That front-end has got to be one of the UGLIEST I’ve ever seen. And that’s including the reviled Aztek.

Looks like the next “Acura RL” will be renamed the “Acura ROFL” to me

Why did they do this? That is terrible looking. I know Acura wants to show it can actually style an attractive, aggressive car but this isnt the way to do it. The TL looks good, but other than that everything they make is dull or ugly like the MDX. If this is their future design direction someone needs to be fired ASAP. All of the GM bashers on here look up to this company? They are great with putting Nav, HIDs and nice sound systems in their cars, but styling has never been their strength.

Burgundy, R. – this is definitely NOT the concept of the 2008 TSX. Acura’s website said it is a styling excercise to find out what the designers think a 2010 RL could look like, or something to that end.

Wahahahahahaha! It looks like it was designed in China by a committe of taxi drivers. What on earth happened to smooth, flowing, sexy low-key acuras?

Hyperion, at least we finally have a genuinely FUNNY Comments section here! Instead of typical LLN “Honda sucks – go GM etc” we have some true comedy – come on, the “ARSE” and the “ambiguously gay duo car from SNL” – that is some funny shit!

samurai sword precision. japanese traditional style lines. i’d drive it on the tokyo streets…

Concepts reflect the most EXTREME expression of a manufacturer’s intended design language for the next few years– naturally anything extreme like that will look like ass. Wait for the prototype cars to surface…

Stepping back to reality, however, it doesn’t matter what design Acura tries to float. They sell expensive FRONT WHEEL DRIVE CARS. It doesn’t matter how good their new designs look. Lets hope the suggestive rear-wheel-drive cues are something Acura plans to go ahead with from now on.

That is the UGLIEST show car I’ve seen in years. Fire that person. . . scratch that fire all the people involved in that horror.

LOL Asher! How about “Acura Remission Sedan Exercise”? Because it truly looks like ARSE!

It looks like a damn Alien with silver-plated teeth! Honda, did some Toy Ota designer defect to your side?

By: Asher

Asher — Thu, 30 Nov 2006 23:33:54 +0000

LOL autonutt, I was just thinking they should rename it the “Acura Remission Sedan Concept” because I still cant find any of the “advanced” part…

Damn is that ever ugly. Honda must have swapped designers with KIA.

That is called “Desperation styling”.
Honda hired a 13 year old kid on dope to style this “thing” for them.

Oh what the hell is that? “The pronounced hood and large grille communicate performance…” Can that marketing guy actually say that with a straight face?

jacked up proportion, weird graphics, unattractive surface and volume…woohoo…there are plenty of opportunities for young designers to make it better!…a LOT better!

Uh-oh, looks like Chris Bangle finally met his match. Honda/Acura actually built something a little bit uglier than the current 5 series, way to go Honda!! Come on Herr Bangle, you can certainly top that.

Ugly as sin, but if the current bland RL looked something like this, Acura may have been able to sell more than 3 of them nationwide.

they should fire that desigher right now

This is the concept of the 2008 TSX, better get used to it. Proportions suggest rear wheel drive, and they’re not THAT bad – go look at a side view of a S2000; look familiar? Grille’s ugly, but it follows the same design theme of the new MDX.

What is Acura thinking with that new grill?

those rims look ghetto!
hahaha.
but seriously acura- stop it.
this isn’t one of those controversial designs that people will like in a year.
yeahhh that bad.

Acura, stay away from that grille. You are beginning to look like Subaru in terms of ugliest grilles.

By: meanpants555

meanpants555 — Thu, 30 Nov 2006 14:07:27 +0000

There are some good elements though; the swollen wheel arches that appear to engulf the cabin. Origami-esque shut lines and a nice ‘presence’ in the vein of a Chrysler 300C. The split in the ‘U’ on the door handles is kind of cheeky, too.

By: meanpants555

meanpants555 — Thu, 30 Nov 2006 14:01:58 +0000

Thank God Acura/Honda made that concept. After a string of super sharp cars TSX, RL and TL, I was beginning to believe that Honda/Acura was getting design savvy, but alas we get a constipated boar.

its funny because Honda makes the worst concepts, but the best products, while the opposite is usually true about GM

Damn…I had to turn away from my monitor as this “thing” is damn ugly! Hell, maybe GM does stand a chance in recovering.
