true on the completley upgraded interior...
i'll just say, if acura's answer to refresh is a cleared tail light and a couple of amber bulbs thats pretty weak ...then again, what the hell do i know...

the new G35 is pretty hot, interior is alot better compare to the current version, however i still think tl wins by a bit...not much....
but not to mention the interior.... the new G is got 300+ hp with smart AWD system.... the current g35x is already fast enough(5.9sec 0-60mph with 5AT)... cant wait to see what the new one can do.... the question comes down to ..... with IS350, G35 out there... can TL stand up to the challenge? not just performance wise...

The G35, IS350, ES350; all these cars have more torque and HP than the '06 TL. The G35 is beating all of them with:
300+ HP, RWD, AWD, Paddle shifters, High Intensity Discharge (HID), Adaptive Front lighting System (AFS)(optional), Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS), standard 18-inch aluminum-alloy wheels(P245/45R18 tires), standard Infiniti Intelligent Key with Push Button Ignition and available RearView Monitor and Bluetooth® Hands-Free Phone System. touch screen Infiniti Navigation System features available XM® NavTraffic™ with real-time traffic information + HD for music and pictures(will offer a high-end Bose audio system that integrates a digital audio converter (DAC) that lets users rip audio CDs and create digital audio files). The '07 G35 is a redesign, not a refresh that was done back in '05. The '07 G35 is built on a modified FM platform that the '06 rides in, with a stronger chassis rigidity, less drag, and larger sway bars for better performance(approximately 80% of major parts (except bolts, O-rings and clips) redesigned). Both engine and platform have been significantly enhanced for use with the 2007 G.

Good check Altec, i looked at insideline.com/edmunds last night after i posted and indeed it looks you are right, more like a redesign than a refresh...regardless, you'd think with a few tweaks here and there acura could position the 07 TL to more strongly compete with the new advancements we're seeing in the luxury sedan market. but who knows, with acura posting solid sales numbers on the TL they could elect to rest on their laurels and ride it out one (or two) more years....i guess we'll see soon enough

2007
2007 TL is due for a Minor Model Change before 2009 redesign. It will most likely receive clear taillights, redesigned front bumper and headlights, and additional horsepower with a revised intake/exhaust system.
It has been rumored that the 2009 Acura TL will use SH-AWD as used in the current (2006) Acura RL. Rumored new engine choices are the 3.5L used in the current RL or a DOHC 3.2L engine.

At least they're throwing in the HP increase to keep up with the competition.

Honda has to come out with a DOHC engine for the TL and a AWD with paddle shifters. Is the only way to stay up with other companies like, Infiniti, Lexus, and BMW. If they ride out 2 years to throw out something new, and just slap a few lights and bumpers in the refresh, Acura will loose alot of its customers especially with the low sale of the RL. I hope they don't become a manf. that bets on their SUV (RDX & MDX) to make sales like GM( ).

They did the same thing with TSX in 2006, and you got a whopping 8 more HP I believe.

Well I was considering adding the SC to my 05 TL but after seeing what's coming out I might just wait a bit. Especially want to see what the G coupe has to offer.

Wow, people are still going on about refreshes and what needs to be done for Acura to "keep up." Please. Three years ago when the G was in the middle of its cycle, did Infiniti drastically change it to keep up with the new TL because the new TL blew the G away? No, they refreshed it, ran for a couple of years, and overhauled it for 07. The new G blows the TL away (except with regards to looks)...Acura will refresh, run with it for a couple of years, and overhaul the TL in 09. The 09 TL will blow away the G, Infiniti will refresh the G...and so on...do you see the pattern? It will continue forever (or as long as these cars exist). This is why it's pointless to go on about what Acura (or Infiniti/any car maker) needs to do.
Also, for those that find it amazing that a car made in 07 has newer/more gadgets than an 04...newsflash...two year newer cars have always had more in them than previous models and they always will. It's just like the TV/computer/phone/whatever I buy today is better than the one I got/could've got two years ago.

You have to admit though.. Recently, it seems since Ghosn took over Infiniti, they have really improved, seems like they listen more to its customers more than Acura.. Infiniti customers complained about the interior and the exterior looks of the 03-06 G35, and Infiniti improved upon it..
Frankly, I like Acura and all but just some of the stuff they do just doesn't make sense... They are so stubborn with sticking to FWD and V6's its frustrating.. I mean couldn't they take a hint with the 99-03 TL? and even the with the new RL? but what frustrates me more is the limited number of options available on the TL, no AWD, no backup-camera (even the Odyssey has an option for this), no MP3 player...
Yeah, you have a point that the full model change of the TL in '09 will probably be better than the '07 G35.. but for people looking to buy in the next few months, all we care about whats available now...
but looking at the past history of Acura I get a sense that they are not very good at giving what customers want...

