But the grille still is horrid. It seems the next gen Acura's will be carrying this on every model. It doesn't look as bad on the TSX, but still pretty gross. The rest of the car looks promising though.

Way better than the RL, but grill still has to go.

Agree. I think Honda is good at a certain price point. The TSX is a nice Accord. The RL just try to be too many things that it's not.

What's up with the "brick wall" effect on the grille, particularly the lower one? Somebody at Honda has has some gooood drugs here lately.

One reason I hate the fact that our sedans have gotten so bulky and huge cause as an Accord it would be a nice update. They should have made the new Accord based off the lines of this one instead of what we got.

Yeah, even though they are the same thing, I like the Accord better. That Acura grille has to go!

Saw the commercial for the Astra....looks good I am gonna have to see one up close. Do you think they will make a Redline edition?

that thing would be sweet with the new cobalt ss/ion redline turbo engine, or even the old sc one...

The Astra will have a Redline version. I saw an ad for both the Redline Astra and Redline VUE in this months Motor Trend. Both awesome looking cars. The Astra will be getting the same turbo engine that is going into the new Cobalt SS. Just like the ION Redline had. The car goes for 15-19k currently so expect say around 20-22 for the Redline. Well worth it IMO.Saw a 5 door version at my local dealer last night driving down the road, I like the 3 door better.
