looks like the beak front grille design language is finally getting dropped after 8 years.

2017 Acura MDX Getting Aggressive Look, 2016 New York Auto Show Debut

Looks like a Benz in the making

What I was thinking too... has Mercedes written all over it.

All least they got rid of that stupid chrome beak though.

StylinRed 03-22-2016 07:40 PM

I liked the beak :/

Retrac 03-22-2016 09:14 PM

Didn't the new generation just roll out? Or was that a mid cycle refresh?

SpartanAir 03-22-2016 09:24 PM

Ya I'm so sick of the Acura beak. I've liked most Acuras in the last while, EXCEPT the beak. Just ruins the car.

maybe a beakless NSX will actually look almost like a supercar

PiuYi 03-22-2016 10:43 PM

twitchyzero 03-22-2016 10:48 PM

yeah it's only a few years old...guess it's not selling well...this upcoming one isn't a completely new design.

its a honda pilot

StylinRed 03-23-2016 09:07 AM

wow thats ugly... it's like a mishmash of panels... and the Superman logo with the Captain America/Avengers one ;) merged together just adds to that feel

red_2 03-23-2016 09:25 AM

Still no panoramic roof!

They need to step their game up. A "luxury" suv like this should be standard or atleast have the option

Kasino 03-23-2016 01:00 PM

I never thought one day ill see a emblem bigger than that of a mercedes-benz.

twitchyzero 03-23-2016 11:31 PM

i love what they did with the front signals

and the interior looks Volvo-like...seems like a trend for Japanese interiors at this show (see GT-R)

Yea man. Even the CRV and Nissan rogue have panoramic roof.

flagella 03-24-2016 07:35 AM

The front continues to look messed up. I've lost faith in Honda's design.

is the multimedia unit still mounted in the headliner? that might be why.

Hondaracer 03-24-2016 07:43 PM

whats with Honda going to fucking mini-van designs?

The Pilot used to be KINDA sporty.. kinda.. it still had an SUV image about it.. now it's a fucking mini Van

the MDX was even sportier, more of a luxury feel, competing with the body lines of the GL, X5, etc.

NOW IT"S A FUCKING MINI VAN... :rukidding:

Hehe 03-24-2016 10:23 PM

Wow... am I the only one who wish they had kept the silver beak?

I mean... just when you thought Acura reached the absolute bottom in design with the beak, they replaced it with something uglier...

twitchyzero 03-25-2016 11:52 AM

which is not a bad thing at all
I figured with lexus/acura trying to look sleekier will mean more European cues

meh I don't get the complaints...MDX was never a pretty car to begin with...just a fatter Honda Pilot

Well, it's based on the Odyssey's platform for one... Also, minivan designs are far more family friendly than the traditional SUV. I know the new Pilot is basically just a slightly redesigned Odyssey for people who are too stupid to look past the minivan stigma. And the MDX is basically just the luxury version of the Pilot, so...
