Acura Wins the Ugly Stick Award
2009 Acura TL
Seriously, I’m not sure what Acura was trying to accomplish here, but this can only be described as an Epic Fail. It’s as though they tried so hard to differentiate the look of the TL from the car on which it’s based, the Honda Accord, that they vastly overcompensated. This doesn’t just look unlike a Honda Accord, it looks unlike anything you’d ever be caught dead standing next to, let alone driving.
Until I see worse — and I probably will, at some point — the TL wins Chief Oddball’s Ugliest New Car of 2009 award. By a frickin’ landslide.

If you want to see beautiful, you should be watching the Dream Cruise special - the new Corvette (with see-through hood scoops) and the new Camaro!!! (Your dad says you don’t like it - but I do
especially in candy apple red!!
Actually, the more I see of the new Camaro, the more I like it. I’m still not too crazy about the rear end, but I’m impressed — they even made the base V6 model (with the RS package) look really good. And that red is absolutely fantastic on it, not too much purple in it.
The Corvette with the “hood window” is the new ZR-1. Over $100,000 for that bad boy, but it’ll smoke just about anything!
