I was looking forward to a pretty wagon. Instead i saw as usual, another product of Honda blind bats.

All the recent Acura models are simply Ogres. They are downright ugly and nasty looking. Take a good look at the recent Acura RDX and you will think it was the Humpback of Notre Dame. The RDX now matches the Pontiac Aztek in 21st century auto ugliness.

The most recent TSX is ugly. It has no personality. Honda should focus on the looks of their cars before they turn out any new models. Maybe they need to send Honda designers for a 2 week course at Infiniti and/or Lexus design school, or wherever their designers go to school.

A car should draw on one's emotions and not kill it.
The Accord Estate is a perfectly fine design, perhaps a bit too inspired in Audi's Avants (like the Insignia Estate) in the back with sound engineering. Perhaps not as involving as a Ford or a BMW, but perfectly competent and compelling.

Acura looks stylistically different with its front treatment vs the Honda I believe. Personally though the newest gen of the Acura all look worse than their immediate predecessor....

The Audi Avant is a looker. In my opinion, its one of the beautiful wagons out there. The Cadiallc CTS wagon, is about to join that unique school of cool looking wagons.

Honda needs to pray to the God's of auto design to save them from themselves. In fact, the 2010 Acura TL's front grill, looks like it needs braces to hold back the teeth (front grill). I honestly feel i could do a better job in designing Honda cars than Honda designers themselves. They need help!
