Acura TL looking pretty good

from bitkahuna's pic you can't see the excessive overhangs. or the ridiculous grille, or the rear end.
The first time I saw one in person was pretty much spot on with the pics online. Underwhelmed by both the design, and some of the fit/materials used.

While the side profile is the best angle of this new TL, that's not saying much at all. The side profile (unfortunately) makes the ridiculous front fender flare stick out like a sore thumb. Every time I see a new TL from the side, I always imagine it got involved in a front-end collision, just because that front fender flare is so out-of-place and awkward-looking.

bit, I don't think we have agreed on anything in the past month 
Without going into details after seeing these Megatron Turds on the road and puking each time I've seen one I will quickly say the car is the ugliest luxury branded vehicle made maybe the past 20 years. Mods don't help. God can't help. The devil does not want it in hell.

ffpower- Funny you say that. When I was at the Acura dealership. The sales guys said the opposite & that lots of people (masses) like the design & car is selling well. I don't like the design or speak for the masses. There are lots of them on the road in the Northeast tri-state PA area. I didn't really like the previous gen TL either but lots of people buy em. It is what it is.

PAULGS430, if the TL indeed looks great why would the Acura dealers still want to modify them (painted grille...). Even after Acura NA made announcement that they think the dealers should stop modifying the TL still see a black TL with painted grille sitting in the most noticeable spot here at Power Acura in South Bay. In case you didn't know that's probably the closest Acura dealership to the Acura NA headquarter in Torrance, CA.
If that's not a slap in the face to Acura then I don't know what is...

ffpower- thank you for letting us know that Power Acura is the closest location to Acura NA in Torrence ca. Didn't know dealers were painting the grills either, good to know. Again TL styling & design is curious. lol. I don't think I ever said the car looked great. Lot of em on the road here.

No. Ugly it may be (I'll agree to that...at least on the surface), but, with 305 HP and one of the world's best AWD systems, there is no way you can pan the drivetrain.
