Replying to: bvdj84 (Nov 28, 2008 7:20 am) It seems that the TSX will be receiving the V6 by 2010. Hopefully, it will also receive AWD because I also prefer the styling and size of the TSX to those of the TL.   I finally saw the TL in person a few days ago. I don't think the styling is terrible, but it could be improved tremendously if Acura toned down the chrome part on the front to look more like the front of the TSX.
#1270 of 1532 Cargo Net by drmike29 Dec 01, 2008 (11:18 am)
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

How are the seats in 2009 TL, I drove the TSX and very unconfortable seats perticulary the lumbar support area.

Replying to: tlong (Nov 26, 2008 9:15 am) I am a long time lover of Acuras. Have owned the '89 Integra, '94 Legend and still own '06 TL. All were great cars both in terms of looks, performance and quality. I was waiting on the '09 TL for my next purchase. Then I saw it at the dealership and my plans immediately changed. Don't get me wrong, the cars interior is beautiful and it has lots of bells and whistles--SH-AWD should be interesting. That said, to my eye the exterior is just awful. I kept wanting to like it but realized it kept reminding my of a sedan version of the Pontiac Aztek. I still love the look of my wife's '06 TL. Acura blew it on this one and I believe it will cost them sales of their highest volume vehicle. I went out and bought the Infiniti G35X because I realized I would never come to like the look of the '09 TL. Replies to this message: chucko3 (Dec 11, 2008 7:54 pm) jeffxp (Dec 13, 2008 10:03 pm)

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 true test of whether a car has good styling is if it looks good in base form, not after you're modded it with spoilers, spats, body kits, skirts, aprons, bra, etc, etc. 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......
#1275 of 1532 Acura TL 09 and Acura TSX 09 by aries1 Dec 10, 2008 (2:11 pm)
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).

Replying to: ftam (Dec 09, 2008 8:24 pm) They just kill the TL with its exterior design!! If you want an amour car, this is it.

Replying to: toyoman8 (Dec 10, 2008 1:19 pm) Wow! See that would look really good!! If they painted the grill like wing thing black, on a black car would look really hot. I think if they made the shield grill lower in the front, and shrunk its size, it would appeal better, I think they should have played around with the design of that before setting it there.   It is similar to the Toyota camry grill, if they lowered the toyota logo down in the grill, and perhaps shrunk the grill a bit, it would look less awkward.   You know, it is the small details that make a big difference. But, in the TL case, the grill is a big deal. It can really go good or bad when it comes its looks. Seriously, make the wing on the grill smaller, if you look at the pics you'll see what I mean, it would look really hot! With it painted dark, I am sure it looks awesome.    I really like the futuristic approach on the cars though, I will give them that, I would totally own one in Black with the chrome rims, tinted windows. Perhaps get the grill painted black. Of course professionally, tastefully done.... oh no, there is spray paint on sale at Wal-Mart. lol...hmmm..   I prefer the looks of the TSX! I think that car would look good in RED.

Replying to: ftam (Dec 09, 2008 8:24 pm) Just wait awhile....It'll grab you...more and more as time goes by....You'll be back to the dealership...   The way it rides is beautiful, powerful, luxurious and the sound systems is a couple of steps above the last generation.   But then again, that's why we have choices, if you like Infinity this time around that's fine too....enjoy your ride.
