#1480 of 1532 Comments on '09 TL by m6user Aug 23, 2009 (3:05 pm)
A couple of comments and a question on the new TL. I was loitering on dealer lots this weekend and noticed the TL seems to be very, very low in front. Have any current owners had trouble backing out of sloped drives or hitting/scraping curbs?   Re: the beak, shield, cowcatcher, proboscis or whatever the most recent derogatory remark about the front facia is. I think the problem is the plastic material its made of makes it look cheap and because it's so large it makes it look that much cheaper. If it was a nice metal chrome I think it would be a lot better looking. I tried to picture it in body color and that may help some but I think chrome would be classier.

Replying to: m6user (Aug 23, 2009 3:05 pm) I have hit only on extreme transitions. No worse than any normal car. there is a street in Hastings, NY that is so steep at at intersection I have to go into the left lane where the angle is lower. The grill is metal. When I picked up my car it had watermarks on it. The dealer used a polish to remove them. Coated plastic would not respond that way. Replies to this message: m6user (Aug 27, 2009 7:38 am)

Replying to: Chasboy (Aug 23, 2009 3:40 pm) Tks. It appeared that the center "shield" was chrome/metal but the large V seemed to be look more like plastic with a silver paint as there was a definite difference in the finish between the two. I may be mistaken as it was a fairly quick look.

Replying to: priggly (Aug 26, 2009 10:05 pm) Not sure which harmonics you are concerned about, but I have a very critical ear (to the dismay of my DW) and I have noticed nothing like that. In fact on a smooth highway, with light throttle, the ambience is very jet like.

Actually, for the last couple of generations, Acura has employed a passive system that cancels out any harmonic vibrations/sounds. Replies to this message: Chasboy (Aug 29, 2009 1:42 pm)

Replying to: graphicguy (Aug 29, 2009 9:43 am) I should have remembered from reading about Acura's debut.

Replying to: eastnyc718 (Aug 29, 2009 10:52 am) Try this Discount Tire Site, has images of car in all colors and you try on wheels. Lots of choices at much better price, though I have yet to take the plunge ($)   http://www.discounttire.com/dtcs/interactive.do?v=016003%7C2009&pc=53278
