1st Gen TSX's chubbier and uglier sister.  The fucked up the motor too with that half ass VTEC and cast exhaust manifold.  It's a total piece of shit.

Freakin ugly! Forgot to mention I sat in one at the DC carshow and it seems like the made the backseat space smaller! Ashley got in the front seat in normal driving position and I sat in the rear and my knees were hitting the front seat as well as my head was hitting the headliner. I'm only 6'1 and she's 5'6 just to give you an idea.

On the outside I think it looks nice, but I'm not so sure engine-wise.

They have a 3 lobe intake cam, but 1 lobe (no VTEC) on the exhaust cam.  The 1st Gen TSX had 3 lobe cams on the intake and exhaust.

I like the rear-end of the new TL...but the front-end looks weird.

i think they're both pretty fucking ugly. the new grille design is just too weird and there is almost no resemblance between the 1st gen TL and the 2nd gen. i think of all the new acuras, the RL looks the best because it still has a nice smooth look to it

I'm assuming this is for money saving, and/or emissions?

I'm not really sure why they did it, but I will assume they have some reason for doing that.

I love the TSX, especially with the lips, but I hate the TL. I have always wanted a TL since the 2004 came out. I wanted the Type-S even more, then they do this. It is sooooo UGLY. I see them occasionally when I am in Nashville. I havent seen any here in MS. That has to say something about what people think about them.
