The Automobiliac Proposes Vol. # 3: Acura ZDX

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!
