Honda/Acura has a penchant for designing vehicles that are somewhat bland in styling to keep from offending their customers.

Lexus does this ALL THE TIME with their cars. However, their new L-Finesse design philosophy is pretty tasty.

I will admit that there is a lot of hand holding being done by Honda, but they could stand to let Acura designers roam free when it comes to the designs and underpinnings of their vehicles.

BUT....Honda keeps overall design costs low buy using the same or slightly modified frames for their cars. Which might be why we see Honda/Acura as a value brand.
