I dont know about fit and finish, but Hondas of late have taken a turn for the fugly. Why are they screwing with a winning formula? All the cars are bloated now.

Yeah, I agree with the fugly turn. If I had a chance to buy a new car, I would probably buy a Toyota or something.

^ I wouldn't. They're turning into what Ford and GM were....If I were to buy a new car I'd check out a Fiesta, Mustang 5.0, or a Raptor

They keep only getting the design of their cars half correct. It's like "oh wow that looks nice... except for that ugly part that makes me not want it". They are staying too bland while other manufacturers are making cars with more aggressive styling seemingly influenced by nicer cars like infiniti, mercedes, and lexus. The Acuras used to look nice. Now they look like old people cars rather than sport luxury. I'd rather buy a Lexus IS250 than an Acura TL or TSX, and that's Honda's problem. Even the Hyundai Elantra looks better to me than most of Honda/Acura's current cars, and I hate Hyundais.

Another big problem is the front end on a lot of Honda/Acuras is hideous. What were they thinking on the grille on these Acuras? And why does the trunk look like the grille? Accord grille looks like a truck. Civic doesn't look as good as the 8th gen. And the Accord crosstour designers should resign from their positions.

I'm a little surprised about the CRV though... I like it.

I have a 06 civic si coupe and i think the body is sweet. I only have one problem, the sensor on my cold air intake gets dirt on it and then it restricts the engine so it wont go past 3000 rpms. Electrical cleaner works but not permenent. Any suggestions to fix it......?
