Hopefuly its just the camo, but all of these cars (Accord, RLX, TL) are starting to look the same to me.

On one hand it looks like Honda is playing it safe on the styling and they all look good. On the other hand I cannot help but wonder if Honda is going down the same road that has repeatedly got them into trouble in the past.

I will say there is definately an improvement in Honda's recent efforts as I have gone from a "Hater" to cautiously optimistic....

I agree. What is with this paisely monotone paint scheme they've come up with?

When was the time Honda/Acura cars looked the same? I cannot remember. You may not like the design family and that is a personal taste issue but your argument is about across lineup/brand similarity and it is just flat out inaccurate.

Starting to?


No offense, but all the cars on this platform technically are the same car. As I learned, most people can't tell the difference between a current TSX, TL or RL. :(

Take the badges off and I wouldn't be one bit surprised if you could include Accord with all of those.

Acura needs its own stinking car platform already. These Acuras all come off as being half-hearted warmed-over Accords. I love me some Accord, but seriously this badge engineering was the end of Pontiac and Mercury.
