I'm very interested to see how the car performs.
It better blow the doors off the GT-R then. It is uglier then the GT-R so it better be faster too to make up for it

with some pretty hefty help its doable. different grille, probably something custom, wheels coils ect.

at this point, im replacing my wifes TSX with either a 335i/is350. the is is more secky, but the 335 is modable.

Don't judge a car's looks until you've seen one in person. Btw, have you seen a GT-R in person?

It's funny...I thought the SAME thing yesterday as I saw a TSX cross the intersection...

I don't know what it is about that front end...I see it and actually don't mind it at times...and then (like yesterday) I see it and want to call Homeland Security.

In fact I just checked and Homeland Security has revised their Threat Level nomenclature to:

LOW ----------- GREEN
GUARDED ----- BLUE
ELEVATED ----- YELLOW
HIGH ----------- ORANGE
SEVERE -------- RED
ACURA GRILL - BLINDING SILVER

I hear you. I did not like the looks of the new 1 series when I first saw pictures, Guess what? After seeing one in person, I own one

To be honest I have not seen a GT-R yet in person but I actually like the looks of it. With that said we all know that the GT-R was not built to be pretty.

I have seen the new TSX and RL in person and that new grill is still horrible. I can not imagine that the TL is any better The TL to me IS a car that is built to be good looking. I would say that at least 95% of the people that are in the market for a sports sedan want it to look good first, performance is a close second maybe even third behind comfort.
