Anybody know what color changes there will be for the 05 TL? Believe I saw, on Speedvision, a story on the 05 RL and, in the background was a light blue, metallic, TL. Similar to color on the TSX. So, was wondering about colors for the 05 TL.

does ne1 else think that the element is a ugly POS?!!? dont even get me started on the scion crap...........

Lore

Heh, those Scions are made by Toyota though, right? They're definitely quite the looker.

Why is it public knowledge what will be available for 2005 Hondas and not Acuras?

PhilB

For the same reason that cell phones have cameras and DVD players come in silver.

Talked to my dealer this weekend and he told me they are doing away with the ABP (Abyss Blue Pearl). He told me they have had some complaints about the color scratching too easily, high maintenance, etc. Just what he told me.

rets

IMO, not only ABP, other colors have the similar issues. :o

PossibleTL

Hey guys... i currently have a 2001 3.2CL Type S w/ only 31000 miles on it, however, my fiancee is expecting toward the end of the year So that's prompting me to get a 4dr. car and i'm definitely getting the new TL. My only question is that i've heard people talking about the 05 TL. Are they changing the body style of the car or will they just change minor things i.e. tail lights, etc...? This will determine when i purchase the new TL. And i'm also waiting for October to see and feel how the 05 RL will drive.

If someone could help me out i'd appreciate it.

rets

Unfortunately, no one knows what's new to 05TL yet...

How could Blue be a high maintenance color? I think Black would be since it shows every type of blemish and dirt.

cheesehead

I thought the same thing - just wat the salesperson told me.............the ABP is dark though so to me both black and blue would be higher maintenance

Eduardo

Uhh, they are ugly looking!!!

But each to their own.

The TL should have White Pearl w/black interior for th 5AT!!! I think the color would sell more if they do!!! :jump2: :jump2:

yield2s

but I only want them to make one. FOR ME!

TLGator

I honestly think they should offer every interior with every exterior, even if some combo's would only be available by special order that might take 2-3 months to get. I mean, really, the damn factory is full of computers and robots. How hard can it be?

finishline

I hope they DO discontinue ABP.

Lore

I was being sarcastic

soopa

honda has had more shades of silver....

dunno why they got rid of the s2k's `silverstone`. a dark hued silver... not as dark as graphite... looked like pure aluminum.
