What did Acura do to the front end of the TL-S? I saw earlier pics of the sedan having the coupe front end. I thought to myself, wow that is gonna be one sweet car. I saw the rear, those clear/red lamps are sweet. Then I see what the production TL-S will look like in Car and Driver. They tested a dark blue one and I have to say that the front end is ugly. It looks like the older generation Avalon. The front end styling alone will make me go with the base TL. No CL-S, I don't like the rump

 

The rear of the TL-S is not that bad, but the front end could use more work. The lamps form a partial cirle, adding to that "Avalonesqueness".
