#1117 of 1531 Re: 09 TL too big, weird front end [ocim] by traumeri Oct 17, 2008 (8:08 pm)
Replying to: ocim (Oct 17, 2008 5:47 pm) You will find a few buried amongst the hate mail.   Had a brief drive last month, overall an upgrade over 08TL. Exterior is better in person than pictures definitely, how much better is another story. Is it great? No. Will it grow on us? Maybe. Size is most noticeable in rear room, trunk design/space is a disappointment...maybe for safety reasons? Turn radius is still big, but handles smaller than size. Acceleration feels solid but not blazing (mid-6s is my guess 0-60). Interior is very nice, the Navi/stereo/dashboard are all thumbs up. Not sure about the seats, will have to go back again. Much better road/wind isolation, the 17" wheels didn't look too small in person. Replies to this message: lax29 (Oct 20, 2008 5:21 am)

Latest issue of Autoweek Magazine tests the 2010 Acura TL SH-AWD 6MT. This was done on test track and compared to other cars in its class. Testers had very positive comments.

However, it appears that all cars are getting bigger these days, perhaps in response to bigger americans preferences and appetites. Bigger, however, will not detract me from considering the 4G if I am in the market. It is more luxurious, high tech, and above all, has AWD that is good for snow and carvy mountain roads. If they put out a hybrid version, that may be even better because I also like environmentally friendly cars, not to mention friendliness with my wallet

I do have an 04 TL and am trying to get to the dealer and drive the 09 as well. Is the turn radius really going to be that noticeable with everyday driving?   I have said it before, the 09 does look better in person. Even my wife likes it. But she always said the 04 TL looked like any other car that Honda makes. By no means is she putting Honda products down, that's all we have driven for years. Think she is just happy to see something that a little more striking to the eye.

Replying to: kennyg8 (Oct 17, 2008 8:00 pm) If you think a Honda/Acura transmission needs to be replaced every 30k miles, you have not driven or owned a Honda/Acura. Honda had real problem with transmission in 2001-2003. 2009 TL looks ugly and too big. I think sales of TL will drop a lot. My girlfriend saw it on the road and think that it is new Saturn model.
