OMG this car in person is a jewel...I'm considering buying this car after cheking it out. The guy acura guy there told me they have a few available at some acura dealers in NH and Boston area. I'm def. gonna try to head to my local dealer to test drive this thing. The only down fault is that the sticker price is going for around $38,748

Those cars are definitley sweet... had the opportunity to check one out at the local Acura dealer. The two that they had on the lot at that point were already sold. The interior is quite sporty... and plush. Well worth the nearly $39,000 sticker price IMO.

I said it once I'll say it again...hell no would I buy that monstrosity. The new Acura key is a flip out key, much similar to what the Germans were making almost 7 years ago. Looks like a cross breed between Japanese and German...

There are people oogling over this like it's new tech...when the ideas on the car have been around for a long time.

hmm...

Lets call it a Germanese Acura TL-S

I maybe the only one around here to say this, but i like it alot! Personally i dont care for the little things like flip key this and that, but the car its self looks a heck of a lot meanier now. Rims are a little busy looking maybe, but good enough for being Acura. I was never a HUGE fan of the current tail pipes on the TL. Dont get me wrong, they definately worked and they seemed to mesh well with the car, but maybe a little too well. With the TypeS back end the car seems to be a little more beefier, its not so refined which it grabs your attention a little more. I wonder what this thing sounds like... But most of all, I LOVE the interior!! I wonder if theres anychance we can get those instrument fixtures for the CLs. That would looke sweet.

I think I would have to change the wheels before anything else. IMO, they are the fugliest wheels on a TL.

They could have at least given the car AWD. What a waste of "the 3.5L, 286hp". There's no way I'd pay $38k for that car.

I saw 2 at the dealer. They had the bland ivory interiors, one was gold and one that new bronze, both looked underwhelming to me, and they dropped Anthracite.

The 2 tone black/grey interiors look good in pix but they seem scarce. THe only important difference is the bigger engine, and it must be pricey to bring it up to near $40k. I'd rather get a used RL for that or less (saw one used RL sold for $35k already)

I like it....saw it in person at our acura meet last weekend of oct. and it was vicious....the person changed the wheels immediatly like most would probably do but the car in itself was vicious... def a good buy...and that thing sounds and drives like a monster....

should be in the videos....check em out....

Saw one a couple weekends ago. Definitely a nice ride. Price tag of 38k though.. yuck. If RL's are really selling for 35k nowadays, thats definitely the better bargain.

the wheels look a lot better in person, but my dealer had a dark blue w/ beige interior. it looked terrible. should have been black on black.

Cartalk or the TL forums...

Take your pick...

If it's not about a 2G CL, then it shouldn't be posted in this forum....

At the top of every page there are links to the TL and Offtopic forums. Use them.
