[TSX69]

So far on the net the new Acura Power Plenum Grille has been despised by many. I have yet to see it up close but when I drive past the Acura dealership, it without a doubt catches your eye.

Acura has said that they wanted to move upmarket & have more of a presence & this grille definitely does that. You cannot miss this thing & you will recognize it from far off ... if this is a good or bad thing remains to be seen.

I also like the subtle way they used 5 sided grille shape in the back around the license plate:

I like the back, given a better style of the pervious model, but the grill looks gross, wonder if Mugen will make one for the new TSX?

First generation TSX is my preference as well. This car just looks too bulky - however, I have no complaints about the interior.

exactly, looks like its.... smiling at you?? wtf??

The back looks like Camry ....

All in all. i think they're targeting an "older" market...

And they're marketing it as "futuristic".. where in truth, little has been changed to be SIGNIFICANTLY different from the 1st gen...

Their main selling points --->
Powerful??? --> i guess... but, i wouldn't consider it so unless they put the turbo in...
Agile???--> yeah, after a few mods... and it definitely needs better tires..
Technological--> climate control, bluetooth, navi??? its nothing new...
Stylish--> well... thats what this thread is about....

shit looks like its on steroids....lol...

I dint mind it in person, and if that's whats keeping people from purchasing one I would simply color match it.

i'm pretty sure a mugen style grill is on the way

 

[deskx22]

i'm pretty sure a mugen style grill is on the way

or MUGEN GRILL is on the way... mugen has to come before mugen style

IDK...Its starting to grow on me.

 

[jhn110]

yea... me too.. but i still think the headlights and tail light resemble the civic.. idk.. imo i guess

 

[griffojm]

The grille looks like something I have seen before, I think on the new Saturn sedan (can't think of the name.)

 

[narci]

Imagine the stone chips on that front chrome grill will get...yikes.

Interior is horrible..hw can it be upscale when it looks like a civic interior?

 

[orange7]

after seeing so many pics of the grill.. it has grew on me..
Then when i went to the dealership to buy touchup paint for my 08 tsx..
i saw the grill.. and it doesn't look so good in person..
once again.. i've lost the sense for the new grill..
