New Acura TL (Pics)

[epj3]

Saw two of these in person yesterday. What a HOT little car!!!!!

270 hp is no joke either. I sure as hell hope bmw has something up their sleeve... this is a lot more power, and a much better looking car than the new designs. Everything on this car GOES with each other. Even the exhaust tips look PERFECT on this body. You can get it on a 6 speed manual, which comes with brembo brakes. It's in a VERY competitive price bracket for the 3 series too, and has an amazing interior.

Only thing it - in an 'overall sense' - lacks, is rear wheel drive.

Yeah, they are definitely the best looking Acuras/Hondas I've ever seen.

Definitely a great-looking car and a great car overall. 270hp is nice, but FWD is not. The 6MT versiuon gives you Brembo brakes only up front, and Acura OEM calipers/rotors/pads in the rear. Weird setup, I'm guessing it was to save some $$$ while still providing strong braking.

Maybe it's just me, but that second picture makes it look like a Ford Focus. Still an awesome car, however.

Its already out and fully loaded is $35K. I was going to buy a TL but our only dealership here was not settling for less than MSRP. I argued for three days before I finally gave up. This definitely had my number. The interior was gorgeous.

Look at all that plastic.

It is still a front wheel drive boat!

Looks hot, I especially like the side profile & the square pipes.
Those rims look a lot like the Subaru RSK B4.

Front end says Mazda 6 to me.

I Don't likes!

Hehe, wait till you all see one in real life (if you haven't already). I think they are very proportional cars. It's one of the rare proportional cars.

 

[mclarensmps]

man, i totally understand what you mean when you say proportional.... this is definately a beautiful car, as is the TSX - the european accord (althogh that isnt as good as the TL) -- and one of the few cars that i ADORE in white.

I like the looks. I think it looks pretty good. It's not the car I would buy, but I think it is very classy. One thing I do not like that Acura has been doing of late and that is the square exhaust pipes. Exhaust pipes should be round. I think round ones look so much better IMO.

The car looks exactly like the European Honda Accord. It has been out for awhile over here 1 1/2 years or so. With the exception of the square exhaust tips. i love that car. A RWD or AWD version would be the SHIT

Have you guys seen the new RL? It's pretty nice with AWD, but the downside is that it's no larger than the TL and the price is around $50k.

ya that looks pretty nice, and supposedly a very nice hadling fwd car, one of th e best.

You I think you may correct, Acura Legends are called Honda Legends over here. But I have seen Acura cars.
