2009 Honda Legend reveals de-shielded Acura RL

[mikeyb]

Wow the JDM version looks alot better.....

 

[NCZ13]

if i ever bought the RL, the first thing id get is the JDM grille

 

[InFlames]

yea, that acura grill is terrible.

 

[mountjonas]

i don't understand how anyone looked at the acura grille and said "yeah! perfect!"

 

[Roywhitep5]

"why its so ugly it just might work!"

 

[fishdonotbounce]

Wow it's kind of like the TL threw up after a long night of partying.

yeesh.. what a mug.. the nose job on the honda looks better.

I agree, the new Acura "shield" is not a pleasing element. Speaking of which, every time I look at the Honda Pilot and Element front I think of a BBQ gas burner. Just add some holes in it and fire up some gas for a good time.

 

[genericuser]

You know, I thought the same exact thing. Hook some propane up, grab the bratwursts and have a field day.

 

[TinmanMS6]

I'd certainly replace the grille, but the JDM version leaves something to be desired too. I wonder if the old RL front end will fit the new one. They broke what was a fine looking, if unremarkable car.

Pass on the RL completely and get a G.

A G what? Infiniti or Lexus?

I cringe at the thought of "Legend" being applied to that car.

Even 13 years later, this still looks great IMO. FWD ftl, but still an excellent car.

A G what? Infiniti or Lexus?

G35.

 

[mikeyb]

G35.

They are not even in the same class. hehe...The G35 is now the G37 because it gets the 3.7L 330hp 6 from the coupe.

classic shape. They should have refined it, instead, they went the way of BMW. It's ugly as sin, but badge snobs won't care.
