Replying to: bishop4 (Nov 06, 2008 9:56 am) What was your opinion on the 08 TL or was that not even an option for you? I have the 04 TL and do not really see any reason to do the same generation again.   I am also looking at the 09 TL. Nice breakdown of the 2 cars.

Replying to: lax29 (Nov 06, 2008 12:27 pm) The '08 does have some nice features not available on the '04 --- fully automatic headlights, tire pressure monitoring, updated Nav, rear-view camera to name a few. IMO, there may be some justification to upgrading to the Type S, but I know what you mean about ponying up the extra cash to get essentially the same car, albeit a newer version.   On the other hand, if you like the model enough to deem it a "keeper", you may want to get the best version. I had bought the first version of the CR-V when it came out in 1997. And I still lament the fact that I didn't upgrade to the 1999-2001 version after they tweaked it with more power, etc., because if I had, I liked the vehicle enough that I probably would have hung on to it and passed it down to my kids, and/or as a foul-weather runabout.

Replying to: bishop4 (Nov 06, 2008 9:56 am) Bishop4, did u look at the G35 or G37? That to me is the closest competition. Replies to this message: bishop4 (Nov 07, 2008 9:53 am)

Replying to: lax29 (Nov 06, 2008 12:27 pm) I have had an 05 TL since November 04 and love it. I am in he process of getting rid of it and talked to Acura about the 09s. They were trying to get me into an 08 TL because of the discounts but, like you, the idea of driving the same car for another 3 years didn't excite me.   What i did find was that the 08 was much improved from 05. Quieter and smoother being the biggest differences. So I wouldn't be driving the same car as i had been.   I drove the 09 and that improvement was even more noticeable over the 08 and it feels like i am driving a completely new car.   We'll see if the numbers work out when it comes time to pull the trigger. BWM is giving 08s away at great rates although I liked the TL better.

Replying to: traumeri (Nov 06, 2008 7:05 pm) I used to own an '04 G35x and while it was a great handling car it rattled like crazy and the dealer could never fix it. I know the new G37 is a different car but I didn't want to chance it. IMO you take the handling of the G and put it with the quality of the ES350 interior and wrap it in a fresh exterior and you get the TL.
#1202 of 1532 New TL Tech Pkg by wloven Nov 07, 2008 (9:54 pm)
Hello: I have been driving my '09 TL with Tech package for a week. Trade up from an '07. I have to say it is really an awesome and awe-inspiring car. Yes, it's all techno-geeked up, but that's one of the things I really like about it. Second, the Ipod connection is the best in class, period. It really rocks through the 10 speaker 440W system - though fresh ripped CDs right to the hard are at a level of incredible crystal clarity. Third, my car is my mobile office and the cell phone blue tooth telephony system is heaven sent. No more squinting at my Blackberry trying to voice dial a number in bumper traffic going 75! Scrolling through address book so fast, that it makes voice dialing ala the '07 TL feel positively ancient.   I like that Acura softened up the ride, quieted the cabin somewhat, and switched tires. I only have 750 miles on it and I am already getting 27.5 mpg on the highway and 20+ around town.   Wishes: 1) Power rear sunshade and manual sides shades (Acura's pretty dumb to hold these back on a $40K vehicle.) 2) Heated & Cooled Ventilated Seats - at least for the front. Acura are you listing?   wlovenaustin.rr.com Replies to this message: sweendogy (Nov 08, 2008 9:59 am) mrsatisfaction (Nov 08, 2008 10:22 am) bodble2 (Nov 08, 2008 3:10 pm)

Replying to: wloven (Nov 07, 2008 9:54 pm) congrats on the new TL --and your mpgs are terriffic.. I agree with you on the wishes for this car but let me add a couple more-- rear bias (instead of fwd), better weight distribution (rear bias would help), and the most important thing bring back the old front end -or change it quickly --car not flattering from the front.

Replying to: wloven (Nov 07, 2008 9:54 pm) I agree with you. Not only is it a great car, but its functionality is second to none.   There is no other luxury car out there that is intriguing as the all new TL.   For sweendogy, I will do my best to take a picture for you of a 2009 TL with a color-matched grille.

Replying to: mrsatisfaction (Nov 08, 2008 10:22 am) Well, thank you so very much for that completely unbiased endorsement. I'm completely sold on the TL now. Send me your business card so I can put my order for 6, mrsalesman.
