The TL will get a more powerful V6 and SH-AWD about the same time. It might get a V8 sometime after that. The TSX gets SH-AWD around the same time and maybe the turbo 4 cylinder out of the RDX. There will also be a TSX coupe to replace the RSX. If all that happens Audi better watch out. |

I'm absolutley loving my 07 G and wouldn't change my mind and go back for an 07 TL for anything... but with that being said... I can't wait to see what the 09 brings. The TL vs G decision was a very hard one to make. With everything rumor added into the 09, it'd be a no-brainer.

Replying to: scottm123 (Aug 06, 2007 12:08 pm) did you have a TL before your G? What are the best and worst aspects of your G? When I test drove a G back to back with a TL in 2004 the G bested the TL in handling but the TL won in everything else (comfort, technology, etc ...). That is why I am driving a TL now but might make the switch in October to a G35x depending on my test drive. Thanks for any info you can provide. |

Replying to: slzweibel (Aug 06, 2007 1:13 pm) Interior styling is subjective so we may not agree, but I personally gave the G the edge here. The G also offered WAY more technology and I love the Nav interface, although it is partially locked while the car is in motion. Once you get to know the car's language, pretty much everything is accessable through voice commands... but it's not like our 06 MDX. It is just as easy to use though. In fact, with our MDX, little things like changing the resolution or brightness require menus to be drilled down 4 or 5 levels. Everything is one touch in the G... nice interface. Although I am a gadget nut, the bottom line for me was the ride, the power, the handling and most of all, just how it made me feel. I care nothing about car magazine reviews or other people's opinions. I was dropping a $35,000 deposit on this car and I wanted what made me happiest, and cared nothing for what others thought. You need to do the same. After buying our MDX last year, Acura knew I was in the market for my car as well, and REALLY pushed the TL. I was given an 07 TL on 6 occasions, 2 of them being Type-S's. All were loaned out for the day so I had 6 chances to get to know the car on my 50 mile commute to work. After 6 rides, quite frankly, I was bored. After driving the G, I felt what the TL was missing. There's a Luxury feel that the TL missed, and the ride/power/handling was spot on. I love my G and would do it again in a second, worth every cent too. With that being said, I'm keeping one eye on Acura and the new TL. 2009 should be something and let the first to have it's work out the bugs. I'll be in line for an 2010 or 2011, if the G novelty ever wears off.  07 G35x - Prem/Nav/Tech/Rosewood - Blue Slate on Graphite See mycarspace page for pics.

Replying to: british_rover (Aug 06, 2007 12:05 pm) The Accord's redesign will be launched next MY. Staying with the 5 year plan, and the "spy shots" beginning to emerge from secret testing, '09 will be the year for the new TL. I've mentioned before, a TL with ~300 HP and SH AWD, a little tweaking on the style side, keeping the feature content and build of the current vehicle, I may very well be a buyer after my 3 series warranty is up (about the same time the '09 TL will come out), especially if it stays very near what the current TL sells for. I can see a Type-S version with a V8. I wonder if the TSX will get the V6 that's going into the Accord? |
