Acura RLX Design

The grille is huge, but nobody's complaining about it the way they did on the 4G TL because the RLX is wide enough to be able to carry it off.

I think it's a handsome car, but not beautiful in an eye catching way.

You'll learn to love the looks of the car because the whole package just...works.

It doesn't stand out when you look at it. Its impressiveness is in the everyday operation, to me, anyway.

"The rear end is out of sync with the front."

"I don't like the way the lines flow on the sides. It doesn't match the two ends."

Blah blah blah.... LOL.... It just works. It's handsome. Not in an eye catching way, just handsome.

They probably over reacted to the criticism of the 4G TL. I had a 4G TL 6-6 SH-AWD and it was an awesome car. 86,000 trouble free miles before I got rid of it to get this RLX. It was a great car, no matter what it looked like!

I'm sure they've done as good a job with the RLX. I'm fully confident in Acura's common sense performance, common sense luxury and common sense decisions they make with what to put in a car, and I'm really a lot less interested in what the car looks like.

Like I said about the 4G TL, "You don't care what the car looks like when you're powering out of Oak Tree."
