Nice review and pictures, thanks for sharing! pretty sure EL34 will deboost me with all his fake accounts. but i gonna have say Acura / Honda doesn't normally fail on the engineering part (except their first few auto-trans, but they get it a 100k transferable warranty and free fix). they fail on the styling and commercial, but rarely on the engineering aspect. much like Agent 00J, i was turned off by the looks. however, i test drove one and i was impressed by the refined interior and noise control. had they fixed the styling problem, this car could be a serious contender.
