Talking '04 TL - If I Could Design it!

Here's my take on what the 04 TL should look like.

I can't figure out how to post attachments, so if anyone knows how... please post it here.

That's funny, I thought the same thing when I was done. It's called "having a slow day at the office!"

So if you could design it yourself you'd make it look exactly like the 2002-2003 TL except change the grill to be Taurus-like? LOL.. too funny.

Honestly I'm expecting the '04 TL to look very different from the current Gen....

oh and BTW.. to attach images you need to be a Gold or Premium member of the site. For more information, visit: http://www.acura-tl.com/membership.htm

The back end looks like my girlfriend's 96' Plymouth Breeze.

LOL.. not harsh.. just ball busters

Personally I don't have any drawings.... I'm just going to wait to see what Acura releases. Should hear something in the next 2 months or so (hopefully).

That's true... I'm just kidding, and hoping to see someones else's idea of what's to come. I just can't believe no images have slipped out yet!

not harsh at all... just calling it like it is. you have a very nice technique, the drawing still looks like a last generation taurus, however.

I'm assuming the pix has not been photoshopped and it's the current TLs. But, the drawing doesn't look like a Taurus at all, it looks like a Pontiac Grand Prix. TL needs to do something drastic. Really mix it up and make a major change a la Nissan with many of their vehicles. Now I'm saying to look like a Nissan, I'm saying have balls like Nissan and be willing to make serious modifications.

Nickchop... great point. Just saw a new Maxima in my parking lot this morning... I know what you mean. Although it's a larger Altima (in more ways than one) They did mix things up a bit. I just don't see Acura taking such a risk. Look at the last RSX, they could have really pushed the envelope there. I hope they prove me wrong, because I'll be the first one in there to grab one.

ntls, what if its ugly? knowing acura they will not make a drastic change. the new tsx,rsx,nsx all have very conservative yet nice styling. personally, i think acura should stay conservative. ALOT of the older folks are happy with the attitude of styling so far.

I like the rear end styling. Reminds me of the new E class which is the nicest behind out there right now.

I do take issue with the rounded front though, it does seem somewhat 'north american'
