Agreed with the majority in here. better, but nothing great... I'm much more excited about the Hyundai updates.

I see that they are still shooting themselves in the foot with that beak....
At least we know that the Aztec designers are still gainfully employed.

The refresh is nice, they scaled back on the beak, and made the whole design less radical and much more pleasing on the eye. I'm still not fond of sharp angles, but at least its not as horrendous as CTS.

wtf, no significant styling change, no interest. At least an attempt was made to catch-up in the tranny department.

Wow the original designer still has a job at Acura. That person must be related to the Honda family.

Im very impressed with the drivetrain.
280hp v6/6 speed with manual mode/same mpg as my IS250. Lexus needs to step it up!
