Could you link us to that forum? I really doubt it would be 2014. Way too far away. Delayed until 2012 maybe.
 
Can absolutely believe 3.6, most likely with a turbo or charger. Already on the shelf 6 years ago. Was a possible engine for a LaCrosse Super before they went cheap and went with the already developed V8.

It would make sense to delay and use the Volt technology on some all new design. Using a carbon fiber body would reduce weight a lot too.

You wanna see a REALLY UGLY grille? Take a look at the latest Acura TL. Even my co-worker who is a rabid Honda fanatic can't stand it.

Absolutely agree! The poster on the Acura TL forum are sick over it!

Yeah, add me to the list. Did the Acura designers see the movie, "Transformers" one too many times? Or maybe "Gladiator..."
 
I drive by an Acura dealer every night, see '09 RLs and TSX with the "Beak of Aluminum," pointing my way. Just not a good look.

It doesn't look that bad to me, but I don't see the problem with the 59 Cadillac either, so what do I know. What I do know is that for some reason the big grill is or was in, so Honda is only getting there late. Perhaps styling is now beginning to shift

Probably you are correct. There was a big deal regarding the coice of the Genesis grill also. The chosen design works for me. Actually, Hyundai will grow in the luxo car market if they don't get aggressive (read:GREED) with price on the Genesis.
 
I think Acura and Honda areis loosing it! Look at the Accord. It's huge! What gives?

Sooner or later, some auto mag will do a "Seperated at Birth" photo: Genesis grill and Mr. Worf's forehead (from Star Trek: TNG)!
 
I'm not a fan of big grills, and the Acura Can Opener look still isn't growing on me. Audi's horseshoe grilles seem to be better integrated with each new model, but I'm still a less is more kinda guy... If only that were true for my bank account...
