Not unlike you, I believe the 4G TL is a bit big, and I actually prefer 3G's size and styling more. 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

Thanks for your driving impression. Just curious, what do you currently drive now? 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.

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.

The Saturn looks good.

What do you all think of the huge visor on the dashboard that houses the Navi screen on the 09 TL? Unlike the previous generation TL it doesn't seem to flow with the dash... It kind of sticks out like an after thought...

I liked the placement of the Nav screen on the 09..The entire interior is very well layed out....it's still butt ugly on the outside though...IMHO of course.

The big 'visor' is supposed to provide a shield for the navi and blocks sunlight from striking the navi screen making it hard to read on sunny days. I like the navi in the 3G, which is closer to the driver (but the glare on sunny days is problematic) and the touch screen functionality.
