I went to the Acura site to configure a 2003 TL-S to see if I could see any changes (other than On-Star). Under the interior features description it lists rear seat headrests. The picture of the car doesn't show any. Are they calling those small humps we have on the top of the back seat in the '02s headrests? Unless you're under 4 1/2 feet tall there's no way your head is going to rest on that. I consider headrests the full deal, like VW and Audi have.

 

yeah i believe that's what we have in our 02's (dunno about the previous yrs). and well, it depends on how you sit in the back actually. i tried it before, and if you lean down a bit (putting your butt more towards the front) you can actually put your head on the headrest.

but of course, it would have been so much nicer if they can have the real thing where you can pull it upward to fit your head position

 

I have a 99 and have that little headrest hump too. It has never been on the website, but acura has always advirtised rear headrsts with the 99 and up TL.

 

Since I don't sit in the back, it does not make a difference to me one way or the other - for visibility purposes, I'd rather not have them...
