These guys look really boring and not the most artistic. They kinda look like the TLX itself in that way. The lead designer of Lexus looks far more interesting and artistic. Maybe Acura needs to choose some engineers that have some edge to them.

Was still there a few minutes ago. Are you sure that you are looking at Acura' official facebook page? There are a great many Acura dedicated pages on there.
Alright, maybe he's not the coolest looking guy around, but you can tell that he has some fashion sense. I think its pretty obvious that he is willing to take more fashion and design risks than these guys are.
I can understand how you would think I'm joking though.

Thank God Acura is not treating car designs as fashion...
Some people drool for in-your-face bold and risky, cool today crappy tomorrow designs, good for them. They also like changing cars every 3-4 years (just on time when the "cool" design becomes crappy).
I prefer conservative, classic, tried-and-true designs.

I rather have the more fashion-geared approach to design. Acura designs are nice, especially the RLX but there are designs that I prefer which are offered from other brand, but those brand are some way out of my budget.
To be perfectly honest, Acura used to design cars that were simple in their presentation, but were absolutely beautiful at the same time. Elegant lines, and bold performance.
Ok lets hold on for a second, was the dont judge a book by its cover lesson missed? I'm not sure how you can judge a mans design capabilities by how he looks in jeans and an acura button up...
as for the man from lexus, I dont care how floral his tie is, HES STILL RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS:

After thinking about it for several days, I really don't think that the design engineers are all that much to blame for the (seemingly) lack that this car has shown so far. I really think that they were given some pretty narrow parameters to work with.
1. It had to fit between the ILX and the RLX.
2. It had to transition the TSX into that model niche. I honestly believe that this is the updated TSX.
3. Showcase the newest automatic transmissions Honda had developed.
4. High fuel efficiency.
5. Target younger, upwardly mobile, family oriented drivers.
The family aspect of this car is very obvious. Low key, high tech, and just enough power to get out of trouble if needed. I think that the this design team did a very fantastic job of giving the Acura execs just what they wanted.
Oh, and I totally agree that the 3rd Gen TL was the apex of Acura's primacy in design. Nothing has even come close to that near perfection since.
