2009 Acura TL in Depth

oogly!!!

While it's not the most beautiful car in the world, I still like it way more than the ugly new Maxima.

This looks like a Mutant Honda Accord, Urghhhh!

It makes me sad because the last TL was beautiful

Ouch, I feel for this car's pain as it fell through the ugly tree and hit every branch....

Man, that thing is even FUGLIER than a Maxima~

this has to be one of the most dissapointing redesigns ever. it looks like they put the old grill in the back. this car has the weirdest proportions i have ever seen. idk what honda's plan is, but the old TL was one of the best looking vehicles of it's time. now i'd buy an accord v6 before even looking at this ugly s*&t

Actually, it doesn't look that bad when comparing it to the last TL, which I own. The front ends are almost identical, while the back end and side profile are very reminicent of other Lexus models. I agree that some of the proportions are weird but I felt the same way about some bimmer's and benz's not too long ago.

ill buy the front ½ but they can keep the rear

I think the designer of the Pontiac Aztek has found a new job... at Honda! WTF!? I know 'exciting' design is all the rage, yet this sucks. Mazda makes exciting designs while still creating a machine with visual balance and poise. This looks like a transformer mated with a Cadillac Seville. The oddest thing is the lasting elegence and style of older Acuras is lost on the outside yet retained on the inside. Acura has mastered interiors, it just seems like the exterior was built in the dark. Sadder still, this car makes the current gen Lexus ES look good, even though it has that wierd fender crease that kicks up at the front creating a 'creased with a spoon' motif. I could on... but I have to go find the Aztek creator and get Honda to fire them. LOL!

I'm pretty sure most people would pay the extra 5K and get a 5 series. True, Acura's are more dependable but a new 5 has all services/warranty covered anyways. Anyone disagree?

looks like a Honda Civic on steroids. It's ridiculously ugly car. I't like an experiment of putting parts from BMW 5 series and Honda Civic. Just stupid.
