Don't know if anyone has noticed, but the Acura website has now renamed the TL section as the 2008 TL. As far as I can see, there is no difference from when the model was called the 2007 TL. For 2009 it would be good if there were more positions for the passenger seat, extensions for the sunvisors, compass in the rearview mirror (even on navigation models) and options for a rear window sunshade, folding rear seat and SH-AWD. Also, on none "S" models, some chrome trim around the windows would help brighten the car. Just my opinion. Oviously, one could wish for more but then the car just becomes another RL.

Replying to: eg424 (Jul 14, 2007 11:08 pm) Acura can make something along this lines but I'd rather keep the current TL's rearview monitor and add other luxury features like Push Button Start/keyless go(come on, its on the 14k versa.... Borrow it from the S2k!), cooled seats/glovebox/armrest, and sunshades. I think the passat is a competitor to the TL now because it offers strong performance(280hp), equal or more features, similar space, and similar MPG. -Cj |

Replying to: benjb53 (Jul 17, 2007 2:21 pm) I do believe they renamed carbon grey pearl to polished metal metallic. Looks the same to me. You know what they say, a rose by any other name..... |

What are the changes besides color? Anybody know yet? I am debating on trading my 2007 in for a new 2009 if its that much better!!!

Replying to: benjb53 (Jul 19, 2007 2:03 pm) Still haven't come close to the answer of my TL vs TSX thing. IMO the TL's stats are so similar to my current car its scary. Accord v6 vs TSX vS TL 170hp vs 205hp vs 258hp 164lb ft vs 165lb ft vs 233lb ft 13cuft in all (< with navi) 19/25 vs 21/32 vs 21/29 all AT My biggest gripe on the TSX is gearing and overall space and the TL is the non-folding rear seat and mpg (offered on tsx and accord) It really is hard to choose between 3cars from the same overall company. All the specs are so similar... -Cj

Replying to: autoboy16 (Jul 20, 2007 10:05 am) Are you drunk? What, pray tell, is so similar about the specs you are quoting? Assuming they are correct, the TL has 50% more horsepower than the Accord, 25% more than the TSX and 45% more torque than either. And, once again, find yourself a beater car with a manual transmission (or better yet a friend with one you can borrow), and LEARN HOW TO DRIVE A STICK. It's an embarassment that someone your age, obviously interested in cars, is looking only at slushboxes. My 9 year old daughter knows better. |

Replying to: autoboy16 (Jul 20, 2007 10:05 am)  is missing from the last post. Don't take the "are you drunk?" question seriously. But please do give consideration to learning to drive a stick. The difference between the TL 6-speed and automatic is well worth it.
