In my view Acura is strugling in key areas: First, there is a serious flaw with the color of the bumpers not matching the body color and reflection in the rest of the body panels. Folks, this is luxury territory, not econo class. Second, there are two many curves and lines in the dashboard and a sense of darkness. Acura has lost the sense of simplicity, elegance, and ambiance. Now to the front grill, it is plain ugly and funny looking for a car in this class. The previous TL looked better, it was love at first sight. If you don't want to listen that is fine, but stop kidding yourselfs. The designs are missing the mark, they are overly designed as if trying too hard to make a statement, but it results in confusion to the eye. There is little aesthetic balance all around. One last point, how could they miss the wiper arms, totally anticuated! Sorry, close but no cigar, for me and probably another 25-30K potential customers.
