that is definitely it I think.
Look at the wheels in the TOV pic and the wheel in that pic as well. Though I don't think the side shots give it enough depth, there's a good chance of success here!

you're right, I noticed those and erased my comment from the message body but forgot to correct the subject.
I hope the headlights look more like the TL/TSX than ILX/RDX!
in one of the photos Jeff posted, it looks like I will not be disappointed.

Huge rear overhang though! Couldn't they stretched the wheelbase? Maybe it is just the camera angle.

I fear the rear overhang, but you know how these side profile shots are in most cases anyways. Most people never look at their cars from such a dead end angle.
I'm VERY curious about the front and the back, these parts I feel will make or break this car. The current RL back was very well done I thought, I hope they take it a step further. The front based off of what I can see if already better imo lol

I hope no RLX owners get the comment, "Hey, nice Kia!"
Hasn't this car already come out in about 5 different flavors? Has Acura given up on originality? The only thing "Acura" is the grille, and no one likes the grille.

The rear section reminds me of the lexus LS... I guess it's the taillights shape wrapping around and decklid.

well since we're playing that game...
And we all know these cars look nothing alike based on any other angles, so I don't think it's fair to use just a sideview shot. NO DEPTH.

^Agreed. These Acura PR shots are so "depthless" that it's sometimes impossible to tell what's really going on.
As always, these first-impression shots leave a lot to be desired and in a lot of cases can be an instant turn-off.

wow, that lexus is gorgeous even in that angle.
I hope the RLX can at least be visible among the competition now. The new 5 series also has catchy styling, even the large hyundais.
If the styling is so plain that it overshadows any good tech like it did with SH-AWD then it will be another sales flop like the last one.

The RLX rims are awful (if the above pic is accurate) - they look so aftermarket.
I agree, the Lexus above is fantastic.

The only thing of similarity between the Kia and the Acura is the rear door shape, something that seems to be prevalent among cars this size anyways.
They Kia looks more like a 7 series though...
