Replying to: cecilt1 (Oct 15, 2008 6:31 pm) I think it's safe to assume that a large percentage of people who purchase '09 TL's will go for the FWD model because they don't need the features provided by the more expensive AWD model. That would mean that the majority of TL owners will end up with an automobile designed for a minority of buyers. They will have a car that has grown considerably larger and get very little or no benefit from that increase in overall size. Such a concept may seem to make sense to Acura but it makes no sense at all to me.

Replying to: kennyg8 (Oct 16, 2008 4:16 pm) I didn't imply that. I just found it perplexing that Acura had to increase the size of the car just to implement an AWD system, if that is indeed the reason for the increase in exterior dimensions. |

| Going back several messages, there was a discussion about the relative size of the '99-'03 generation TL compared to the next one, and the point was made in a few messages that the '04-'08 was smaller than the precious generation. Well, yes and no; while the ''04-'08s are indeed shorter, they're also wider than the '99-'03s. The '09 is bigger (longer, wider and heavier) than both previous generations. For this reason, I'd choose a '09 3-Series or A4 to replace our '99 TL. | |
