Side profile is probably the best angle for the TL

insert Paul >>>"Miguel coleone, Do you accept Jesus christ as the son of god?" "Do u renounce Satan?" "Do u still love Lexus even though they slipped to 2nd in JD Power rankings?" Even though the styling of the TL is some what.
Acura will sell a hellavalot em. The masses like the way it looks.

You speak for the masses?

Last time I checked MYSELF, even the Acura sales privately admitted to me that they think the TL is butt-ugly.

By the way, the TL is LITERALLY BUTT-ugly.

OK, time for your medication bitkahuna Just saw a black TL yesterday, that car looks as ugly coming as it does going. The front shield and the chrome V in back stands out way too much in black.

That doesn't look too bad, but I am still waiting for the TL's 6-speed to show up at the local dealership

I'm finding the new TL a bit more tolerable. The looks isn't what bothers me...it's the lack of drivetrain.

The previous generation is of course MUCH better, but the side profile of the new one is not bad. The front and rear on the other hand are butt ugly...

Yep, it's ugly despite the dark color that fails to disguise it's ugliness.
