Just in time for Super Bowl Sunday, here’s another Just in time for Super Bowl Sunday, here’s another 2016 throwback.

Jumping on the 2016 trend, we’re throwing it back Jumping on the 2016 trend, we’re throwing it back 10 years to revisit Acura’s model lineup. At the time, it included two SUVs, three sedans, and the NSX—introduced that year as a 2017 model.

It also marked the final appearance of Acura’s full lineup wearing the “power plenum” grille, better known as the “beak,” before the 2017 MDX debuted a refreshed look with the Diamond Pentagon grille.

Love it or hate the grille, it’s hard to ignore how many MDX and TLX from this era I see rolling around every day!
