BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !
the 08 looks WAY better.
Typical of Honda, make each new generation of nearly every vehicle look worse than the old one.

Re: (ucb)
I can't believe I bought stock in a company that thought it would be a good idea to create this. It looks WAY WAY worse. How could they put a final stamp of approval on that grille?! I bet it'll sell even worse. It's not like it looks uglier, but more expensive... this actually makes it look cheaper, too.

Re: 2009 Acura RL = meh (The Phil)
luxury cars that dont break and arent an arm and a leg to repair> "proper" luxury cars
Acura and Lexus both make fine automobiles (well minus a few models)

LMAO WTF is that supposed to mean?
edit: and the RL just now broke the 300hp mark? Impressive.....................
and does anyone notice that it seems that they lifted the 09 car by an inch? Im sure its just the pics but that car just looks like crap all around.
The wheels also appear to be stolen from a Hyundai Genesis.

$1k repair bill every month = mad baller status.
The dealer charged my cousin $500 to replace the t-stat on his 04 530i

Yup, proper luxury cars should spend half their time in the shop, makes them more exclusive and not as commonly seen on the road 
So even if 3000 of 1 car are sold, there should only be 1500 or so on the road at any give time
WELCOME TO THE CLUB BABY. EXCLUSIVE, BABY LETS DO THIS!

That looks pretty shitty. I don't really like many of the Acura vehicles, they aren't very clean with their lines anymore. I like the TSX...thats really it.
The current RL is better than this abomination they're slating for release. I hope they clean it up a bit or it'll be another case of Acura failing at creating a competitive flagship vehicle.

and you can hangout at the repair shop and brag to eachother about how awesome your car is, even if it isnt running. God cant let you show off the sheer awesomeness of the vehicle every day.

At the gas station I saw a 94ish 3/4 ton Suburban with a Cummins badge on the back

yup..if it ran all the time, it would be common place and therefore not quite proper!

Funny you mentioned that car, that car looks both more expensive and just way better than this thing.
Thing that scares me the most is I read this new "corporate face" will be spread to the new TL and TSX... so we can expect a similar horrendous and out of place grille on those cars.
