I think Acura's problem was styling. LOOOONNG overhangs when other FWD based cars were going to great lengths to minimize (read: Audi A4/A5). The TL, TSX and RL just look like dolled up accords. I used to own a 1st gen RL and they had the "RWD look" because they did what audi did recently and thats to position the engine in such a way as to cut the overhang. Oh and theyre grills are disgusting too!

ehhh, their nav is outdated.
sat in the TL and it was basically the same nav system from our old 2000 odyssey, with slightly updated graphics (obviously with newer features).

If I were in the market for a Navi, then Acura is the best. If I were in the market for a new car, Acura would be on the bottom of my list.
