2012 Acura TL, not as fugly

ThoriumHotdog · 02-10-2011, 06:45 PM

Looks like Acura/Honda finally came to their senses and made some changes to the fugly TL.

----
“The 2012 Acura TL is refined, yet aggressive,” said Jeff Conrad, vice president of Acura sales. “Already known for its great performance, the enhanced TL has a sophisticated new look and an all-new 6-speed automatic transmission that will take performance to the next level.”

The 2012 TL’s refined new look includes a redesigned front bumper with improved aerodynamics, a revised grille, updated headlights and turn signals, a new fog light design and a shorter front overhang. At the rear, a new rear bumper incorporates a significantly repositioned license plate opening and smaller rear reflectors, while updated taillights and a thinner rear trunk edge trim add to a sophisticated new look.

Looks a ton better, the current version is horrendous.

I personally would rather have a G37.

All they did was open the car up on Photoshop and hit gaussian blur.

"a bit" is an improvement to the bling bling model they currently sell.

Honda really needs to hire some better designers.
If Kia can make nice looking cars, Honda should be able too
I hate the point/crease in the rear

The TSX is probably their best looking car

The point is, they decreased the fugliness by 5%. A team of hundreds of engineers probably slaved for years to bring us these changes!

Looks a bit like it could be a baby Cadillac