That 2007G is gonna be nice... but regardless of what the rags say about price, when you put one together fully loaded with all the "enthusiast goodies... It's gonna be over $40K.
The new G loaded up is lining up to compete with the IS350/RL market, not the TL
Gotta compare apples to apples.
There's not car on the market today that has the wizbang for $33K more than the TL.

Bah, for a couple hundred bucks, I can get an iPod and do a lot more with it than I can a built in Hard Drive for my car.
Heck, with the price of gas, I'd rather they make the car more fuel efficent than add more horsepower - I'd rather get another 4-5MPG than shave .6 seconds off of the 0-60 time.

The sales figures show it.
In 2002, I was going to buy an Altima (yeah, I've been cured since then) but I couldn't find a single stinking one in Dallas that had a moon roof and ABS. Lots that had one or the other, but not both. The 2003 Accord had all the stuff I wanted, and actually cost me less than a lesser-equiped Altima.

I agree with you that HONDA is good at giving what customers want because they provide good reliable cars at a resonable price.. thats what people want when they get a honda...
however ACURA as a luxury brand is horrible, did you forget about what happened around 1994-1998.. the only model generating sales was the outdated integra.. the early models of the TL, CL, and RL all were horribly designed cars.. did you forget about the Vigor? or SLX? lol....

^^^ You're on crack. The original TL and RL looked nice (and still do). I was never a fan of the CL, but others were fine. The SLX was ok...it looked like all SUV's at the time.

I have an ipod in my car too, then I had to worry about connectivity and when I bought a radio transmitter for it, which sounded like shite, I had to return it and stick with my tape connector. I was also always forgetting to charge it and so on several long distance drives, I'd end up having to sift through old CDs. Eventually I got a car charger and now I have cables hanging around near the gear knob and it just makes the car look messy.
To top it all off, you also have an issue of security in your car especially if you leave your ipod lying around your seat. Any thief with half a brain and a hammer is gonna leave you devoid of a window and an ipod.
Having something integrated does away with the security threat AND the clutter of cables and both for me are added pluses towards the decision making of buying my next car.

Acuraz88, you are the only person I have ever heard on Acurazine imply that the 90s Acura Legend was a "horribly" designed car. The truth is simple - the mid-90s brought about the best BUILT cars from Honda. Prices were high, sales weren't great, but the cars were some of the best built cars of the time. The NSX is also a car to come out of this time period (1991). The NSX and the Legend are the two cars that, IMO (and I'm probably not alone), are the best cars Honda Motor has EVER produced.

And as for the NSX.. yes that was a great car which came out in 1990 (Japan) not 1991..... get your facts straight... not within the period of 94-98.... however that car is wayyyyy overdue for a redesign..

The 07 Will probably have keyless entry and push button ignition like the current Generation G has, and will probably get new tail lights, a new front bumper, new headlights, the new navigation, aux input, probably get 275 SAE HP, New Rims, and Fog Lights

Can you tell us anything about the Hybrid engine for the TL?

My dad has a 03 nsx and they are fricken awesome and i have an 06 acura TL and i love it, i dont find anything wrong with it. I think that it would be nice to have more HP in the 07 model but AWD but i dont see it happening.
I live in chicago so it snows alot during winter so AWD would be awesome. I think when you spend 33k for your acura TL that you are getting every penny u pay for. I think that they need more accessories out and I think acura is doing a very good job of what they are doing. I think the g35 is a overpriced hunk a junk, my friends parents have the mx50 or w.e its called and its AWESOME with the keyless ignition and stuff but you don't need that stuff... it helps but also i would rather get 4-5 more miles on a gallon of gas than to shave off .6 from 0-60.
another question is how fast does the 06 acura TL go 0-60.. its good enuff... and when the engine has less horsepower you keep yourself outta trouble alot more with speed and you gain more gas milage.

What in the world makes gives you that idea? There's absolutely no evidence any of that is coming on 07 (except the new frontend).

Is there any chance that Acura addresses rattles and noises with ’07 refresh? I know that ’07 will only have minor changes, but shouldn’t this be a good opportunity for Acura to revamp some of the components that are very well know for rattles (i.e. subwoofer, door panels, A-pillars, center console)
I still think that TL is a perfect car in term of performance, quality and price and I am really hoping that the changes will all be for good. Most of the MMC are really good with the exception to butt ugly Accord 4-door. MMC for Accord 2-door, TSX were really nice, lets hope TL will follow this trend

TL is nice and everything but there is no need to call other cars junk... at least not a g35..... if g35 is junk then what about other toyota honda mazda ect. ??? not to mention ford... kia ???
