The 2004 TL was a phenomenal automobile as well as a very nice looking one, but they ruined the front end a couple of years ago.

the mothership aka Honda is already boring, so they needed to segregate themselves by going to the other extreme. LOL @ the beak.

The latest honda civic is a huge failure as well. Like another poster said....I'd never thought I'd see the day where Kia, Hyundai, and Buick make better looking cars than Honda/Acura.

I've always like the TL's but I think the SUV's are ugly.

Ever since Mr. Honda left the scene, things have not been the same. Soichiro Honda - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Yes, new Acuras are beyond hideous in styling. I had a 96' 2.5 TL. It was a simple clean good-looking looking car. It conked out at about 200K miles. I also have a 2000 3.5 RL. That was my baby that I have been proudly driving for about ten years. It was the top of its class for its time, inside and out. The last good-looking RL was the 2005 generation.

My 2000 RL has 180K miles on it and most probably has a cracked head gasket and is in need of a new engine among countless other repairs that are not worth the fixing. There is no way in hell I would buy a newer Acura because they are so hideous. I am currently looking at new Hyundais. Yes, Hyundai. I never in my life thought I would be seriously thinking about driving one but Hyundai has gotten much better over the years while Acuras have lost their appealing looks faster than Linsday Lohan. I guess its just not the 90's anymore.

I think Acura TL 3rd generation is by far the best looking of all Acura sedan model, I don't like the 3rd RL because it looked like for old man, and TSX looked like a compact car.

My 4G TL will not win any beauty contest. This I know.
However, get behind the wheel of one, and it will certainly change your perspective.
More I drive it, the better it looks.
