#664 of 912 2006 TSX Nav vs 2006 TL NAV by teereeves Sep 22, 2005 (9:24 am)
Can someone explain to me, how Acura can give a better Nav system to the lower price TSX than the higher priced TL for 2006. For 2006 TSX, the optional Acura Navigation System with Voice Recognition(TM) has been enhanced with expanded memory and a faster processor to provide quicker start up and route search times, more points of interest and additional features, including access to the Zagat Survey(TM) Restaurant Guide. This easy to use navigation system features a menu of 560 voice commands, an 8-inch display, a comprehensive destination guide with over 7 million points of interest, 3-D graphics for freeway interchanges including on and off-ramps and turn-by-turn voice guidance. In addition, U.S. cities and street names (1.7 million) may now be accessed through the voice recognition system. For the TL: The Acura Navigation System with Voice Recognition(TM) is available on the TL as a factory-installed option. This easy-to-use navigation system features a menu of 293 voice commands, an 8-inch touch screen display, a comprehensive destination guide with more than 7 million points of interest spanning the continental United States, 3-D graphics for freeway on and off ramps and turn-by-turn voice guidance.

Replying to: carfan3 (Sep 22, 2005 11:11 am) I share this concern. I was going to get a 2006 TL A-Spec but am now thinking I'll get it with A-Spec springs only (lowers the car 1") with rear deck lid but without body mouldings or front spoiler. BTW - What is the new 17" wheel option??
#667 of 912 wtf???? by acurafan21 Sep 22, 2005 (2:52 pm)
Replying to: acura_tl (Sep 21, 2005 6:03 pm) ok first of all i dont know about the rest of you but im wondering what happened to the ALL WHEEL DRIVE system that the new tl was supposed to have? considering everyone was saying that acura said it would have it and why is there still no fold down trunk? why is the hp lower in this tl then in the past ones? like someone else said that the new navigation system in the tsx is better then the tl? my new opion on the tl is why spend the money if people cant have what they want.

Replying to: bodble2 (Sep 22, 2005 8:50 am) What you are hearing is probably that black air dam...and not the painted bumper surface. Not a biggie...no worries. But I would be hesitant in putting any additional spoilers on front....

Replying to: acurafan21 (Sep 22, 2005 2:52 pm) I don't think AWD on the TL was ever any more than an Edmunds board rumor (or wish list). As has oft been mentioned here, an AWD TL would probably badly cannibalize RL sales, not desirable to Acura I'm sure. Rear seats don't fold to enhance structural rigidity, less body flex & better handling. It would be nice, but my skis pass through nicely in the center opening supplied! HP is only lowered on paper, new SAE measurement standard. Theoretically, all HP measured as such will be lower than prior standard. If the TL is the car you want (as it is for me), you will spend the money! And people are, TL is selling quite well. Overall, a great car and value!

#671 of 912 06 TL changes by achadha1 Sep 22, 2005 (7:20 pm)
i am surprised acura hasn't made any changes really to the 06 model. Normally the third year of a MY is where significant additons are added. I guess the 04 TL had so many features other cars in its class didn't have so they decided against changes for the 06. Only thing is they are not staying ahead of other models that are catching up to the TL such as the IS....

Replying to: achadha1 (Sep 22, 2005 7:20 pm) i loved it when i first seen the tl and i thought that they were ahead everyone on the market including more expensive companys like bmw jag and mercedez except for minor diffrences but now they are really startin slip i mean damn the new maximum has the same features and more such as heated steering wheel backseats and it comes with a faster engine and rear shade i dont know about the rest of you but i like extra features in a car atleast nissan knows what people like i seen many forums and if acura started to ask what people want they would of been better off. but without a doubt tl beats it in quality but i still tho acura should of put the super handleing option in the new tl and put those extra features in and boost the hp to 300 while the new rl should of had like 400 to keep up with cadillac and put some extra features in that and they would of been all set and still beat the bigger companys basically i waited a whole year to see what the new one would of had so i guess i wasted a year. i would of paid an extra 4 grand for those things but i guess it will just have to remain in my dreams for now i dont know what i should by or wait til the 07 comes out Replies to this message: ggesq (Sep 23, 2005 6:11 am) goodegg (Sep 23, 2005 6:13 am) priggly (Sep 23, 2005 9:41 am) laurasdada (Sep 23, 2005 10:29 am) taxesquire (Sep 23, 2005 12:38 pm) kirstie_h (Sep 23, 2005 3:24 pm)
