The Automobiliac Proposes Vol. # 3: Acura ZDX
Tuesday, August 17, 2010 at 9:34PM I saw the new Acura ZDX on the street last month and I have to say they did a really nice job with it. I think the surfacing is lovely, and the front end design is quite fetchingly proportioned. While the Acura sedan offerings have gotten increasingly aggressive and brutal lately, this car has a really pleasing, lyrical flow to it. The only problem with it is that it is not a car -- it's a stupid car-based SUV "crossover" mutant. Basically, I wanted to see what would happen if someone took the best elements from the ZDX and made a really sweet grand touring 2+2 with them, along the lines of the Aston Martin Rapide. I hope you enjoy the result! Acura, stop with the mutant crossovers! Get back to making really nice sport sedans like the original TL!

HAHA! holy crap! i have to say i am not a fan of the RDX or any Acura for that matter.........BUT holy crap that squashed version looks fantastic! good eye, man!
They both look like an angry appliance with an underbite.
Watch your fingers!
That grille still needs some work.
Fire the designers. Re-hire the guys who did the S600, Z600, CRX and NSX, and S2000 then make this car RWD with a torquey motor.
And fire the guy who did the front end silver plastic shit.
My god what an ugly car (before), jeez you get some disgusting cars in the states. I do like the 'after' though, with a different front-end it would be a great looking car. I like the rear end, reminiscent of a Renault-Alpine. And it used to be fun noting when manufacturers copied the rear door handle of the Alfa 156, nowadays i just wonder if it will ever stop being copied.
