2009 Acura TL -Official Pic

New 09 Acura TL is coming this fall. Look pretty radical for Acura.

It will have SH-AWD. I can't wait to see one in person.

Seriously, it looks like a GS. I just showed my dad and he agrees.

I know Acura's aimin' for that luxury Euro car thing of using the same grill on all the cars, but the one Acura chose is just straight ugly. It's a shame considering the Acura "A" emblem is sick.

i actually like it. the wheel desgin is very nice.

there is nothing wrong with emulating european style. the only very 'japanese' looking cars that also rub me the right way are cars like our fits and old school hondas and such. the euro look is great. this is much better than the tsx.


it seems that acura is going the audi route with its cars: either fwd or awd, which to me is awesome. i can't wait to find out what enigne its going to get!

i've seen this in person. There is an elderly lady (mid 50's) that lives 1 street away from me that rocks it in a siick charcoal color. She's had it for 2 months now. It looks MUUUUCHH better in person then in the pictures.

How is this possible when the new 09 TL isn't scheduled to launch until this fall (October)?

I saw one of those the other day! I knew it wasn't a TSX because of the grill, so I was confused...until now! =)

To answer your question...no.
Everything is sourced out for cheaper labor n parts. How do I know...cause I manufacture a product overseas n it's all about the cheaper rate. Currently most large manufactures are sourcing out to other countries besides China n Japan or are in the process of moving there facilities to third world countries.

Most of those guys live in LA, most new cars are road tested in LA and San Diego. I was in LA and saw a GTR cruising on the freeway.
