Post What do you think of the Anthracite color? (pics encl.)

Hi everybody.

I know the TL-S isn't available in the Anthracite color yet, but I was just wondering what you thought about it? I personally think Acura messed up in not keeping the Laguna Green color; I really liked Laguna. This anthracite color is pretty much a pseudonym for gray.

I put two pics of the anthracite here: http://www.changgroup.com/acura.html

The color is slightly lighter when you see it under in person, under the sun.
I didn't get a shot from the front, sorry. What was I thinking?!

I think the anthracite color is great. I was originally looking for a blue, but since I want a black interior and since I saw the anthracite at a dealer, I'm pretty sure I'm getting an anthracite TL.

Hey TLcraze,

Yeah, it is Brunswick Acura. Did you get a good deal from them, and do you like their service? I've heard a bunch of negative comments about Brunswick Acura; seems like they have a bad reputation.

That color is nice... I can tell already that there won't be as many of them on the road.. I would definatly notice it if I saw it...

On a side note, in the pics, doesn't the wheel on the TL-P rimind you of the Legend wheels?

I always thought that the Laguna was a grey (I'm a little color blind).... I think the new Antricite is a lot darker than I thought it was going to be.... Didn't they have a grey that they offered in '99?

Messed up? ACURA FVCKED UP by not getting the TL-S in Anthracite. That's the most gorgeous color out there and I'm waiting till the TL-S gets it before I buy. I got till November so I can wait! DAMN YOU ACURA. Yup, that's my only ***** about the car, no anthracite, don't they want to make more money off of me paying for the TL-S. Why are they trying to get me to buy the base TL?

Anthracite doesnt have a sporty look to it compared to the other colors the type s comes in. I wish they would have the monterey blue pearl on the tl-s. That would of been tight!!!

I think the Anthracite color looks a little conservative. The other blue looks more aggressive which fits the TL-S's profile better.

I agree qith Quiet. Firepepper red is the best for the TL-S. What the Hell are they thinking with not doing the red, but doing Dark Green??? Morons.

I prefer the Anthracite hands down to the black and silver. Just traded mine in for a black TLS. Too bad its not offered for the TLS.

Thumbs up

I LOVE the Anthracite, and if I hadn't ended up ditching my old car about 18 months earlier than planned, that's the color I'd be looking to buy this fall.

That dark metallic grey is the perfect color for a car, especially with the TL's charcoal interior.
