The more I see of Honda's new vehicles, the more I realize they're human and vulnerable just like the rest of the car companies.
Nothing they've come out with in the last several months has wowed many people.
They may be giants, but they're not 12 feet tall - they're only 9 feet tall.

I don't think this car is supposed to wow people. The current TSX doesn't wow, either, until you drive and say "Wow, what a fundamentally excellent car."
The wow factor with the TSX (and TL, MDX, RSX and NSX) isn't any one particular area, it's that the whole car is really well done. There are more powerful or better handling cars, but they make compromises (space, price, power, etc) somewhere. Generally, this has been Acura's main selling point, and it's unfortunate that they're drifting away from that with cars like the RDX and RL.
You used to get a similar feel from the Accord before Honda started screwing up the ergonomics. I really think Honda is starting to overextend themselves. For every moment of brilliance (Fit), they have an equal moment of duh (RL) that seems to come not from a lack of attention to detail.
