To me, this 5th gen TL looks like a modernized version of the 3rd gen TL, and to me, that is a VERY good thing.

not sure if if i like that dash.

it resembles the accord in some ways and a tsx in others.

I like how it looks especially in black but I hate how the rear end resembles an ILX.

id like to see how it looks like with the A Spec lip kit or optional lip kit

maybe with a slight drop. still debating if i like how it looks

so far. not that much

I'm actually pretty disappointed. I mean I knew TLX was not going to show up identical to its "concept" form but every single little piece that was agressive on the concept seems to of been abandoned for risk of offending someone.

Acura really needs to offend people more. Just look at lexus new language, its probably the most polarizing design in the industry, but you know what people care about it either for the fact its ugly or because they're in love. People are anemic to Acura right now...

acura is very afraid of offending someone

they dont want to come across as too aggressive like lexus.

so unfortunately all of the cars will look like evolved camrys.

Sometimes they need to take risks, Lexus did it and it played out well for them.

exactly, and one size fits all never fits anyone. Thats the real problem their in this kind of mushy middle wasteland where companies go to die. I mean one of the best examples of a polarizing brand would have to be Harley Davidson. Look how many people love HD's, and then look how many people hate them. They were never going to be everything to everyone, but they're everything for a few people and those are diehards and will carry the brand to the end...

you have to have haters to have lovers

acura is one of those.. disappointed or content brands

dont think anyone hates or loves acura.

 

[typeess]

Maybe it's hate, maybe it's not, but one thing we all can agree on is that acura could have done better.
