Same for the front. There is a moisture sensor built into the dash board. When it detects fog, it kicks in some cool air to remove it.

I was referring to the outside of the window.

How about changing the title of this discussion to "2009-2010 TL," to include the current model year?

Let's make it Acura TL 2009- so no one has to tell me to change 2010 to 2011 when the time comes. 
Thanks for the suggestion!

2010 TL

I've been looking into the 2010 TL. I built one on the Acura website and went to look at one at the dealership today, before they were open.
I'm curious about the lack of automatic headlights. The '08 TL
had this feature where you can set it and forget it. Now, it seems that the 2010 TL does not have that feature. Also, it appears that the tilt/telescope steering wheel is manual instead of power?
Can anyone confirm these two things for me?

I guess I've been spoiled in my RX350, as it has a power tilt/telescoping steering wheel and rain-sensing wipers. The rain-sensing wipers are one of my favorite features, you just set it and forget it.
On a previous thought from a previous poster who said the current
gen. TL has auto headlights, are you sure about that? Because when I looked at the stalk on the left side of the steering wheel, I didn't see the word "auto" on the stalk. I'm curious, as I have this feature on my current vehicle( Actually have had it on the last two vehicles) and I like having it.

I would have to disagree with you on the body style of the new TL.
I've seen a few on the road either in front or in the back and I think it looks really nice. The front beak, when I've seen the car approach from behind gives the car a low slung, stealthy look.
One of the few things that I'm not crazy about on the TL is the length of the car at 195 inches. Whoa! I don't believe I can fit this car in my garage.

1st time Acura owner, bought TL Shawd Tech in May 2009. Personally it was sleek design that brought to my attention. I kinda overlook the rest and now disappointed. I was surfing to find if i can change tire to improve ride. Right now i hear the sound of the road under me and bumpy. Im a SUV owner a lexus gx470 and a limited 4runner, so this is our 1st sedan. I would go back to Lexus any day. My lexus gx470 has better ride then the 09TL. The only thing that discourage me from buying another lexus is that there isnt a lexus dealer in town to do maintenance and the toyota dealer locally has poor service. Everytime i do an oil change i have to drive 2 hrs and another 1 hr for the work...that sum up the whole day back and forth. Anyway, i love the tech package . The inside looks awesome. I added the spoiler for front and back . Dealer accidentally add the backup camera so it became complimentary. I also added the 3M plastic to cover the front instead of using bra, so it is clear and transparent. So going back to my issue , anyone change their tires to improve the ride???

We just came home from our first maintenance on our AWD, and it rides like a dream. I can see where an experienced Lexus owner would find the ride harsh, but coming from a BMW, I'm in 7th heaven. As for changing the tires, it's the profile that is the problem. There just isn't that much tire there. TireRack or Discount Tire website have 'alternative size' listings you might pursue.
Maximafan(I think it was you). At 195" the TL is 16'3" long. Unless your garage was built for a conestoga, I know of no garages that are that small.
