That's one nice design to me. When I saw new TSX in front of my eyes, I suddenly fell in love with new front grill look of new Acura models. So, that TL looks really awesome as well. Though, I still wonder how the rear-end looks.

This doesn't look like an actual photograph of the TL. I think it is an artist's rendering. The ugly grille looks over exaggerated.

Spy shots of the car seem pretty decent IMO. The front is pretty aggressive. Not sure I like the rear around the C pillar though.

I will reserve judgment until I see it in person. The TSX looks better in person. But so far I'm happy that I bought the 2006 TL.

jesus christ honda's designers have just surrendered or something. first the new TSX, and then, just when i thought it couldn't get any worse, boom!

and i'm really getting tired of bmw's window kink showing up on everything.

I'm still not sold on the grill on the other models, but on this car it seems to work. The rest of the car is angular enough to pull off the grill.

300 HP and SH-AWD ought to be enough to give the competition a run for its money if Acura continues its tradition of standard-setting interiors and features at competitive pricing.

I highly disagree, heh.

I still say the TSX looks better in person than in pictures. Of course, it looks like crap in pictures, so "better" is relative. The TSX would also be much better looking with 300hp and AWD, performance really improves styling.

Oooh not bad, that's the best execution of that new acura grille yet. I guess they took all the negative comments about the TSX to heart...

I reserve judgment until I drive it. Looks a little funky, don't care much about looks, care about how it drives.

nah, i am digging it, even the front grille too. However, the front wheel fender arch is very unnecessary.
