Now That Chicago Is Over, What Was Your Best And Worst Of The Show?

Worst: 2009 Acura TL

Best: Cadillac CTS-V

Yes, I did mean the 2009 Acura RL, but I might as well include the 2009 Acura TL if Acura's current design trends are any indication... LOL!

Plus 1

I don't know about that showed pics of the 09 RL to mt friend who loves Lexus and you no what he said I like it it is aggressive.

I didnt even take time to stop in Acura but dont feel I missed anything. Between the two, Id rather take the Hyundai Genesis. Id hate to be an Acura dealer with this crap on the horizon!

plus one? are you joking? its more like

plus 19

your meen Acura RL

I meant, you mean the Acura RL

Yes, the worst car and biggest disappointment was the Acura RL.

What a troll. If you are a true automotive fan, you should be able to appreciate ALL vehicles without regard for the brand. Only TROLLS believe in on product. Go get a life, and take that bloated boat with you

josh: drop dead troll.




Best: CTS-V

worst:.. RL?

This guy is only trying to make Lexus fans look stupid.

he's 14!

Oh my God!!!

What the hell is Acura thinking?

The RL's redesign looks like it was penned in a Karaoke bar!!

I'd hate to be an Acura Fanboy right now. Blakura, why you so quiet?

"The RL's redesign looks like it was penned in a Karaoke bar!!"
Hilarious!

Sure, riiiight...

The Biggest Troll on this site!

Hey I love BMW's but even I know that Audi's do not look awful.... the worst car here at Chicago is and was the Acura RL... what a backwards move. I think Honda is giving up on this division. It lacks any unique models like Lexus and Infiniti have, all of the models are Honda's elsewhere... so really there is nothing special about them. This is sad cause Acura was the fore father of Japanese Luxury Brands.

Best: too many awesome new cars! (S5, 135i, X6, R8, F650)
Worst: Acura RL

there is no improved performance... 10hp and what else?

I am a die-hard Acura fan, I've been saying my next one will be a TSX coupe AWD and +300hp... I thought the concept-4 was the glimpse of what was to come, that would be a great way to get their performance/luxury image out there.. they only seem to focus on the technology aspect of it.

I'm looking for the article where I read it, but the President (or CEO or VP whatever) was discussing the future of the Acura and Honda brands.. focusing on drawing a distinct line between the two brands. The entire Acura line up would be receiving a (at the time recently developed) brand new AWD system, SH-AWD and would all receive engines no smaller than 300hp... Honda on the other hand would focus on "going green" with environmentally friendly cars across the entire line-up, using hybrid engines for the smaller vehicles (civic size) and diesel engines for the larger (Accord, Pilot, etc.. )

If acura was to offer SH-AWD and 300+hp on all of their cars, with a RWD bias option or RWD on the performance ones, they could finally start to shake this dramatic downward spiral that have been in.

One great thing about this terrible design, it confirms the only way they can save the next RL will be a V8 or all the way to their new V10. Sad thing is, by that time a V10 in a "flagship" sedan will be the status quoe, and Acura will just be playing catch-up again..

One very upset Acura fan....

Best: CTS-V, Tii, R8, X6, XF, etc...

Worst: Acura RL

With the majority picking the Acura RL as the worst, why is the car in the picture grinning at me?

Well Acura has some real styling problems.They have clearly lost their mojo from what they had 4 or 5 yrs ago. Cadillac,Audi,Jaguar the new Challenger from Dodge are clearly the highlights.

Acura

.....opps Acura RL the worst, it looks hideous.

best: that matte black IS-F
worst: probably the RL

I can't understand the photo gallery. Why are their no categories for model or brand? Based on what I saw in the gallery, the red car with chrome front end and rear trunk lid wins the cake for 1st place loser!

Best: nissan GT-R

worst: eh....they're all good

Worst - Acura RL

Best - Cadillac CTS V and BMW Tii

Worst: Acura RL

Best: Everything that doesn't have an Acura badge on it.

Best - GTR,R8,Cadillac CTS V
Worst - none.

Do you know what's wrong with that glorified Honda?

They stopped copying the Germans and decided to design their own car.

The 09 RL is the best example of trying to put lipstick on a pig. I have owned alot of Acura' but I see nothing worth buying from Acura right now.

There was really only one bad car, obviously the RL.

Definitely the RL was a big disappointment.
Best is LF-A roadster.

Also, the Charger is just ugly in and out.

... And The (Long Been In Production) CHARGER Is Being Mentioned Because?

Best car: BMW 1 series tii
Worst Car: Acura RL

Wow ugly is all I can say about it. A warped Acura grill with definite Honda cues. RL will not increase in sales much, only the diehards will buy this at first, once thy have bought one sales will fall again.
BMW's tii concept teases us with what could be with the 1 series taking us back to the 2002 roots.

You need glasses buddy.

LOL, funny infantile and cute remarks makes wanna take a dump.

The RL is so disappointing that it makes it look ugly. It's looks like the accord with a creased frontend of a cadilac. The only problem is, it's a cheap fwd accord with gadgets. It's like dressing up a grocery cart with bells and whistle but manages to make it look uglier.

My God - You Really Are An Idiot!
