I know this doesn't have much to do with NSXs, but just wanted to share with y'all. As an Acura aficionado, I wasn't sure what to make of the new styling but looks like they put the integra, prelude, & the accord in a blender and mixed it in high speed and out came the result. I think I like the new design, but the interior looks cheap.

I like the overall shape, except perhaps for the grill. The interior looks about right for a car of this class to me. The seats are pretty cool; hope they keep them.

The rear is ugly.

I like the S2000ish interior! If they keep those recaro seats in there, imagine how many kids will buy the car just for them?!

If this is the current trend in automotive design, I'm really scared to see what the next-gen NSX will look like (again, this is why I bought a 2000 NSX).

These large angular headlights have to go. The Celica is still uglier, but the RSX isn't much better. That said, I do like the S2000's...but that is the ONLY car with similar headlights that I have found appealing.

And I don't like this center sharp crease thing Acura has going with the CL, MDX, and RSX.

Not slamming American designers, but all the ugly Japanese cars are usually US-only cars that are designed by American designers. Say, Acura CL, RsX, Nissan maxima, Mitsubishi eclipse, Honda Accord(the euro and JDM version are much much better looking).

They better do the next NSX design in house.

It's alright. I thought the previous generation was very ugly and I kinda just grew to appreciate it. Or perhaps I just respected the Integra's performance and that influenced my affection for it's appearance. I'm sure most will grow to like this one too.

PS-The interior is pretty sweet.

Sorry I hate to say it but it's ugly. It's like someone has this bug about how every Acura front end needs to have that grill. The back looks like a baby legend. The front lights are cool. The other thing I don't like is it's too tall or thick. It's not sleek.
