That last picture is really the only one that makes me want it. The others don't do much for me. The front overhang is kind of long--it is a FWD V6 car so I have to give them that. I don't really care for the indent on the side. It's a little TOO pronouced, yet the door handles on the same line looks good (some companies do it above or below and it makes it look tall or frumpy, depending). I like to see a part between the grill and the headlights--I don't know, I just like there to be a little something there. Is there really a need for the ugly side marker when the turn signal is big enough to tell Iraq that Bush is coming? Hm. It looks nice, all in all, but I just can't see me buying one if I had to money. That's a large "if."

We're thinking our next vehicle is going to be a car... this one is definitely appealing to us right now.

Phew.

Okay, I think that this is a VERY attractive car. Very distinctive. I love it, inside and out. This is gonna destroy the 3-Series in sales and maybe make a run at the C-Class. Or is it the other way around? :thinking:

It's great that we finally get more than two interior colors :thumbup: I hate Redondo Red (looks best on the odyssey), but the new Blue looks nice

I think it's the other way around.

3-Series > C-Class
E-Class > 5-Series

I can't help but agree with you 98... this is a great looking car, Acura/Honda really did it this time.

Whoa, that interior is awesome. Sorry for not waiting until it was finished. Any word on if we could see an AWD system in the future? Or is this probably going to be RL material?

I like it. I may just go with it instead of the Accord six speed. Providing the sticker doesn't shoot north of 35k, then it's a little out of my league. Six speed w/o nav in satin silver metallic and quartz leather. And the Mercedes influence is strong, especially with the steering wheel and center dash pod design. Looks like a winner. Acura seems to be stepping up to the task.

Yeah I think it is too. And I type out the damn Sales reports :lmao:

The interior and exterior are fan-tastic. The exterior has strong, crisp lines and I really think it looks great. A lot better than anything in its class IMO. It's not quite as bold/distinct as the maxima, but almost.

The interior is like, wow. The splashes of aluminum are perfectly placed and well mixed with the wood trim. Great job, Honda/Acura! Oh yeah, and that 6 speed transmission looks :drool:

Don't worry about it, I just wanted to get some pictures up before I finished it all

I'm gonna say AWD IMA debuts in the RL this spring, then trickles down to the TL Type-S MY2006.
