I know I'm in the minority, but I kinda like the exhaust. I'm actually bugged more by the TSX exhaust which looks like a pipe that was cut off with a hacksaw at an angle (no rolled edges).

I would have thought the new TL would have exhaust tips like the Accord V6 or Acura TSX. Round tips, in my opinion, always look more sophistocated than square tips. Other than the tips, the car looks tight. I think I could look past them after a while.

i dont like the exhaust at all. The previous gen had such sexy smooth exhaust pipes. These look too Pontiac-Masculine like.

Exhaust tips look straight from the Pontiac parts bin, but I don't mind them all in all...at least Acura isn't showing complete restraint. I like the wheels alot...the rest of the car is too hidden to judge.

I wouldn't hold your breath for AWD.

Yeah, in any event, I'm pretty pleased.
The exhaust isn't a deal killer for me.
The rear elevation shot is obviously low to see if AWD was on the cards or not. As a result, the exhaust may integrate better with the form of the car when viewed at a "normal" angle.
I've got to see the whole car, on the showroom floor - at real-life eye levels-first.

This has got to be AWD. If not, it will be a loser and a huge disapointment...something Honda doesn't deliver in a mainstream category like this.

^^^ I agree 98CoupeV6, AWD is a must-do this time around.
