Honda/Acura needs to get serious and offer something along BMW's M or MB's AMG line. Think a true type S or type R auto and then we're talking.

I cant imagine the body panels are all that heavy, still the huge $$$ they charge for something that doesn't increase performance isn't worth squat to most of us.

I like how the RL A-spec looks but not so much the dressed up TL... it just looks too chunky.

Now if Acura could only sell a limited edition run of the Mugen Legend (RL in US) MAX:http://sohc.vtec.net/news_files/319284/mug_lm-05.jpg

Now THAT would be something I would go for.

Thumbs down Re: new RL and TL Aspec concept pics

The TL looks like it hit a wall. That front bumper is ugly! So flat and bulky looking...

The RL is pretty nice IMO.

This would be gorgeous if it weren't for the mesh grilles.

Dave, I actually like the mesh grilles. Its those chrome slats around the A-badge that makes me not like the car so much. That chrome just doesnt make the A-spec look sporty.

I just read about the Modulo Legend in a magazine. Looks pretty much exactly like the A-Spec RL but it might be a little lower.

Anyway, I like the Honda grille MUCH more thaan the Acura piece:

Then again, maybe it the grilles were all black on the Acura version I'd be a little more fond of it...
