Not all the new vehicles have been revealed yet, but I bet when all the debuts are over, this Acura Advanced Sedan concept will be a strong contender for the LA auto show's "Most Startling" award.
Having a design background, I'm often reluctant to dis radical new designs, regardless of how far the designers may have gone. One thing to keep in mind is that concept cars almost always take new design directions to an extreme, so this is Acura is nothing new in that respect.
In any event, I will take my time and study this car, as it surely hints at some future design direction that Acura is considering...
Between this, the new Euro-Civic, and a few others, it's pretty clear that the Honda/Acura design team has some pretty creative people on board—and that's always good news!

Kinda like a CTS/Crossfire mix with a Camry trunk.
I'm trying to say something nice, but I feel like I'm at the grand opening for the Aztek when I see this.

Rear and side views I can take, but that front end is just plain weird.

Too bizarre, and I realize they're trying to get attention but there are just too many features in the look.
I could deal with the smiling grille if it didn't have a tongue sticking out of it.
The headlights are way too low.
Profile isn't any better. The front looks blocky, and the greenhouse just looks like it's placed too far back.
I actually like the rear, minus that rat tail they had to tack on there. Why? It's totally unnecessary.
I think a few minor changes and this would actually look edgy. As it is, it's just trying too hard.
