Replying to: bodble2 (Nov 26, 2008 1:43 pm) I think a few will look more at the TSX, sacrificing the engine power for better size, and looks. The TSX offers a bit more bang for the buck. The TL sets you back alot. Worth it? I am sure it is, but if you can get the same feel in the TSX, why go any higher. The issue is, that the previous TL was so classy, a design that aged very well. Acura really stepped outside the box on the new TL, other companys are doing this too in their designs. I applaud Acura for doing so. I wish they put more inspiration into the new Accord! Putting the Accord coupe looks into it. I do plan on test driving both the TSX and the TL very soon. I do not plan leasing the TL, but to feel the comparison would be nice. However, the TSX is looking to be a better deal than the Accord. Dealer is 1 hour away, I need to plan on doing this soon!

Has anyone here who has purchased a 2009 TL gotten the cargo nets? I purchased a TL with Tech Package last month and was told that the cargo nets were not yet available. Seems strange to me. Mike |

lol, in my dealership they have TSX and TL and both cars have different body kits: maan both of those cars look hot. The body kit consists of rear bumper, ground effects, front bumper and nice rims and they painted the front shiny grille to black. I am telling you it looks hot.

Replying to: toyoman8 (Dec 10, 2008 1:19 pm) The TSX has decent, modern styling, but lets face it, the base TL is a bloated, fugly thing. Doesn't it tell you something if your dealer is putting body kits on, and painting the front grill??!. Do you need any more clues to realize that the car is not looking so hot coming out of the factory? Well, you're a salesman, so...... |

I have managed to drive both (each with a tech. package). TL is simply unbelievable. Very much more upscale in comparison with my old 07 TL. Totally different drive. I have several "Wow" comments from people. It drives very close to Lexus. It all depends of your taste of course. The screen of navigation system is LCD and is extremely bright no matter what. Very easy to download a phone book and very easy to dial. The main knob is easy to use after 10 minutes of learning. I have a Xzelion coating put on a car so I've received a 09 TSX with tech. package as a loaner. It is very close to the old TL, but you feel the engine noise once in a while. Navigation screen is a complete disaster. If sun is on, the screen is almost 100% unreadable due to a glare. If there is no sun, but just blue sky, you can see back frame and blue sky glare on a screen. This is a big turn off of TSX. It has to corrected ASAP. So far I love the TL. They have my old car and new car lined up and the difference was quite striking. In my opinion, the new TL is simply in a different category (more upscale). |
