Why is it that HMC can nail the grill in the Fit while AHM sort of messes around with the Accord and completely screws up the Acuras?

Are you sure Honda of Japan didn't design the Accord?

The Fit grille looks great, but I might add this "JDM" strip of chrome, which I think looks neat:



As much as I like the style, have you seen an up-close view of the Fit grille? I can imagine spending every other day picking bugs out of it with a toothpick for hours:

Not our Accord. JDM Accord.

I tend to prefer the plain egg crate grill. The understated chrome looks nice too.... perhaps they can do that in the "Acura Jazz" if Acura design ever comes to its senses...

And, since I live in SoCal, bugs are not a problem. I figure a pressure wash would take care of them.

At least, you'll get the bugs on the grill instead of the radiator.
