One word, Horrendous.  What were the sales figures for Acura last month?  -45%  ;)

Clearly a cohesive entry maintaining faithful adherence to Acura's contemporary design language of extreme fugliness.

The article is a bit of a head-scratcher... the author points out all sorts of problems/issues with this thing then at the end says he thinks it will succeed. The Honda cult strikes again... one can only imagine the screams of anguish and cries of derision if this had a GM or Ford badge affixed.
