i think its quite stunning for a tl replacement (about as bold as acura has gotten outside of the 94's front end)

The interior looks nice. Exterior...eh. It's overall not bad looking with some annoying surface details like the stupid groove running along the side. Where's that option on the poll? You can't just give it a standard "rate this from 1 to 5"?

Give it a rest, MFB. Pick the closest freaking thing that describes your feelings about it, how's that I pondered a 1-5 or 1-10 scale, then I remembered that they suck because there is absolutely no way to describe what a 1 is or a 3 is or a 5 is. a G35C is a 5 and a Chevy Impala is a 1, sure, but WTF is inbetween? This system works much better.

Nice engine but I would never buy it if I had the money.

1.)The embossed Acura on the front bumper is too....Pontiac
2.)The side lines are way too bold; the red marker at the rear end doesn't look right
3.)Looks very bland but doesn't pull it off as well as the TSX
4.)FWD

3-series > TL

again, but i'm sure Honda will sell a lot, but probably not as much as before. God knows how many TLs are on the street right now....

From some angles it looks slab sided in the photos, but otherwise excellent execution.

And a general rant: Manufacturers need to stop including 4-acres of plastic shroud under the hood. Some of us actually work on our own cars.

To me it looks pretty good. Better than the new Accord sedan (which looks overly frumpy to me). I think there is too much front overhang and the rear, by contrast looks a little too short and abrupt. But it's that front that boters me the most. Interior looks great, again even better than the Accord (and I liked the Accord interior!).

Any one know if there will be a new coupe?? Or has Acura given up after the last CL coupe? If there is a new coupe, with a 6 speed and 270 hp I'd really be interested!
