Most obvious: They can start by killing "Power Plenum"


Terrible front grille. Really ****ing hideous atrocity has got to go.

Heck, when compared to this


The Honda Legend version is waaay better front grille


IMHO, that's the only thing that I dislike about current Acura vehicles.

P.S.
Still

I know you guys are gonna hate me but I would prefer that Acura make the SH-AWD drivetrain as mandatory throughout their entire lineup. IMHO, their torque-vectoring AWD system is the one feature or thing that makes their cars unique from similar offerings from the competition. Sure, it's gonna be heavier than FWD, RWD and thus consume more fuel.....but IMHO, there are benefits that it gets in return (such as rock-solid stability and traction, etc.)

So personally IMHO, I hope they retain the SH-AWD on their cars and thus hope that ALL of their vehicles use it. Also, I'm hoping that Honda would start adopting SH-AWD in more Honda-branded vehicles.

My two cents

I almost puked looking at hte first pic, then I fell asleep seeing the 2nd huge pic. Re-size mahn!
I no longer will crap on Acura. They are an afterthought and its beating a dead VERY ugly horse over and over.

Acura is now "luxurystyle" so I gave it a loophole. People should be thanking me

Acura is punishing us with that ugly grill, the strange part is that Acura sales are still going strong.

Yes, Acura has good strong mid-level auto business, even if it's not tier 1 car maker.

TRDFantasy

Compared to other competition and automakers, not that strong actually. TL sales seem to be on a downward trend right now, as are MDX sales. These are the main models for Acura, and they are not doing so well.

RX and ES sales, the main models for Lexus are solid at the moment, with RX sales currently very strong and IS sales seem to be going on an upward trend compared to the past few months, with the IS-C.

The new HS seems to be getting a lot of orders as well in Japan and North America.

Indeed, that monstrosity has to go.

The G Man

I agress, but Acura seem to think other wise and continue to expand that ugly grill into their whole up. This is a prefect case of a big corperation ignoring public opinion.

Blackraven

Well fine, if they wanna continue to put a blind ear on their only customers, then they're fine to do so. Fine, then they pay for their ignorance & stupidity.

I LOVE THAT GRILLE !!!! Reminds me of VOLTRON, DEFENDER OF THE UNIVERSE !!!!

IS-SV

Short reply to Acura, show me the tier 1 product.

The G Man

Acura continues to speed down the track like a race horse with blinders on, the only problem is that they are heading toward a cliff.

Lolz, on the humor aspect, you do have a point :lol:
