The Acura Grille / Shield / Beak / Eyesore


Acura's chrome beak - like Ford's razor grille - is a bone of contention for me. It's huge and in your face, yet unattractive and looks a bit like a Parrotfish snout. The Acura Advanced Sedan has the best visage to show this fishy coincidence.

For those who are wondering what the hell I'm talking about, Parrotfish are a species of fish who have fine teeth lining an external jaw bone, giving the appearance of a beak - hence the name.
