The whole design team for NA Honda Acura have to get pink slips. The past 2 honda accord design is a joke and look at the Acura line up, "holy beak mobile, batman!!!". These things are fugly!! That's why I'm looking to nissan and vw products. Sometime will need to change over there.

Damn is all I can say. Glad I bought acura's last good looking model IMO the 3rd gen TL (04-08). After that hmmm... I dunno. Does anybody have any suggestions? As far as fun to drive, reliable, safe, stylish, and luxurious... 40-55k range.
