Although the 2009 Toyota Venza is a product of the same Calty design studios that brought you the FJ Cruiser, it's not retro and it won't appeal to 20-year-olds.
Toyota finally answered to my prayer! I can't wait to get this crossover.
My wife and I have 2 4runners both V8. Due to high cost of fuel, I'm going
to trade them for venza.
I don't get why people keeping "bring back RSX". Dude the RSX got replaced
by the TSX. RSX is gone, deal with it. If you want it so much, buy it used
simple, or just stfu about the RSX. The ZDX is going to be a be good
competition for the X6 and FX, because since its a newer model. Acura has
the clear advantage to make the car better, and the car don't look ugly.
The front actually looks pretty nice, I'm liking how it looks like on the
front bumper.
Well I'll agree with you that the Acura RSX interview was kinda cheap. I
been in one, and when I was in the car the material seem cheap. The dash,
gauges and etc... were not made with good material. I won't agree with you
on the SI replacing the RSX because even though Honda and Acura are the
same. I don't think a Honda car can replace a Acura car. Also no proof, I
know I don't got proof either, but that was just my opinion what replaced
the RSX.
Acura's glory days were back when they had Integra, Legend, Vigor/2.5 and
3.2 TL, and NSX....1992-1996. The 96 RL was a bad car. Anyway...those were
all Japanese built and they used substance coupled with good conservative
yet stylish design to sell. These cars they have now are just plain ugly.
Tacking on a wedge shape hunk of plastic in the front and calling it a
grille? WTF?
Actually the RSX got replaced by the Civic Si. I liked the RSX. I used to
want one back before it was discontinued. I eventually test drove one and
wasn't impressed by the interior. It was so different and low end compared
to the other Acuras which is probably why Acura discontinued it. I
eventually ended up getting a Scion tC.
RSX was aimed at high school to 20somethings. Honda wanted the Acura
division to be more upscale and not attract younger buyers. I think this is
why the TSX was never configured in coupe form. They would have had a hot
seller but it would have taken sales from Honda civic Si and Accord 4 cly
coupes.
i hate this car so far. it looks Ultra-Modern ( which i hate for the most
part) and i hate the new acura grille's there disgusting looking ,but most
importantly i hate the idea of a coupe like cross over a coupe and a Cross
over are to geneticlly different to combine together.
The rear of the car doesn't match with the front whatsoever. I don't really
care for crossovers, but when they're more on the car side of the spectrum,
I like them. Acura finally decided to catch on to the genius idea of BMW's
X6.
WOW a Prius with a pinched nose!! I thought only electric cars were
mandated to be that ugly. I like Coupe/Suv crossovers but Acura got it
wrong worse than BMW. GOOGLE: 2003 dodge avenger concept if you want to see
it done right.^
I love it!! Only the MDX and the ZDX look good with that grill. That is SOO
my car! Don't know if I want an Accord Coupe or that. Acura needs to get
rid of their grill on the rest of their lineup though. KUDOS TO ACURA ON
THIS!!
Honda execs often referred to the TL's grille as the "RoboCop" grille.
Acura is going for the tech savvy alternative type driver, who doesnt want
the typical Bimmer or Benz.
The front grille actually surprisingly for the first time looks good on ZDX
then on the 09 TL. Its kinda futuristic and suits this vehicle then the
sedan.
