Am I the only one that thinks Acuras are ugly?

I'm not saying that they're as ugly as acura's cars but they're still butt ugly compared to their german or american rivals.

Yup, HR10EG 3.5l V8. Sounds like an F1 car.

The current version is so ugly, I agree, looks like a transformer:

The newest Acura models are so ugly, but anything pre-2009 is sexy. I'm am absolutely in love with the look of the earlier Acura TL's.

you basically pay $40k for a saturn aura:

not to mention it has a face for an ass, and not a very pretty one. at least if u damage the grill on a TL, it's safe to know you can just jack the trim off the trunk of an aura

It looks okay as a Honda.

I'm not a huge fan of the new styling of Acuras, especially the TL.

I do have to say though, that they are great cars to drive. The new TL engine is very responsive and revs quite freely. The interiors of those cars are very nice as well and the technology package is a great feature. Which is the other thing I like about Acura, no nickel and dime for everything, you either get it with or without tech package, everything else standard.

I believe they're coming out with a refresh for the TL with a front end that's a little less "intense".

The only similarity between these two is the aluminum/chrome accent on the trunk.

Crimson92 · 10-28-2010, 06:29 PM

some of the older acuras are ugly(to me) but i think they still make a decent looking car

I really don't understand why everyone thinks the older ones are amazing looking. They're okay, but they aren't substantial or really clever; just really generic and boy racer-esque.

not all, some....the older boxy RL was hideous

Raine · 10-28-2010, 07:32 PM

The previous gen TL-Type S is easily my favorite looking Acura. The new one looks all right, but it's polarizing, some love it, others hate it.

not if u squint

look a little closer, the window profiles are identical, the boots take away at the same angle... whenever i see a saturn aura i mistaken it for a TL.

BMW F22 · 10-29-2010, 02:04 AM

I don't like the new TL but that's about it. I think the new TSX actually looks pretty nice. I think the RDX, MDX and ZDX all look pretty good. The cars that I really dislike are from Honda and Toyota. My goodness if I were buying a car (even though more bang for my buck), I wouldn't buy either a Honda or Toyota (especially toyota). I think all their new models look like crap. They look so bland it's not even funny.

.:bHd:. · 10-29-2010, 02:36 AM

It all comes down to how you want to spend your money. A $29,000 TSX comes with real leather (not leatherette), ipod connection, bluetooth (and audio), xenon headlights, paddle shifters (altho they suck), a bangin system, heated seats etc. I test drove a lot of cars and the TSX was the only one I actually liked in its price range.

If Acura decided to make the TSX RWD and slapped a turbo on to that 4 banger, they would draw a whole lot of people to it. It's pretty much the only thing holding me from loving this car.

do you wanna be my friend? because you took the words outta my mouth!

I've been wanting this from Acura for the longest time. They're thinking of dropping the f22 engine from the S2k in a TSX, with turbo set up; as their type s. It was some speculation from Penske Honda.

They need to make the TSX a RWD and add a Type-S.

spiike32 · 10-29-2010, 05:03 PM

I traded in my 2007 TL-S for the 335i. For a fwd car.... it was probably the best fwd car I ever drove. They tried to make the handling tight and simple mods brought up the hp to around 270 to the wheel. The car as a whole looks like a wedge... which some have said is a timeless design.

The 4th gen TL (2009+) is hideous on the outside but quite nice on the inside. I test drove it a couple times then said good bye to Acura. The company even painted the beak from the factory because they realized how hideous it looks.

Who are you trying to impress here?

Owners of 335 wouldnt even cross shop for a TSX. For 29k i rather just get a Accord or Hyundai...

In case you didn't notice, this isn't a 335 only forum. I would take the TSX over a base 328 sedan any day of the week. Obviously a 335 is a different story but it's also $10k more soo yah.

And if for the same price you would get an accord or a hyundai then I'm just gonna stop talking to you and save myself the head ache.

Have you looked at the latest Accord? Ugly doesn't even begin to describe the exterior styling.
