ACURA FOR CERTIAN IS HEADED DOWN THE WRONG PATH IN DESIGN ASPECT... Who is actually designing these grills and who in the corporate side is actually 'OKing" this design theme... Please wake up and see what you did in the nineties and revert back to basics..

lol. they must be embarrassed. WHy is it all the way in the cut? Should be somewhere where people can see it. Not next to an Isuzu Trooper, Ford Ranger, and a 350 Z.

Here are the Acura designer's brilliant comments on the MDX concept that was shown before release of current MDX:
“The smooth lines and sleek shape of the MD-X Concept challenge the conventions of SUV design,” said Ricky Hsu, chief designer for the MD-X Concept. “Our goal was to create the image of a sports sedan while maintaining generous interior volume and utility of a SUV.”
The front hood is accented with pronounced character lines culminating in an aggressive five-sided grille, which gives the MD-X its bold presence. The commanding front grille features a dominant center bar running through a solid aluminum face. The narrow, Xenon High Intensity Discharge (HID) headlights appear to grow out of the massive grille, giving the overall front-end a strong, distinct look.
“The front end of the MD-X Concept communicates power and prestige,” explains Hsu. “We want drivers to do a double-take when the vehicle passes them on the road.”
Ok, so now we know, the beak is about power and prestige.

Now full steam ahead, the next project is to ruin all the Honda grill too.
