I've seen at least 20. I also know a few people who have bought one.

I've seen at least 4 in the Portland OR area, 2 in Salem, another 2 in Eugene, 4 in Corvallis and the rest were along I-5 between Medford OR and Seattle WA.

Well, they're still rare, but I bet eventually it'll be one of those cars you'll see all the time. Maybe not as common as Camry or Accord, but definitely main stream.

This is kinda nice and not so nice. It's cool in a sense that finding parts and servicing would be rather easy, but it won't feel as special. Either case, it's one heck of a car.

I've seen a couple of the Blue, one Green, and 1 one possibly 2 Anthracite, (besides my car). It was dusk, so it was kind of iffy.

Have seen zero TL's in the Detroit area. Alot of folks work for
the big 3 so get big discounts on big 3 iron.

It could have been.

Do you take PCH (southbound), past the Catalina intersection,
in the evening?

If so, it could have been you.

Nice place to live & drive the TL.

Waiting for the sun and then the jumbalee's to come out...

Between October and Jan 9, 04, I only saw 6 TLs,
4 in New York/Long Island,
1 in Pittsburgh,
and 1 in Nashville.


After Jan 10, 04, suddenly I have seen at least one TL in NYC and Long Island area everyday. They're Blue, Black, Silver, Silver with wing, Green, Anthracite, Anthracite with Wing, and white. So it's about 19-20 so far.


Acura may already sell 17,000-19,000 in states, 04TLs should be more and more everywhere.

The time to enjoy yourself is gone... too many 04TLs are around now...

Just last Thursday, I saw four while traveling on North 1st St. and then I saw another two (brand new) this morning at work.

After the recent SF and SJ auto shows, it doesn't take very long for folks in the Valley to buy the latest and greatest. Soon they'll be on every street corner just like the last generation...

I've seen 3 black TLs and 1 silver in Los Angeles. Two on the 405 near LAX and two parked around town.

I'm about to get an anthracite to add to the mix. Two people I work with already have anthracite TLs, one in Phoenix an one in Denver.

Hehe, I don't usually travel that way, but if I were to travel that way, it's usually in the evening. I think I can recall seeing an anthrasite TL around PCH and Aviation myself

I saw an asian gentleman in a Burger King drive through with an Anthracite.. maybe it was silver awhile back

I honked and waved and so did he!

If that is you send me a private message!

I see a SLEW of 2Gen and 1 Gen TLs all over the road...

I see a silver 04 TL ast work every day because someone else I work with bought one as well.. and someoen else bought a new RL.

So our parking lot looks like an Acura dealership.

Have now seen 3 in Lakeland: One WDP, one Anthracite, one Abyss Blue. I'm still thinking WDP for me by July but the more I see the Anthracite the harder the choice gets!

There are three 04 TL's (including mine) in my work parking lot every day (two anthracite, one silver), so they don't seem very rare to me.

Hi you guys, newbie here.

Four days ago, there was a Desert Mist in front of me after we both dropped our kids off at their junior high. And I spotted a debadged Silver one on Royal street last week. So far that's it. I'm waiting for my Redondo Red/Ebony/5At/Nav that will be here Feb 7th!

I've seen quite a few in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, 3 park in our parking garage and see another 2(same ones) on my commute every morning. Just driving around I see a few every day as well.

I've only seen 2 in the NYC area so far, both in Forest Hills. I saw a White Diamond Pearl drive by, and I saw a Satin Silver Metallic parked. It was cool because it was parked on a busy street and everyone stopped to oogle it (including me!).
