This looks like a very mild version of the RSX's front styling...less angular, less aggressive. Clearly, it can't pull directly from Acura styling cues: pentagram grill and center ridge along the hood line...

If you squint your eyes you can kind of see it. To me, the way the lower bumper looks gives it away...

It looks like that because they use the same body for the Acura EL, which does have the Acura pentagon grill. Maybe these changes are there so that they can make the EL look more like the RSX.
