The 3/4 view picture has some interesting design elements.
The tailights on that angle in the 3.4 view remind me of the current Gen Toyota Corrola.
Overall Im seeing lots of current Gen Solara and ES330, the wheels remind me of last gen ES300 Coach edition.
Im loving the brakes though, theyre sexy. Get some nicer wheels(something like the TL has) and we're good to go.

I mean, yeah, it looks better than the Catera, but it's really quite boring.

hmm... it doesnt look bad, but it doesnt look anything special for a flagship. Acura needs to make their cars look more like each other IMO. Parked next to the current TL, one wouldnt know they were made by the same company(exterior wise). The interior is ugly IMO, the looks of that wood and how its all roundy = nasty. the guages are nice.

I really like the exterior...an evoluton on the current offerings, classy and understates. The C-Pillar is a bit too Lincoln Continentalish though...not agressive enough.
The interior is so much better than the new A6 IMO...but I like the 5-Series' better. The door panels are works of art...great job there.
This would look so much better with a TL grille popped in there.
