I was just out for a drive and realized it's not just Acuras. Almost every Japanese car that has come out in the past year or two is hideous. Lexus has never had a good looking car but now they're just so ugly you have to turn away to not look at them. And in my opinion Infiniti is slowly going the same route.

I have to agree. Although I do like the Lexus GS

Comparing Acura to Lexus and Infiniti? Acura has the ugliest line up available in the US. I don't get how Lexus and Infiniti is going the same route. Nothing in their line up makes me look and stare and say "shit.. thats the ugliest car I ever saw.."

the only reason you like the ISF and the LFA is because you know they're fast. They both look like shit. Especially for their price.

Anyone have any info on Acura's sales from 2009-on compared to before that time period?

Theirs a million students at my campus who think the 325 model you drive is hideous.

Their is no such thing as "ugly."

Everyone is different with car choices and preferences.

Acura is not bad at all. Theirs other car companies who have worse ratings...

This is one of maybe three Acuras I like. The TL-S is the only really great looking Acura besides the NSX imo. Everything they make seems a little to generic or flimsy. Acura always insists on having that crown line run down the middle. The term beak is basically synonymous with the brand.

The RX hasnt changed much for the past 6 years. The HS looks like a average car.

However, if you look at Acura line up.. damn they ugly...

haven't heard so much people from different forum bash on a particular car brand..their whole line up is just plain ridiculous...

they went from good and aggressive looking (RSX/TL/RL) to alien looking..

But hes saying that the whole Lexus & Infinti lineup look as ugly as Acura. Although they are quite awful looking, Acura is on a ugly league of its own.

It just sounds insane. Honda not giving the HSV-010 GT to consumers must be payback for us not buying the Civic Hybrid.

the displacement on it, is a 3.4 V8 right? Before the economic downfall of 08, it was going to have a 5.0 V10.
