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...

Although I am interested in the TL, its size is a bit of a turn-off for me. I hope that Acura will release a TSX Type-S to rectify the major problem with the TSX, namely a lack of power. I would be excited about a TSX with something in the range of 250 hp and SH-AWD.

If you do, then you may face the wrath of some members (albeit only a few) who will accuse you of not offering any useful information.  I made the mistake myself of not realizing that some view this thread as a shrine to the new TL.

To my eyes, the '09 TL's exterior looks more like an evolution of the '99-'03 generation than an evolution of the '04-'08s. However, I don't think the '09 is better looking than the '99-'03s. Busier and different, yes; better looking, not necessarily. In fact, both the '99-'03s and the '04-'08s may withstand the test of time - that is, age better - than the '09-??, but it'll take a long time to find out. It's not uncommon, among classic car buffs, to value older model generations more than newer ones (eg. the 55-'58 Chevys versus, say, the '65-'68s, or the '55-'57 T-birds versus the '65-'67s). Maybe the '09 Tl will grow on me, but it doesn't light my fire right now. I prefer either of the two previous generations, just as I prefer the styling of the the early - mid '90s Maximas to the newer ones. Styling is a personal matter, of course, but does anyone out there agree with me?
