Sup alls was wondering if anyone knows anythign about a new tl in the works, or when acura plans on bringing it out?

 

If Acura continues to follow it's release date...the 2004 Acura TL should be out March/April of 2003. And if Acura follows it's 5 year redesign schdule, then the 2004 Acura TL should be redesigned. At this point i do'nt think many of us know much about the 2004 TL. I read from other post that they are coming out with a TSX...a cross between TL and RSX.

 

We can get some clues what the new TL will look like buy checking out spy photos of the new Accord... Car & Driver has some posted and the car now has a more Camry like rakish drop front/high back design.

 

Last I heard was that Acura is going to go back to it's "regular" release schedule which means that the '04 TL should be out in August/Sept. of 2003. It looks like it is up for a redesign, but we haven't heard anything yet. Hopefully it will not look like the new Accord b/c that's just wrong. Look for more information at the beginning of 2003... it should start leaking out around then....

 

dont know but based on the equipment in the 03 accord it better be HOTT

 

Can u please provide a link to the car and driver page where Accord's pics r posted.

thx

Still think the photo doesn't do it justice. But hopefully the TL will be better than this (and I'm sure it will).

And I think TL will still move up in price and have more horses as base (may be 260?). And a smaller IS fighter will enter the current TL range.
