Acura Style Magazine

Anyone else get the summer 2005 Acura style magazine? It has an article on "The Making of The TL".

Yeah, they really went wild describing the wonderful fit of the interior pieces and the fantastic paint used on the TL. Wishful thinking, I bet.

It's funny.
If you don't have a TL and you read the article, you'll be like wow, the TL really is built very good. The quality must be great.

If you have a TL and you read the article, it's funny.

I just started getting them in the mail. This is my second issue. It's published twice annually.

Thanks I just signed up. Can't wait to get it can anyone please paste the article on the tl. Also is thier a differant magazine for each model you own beacause it asks you for that info. Or maybe its just so they can send you brochures on all the models you don't own. LOL

The article is pretty big. I'll see if I can type it when I have some time. I don't have a scanner.
I think there is only one magazine.

I just got mine today. It's funny that they have a Inside the Making of the TL article. Looks like the people doing the final inspection should pay more attention to the cars than each other.

Just got my copy a couple of days ago. The TL article wasn't too bad but they didn't have to be so estatic about it. Overall I enjoyed reading the magazine.

I just got finished reading the article and your statement is so true. Wow a 9-step paint process must mean the paint is flawless. Well all I know is that my paint chips very easily and I already have a few chips on my hood/bumper. And all those people checking the TL at the end of the assembly line must have had the day off when my car left the factory. Very amusing article indeed!

I got mine today. It was good to notice that the "Making the TL" article highlighted the best looking color - WDP!

I got a copy Wednesday.

It had several regional travel articles that made sense (upstate NY, day trips from DC) & several that didn't (Swittzerland).

It also had some discussion of the navi system & why the TL can't be upgraded to the real time traffic system & some of the accident avoidance technology that will be available on the 05 RL.

I don't think I've owned a vehicle that the paint didn't chip. Let me ask you something, was the paint chipped when you bought the vehicle? If so, why did you by it?

hp1kw....paint chips because of rocks hitting it...don't blame Acura when you follow trucks too closely. I also have a TL...and I only have one small chip on my bumper. I know when I got it...passing a truck. Here in PA....they don't bother to clean the highways from all the winter friction material they dump on the roads...and trucks are notorious for spewing stones and other debris. Acura's design of the TL is partially responsible, the front end design is particularly vunerable, but it's the stones not the paint at fault.

I did get mine Friday (finally). Article on the TL being built was ok. I was much more interested in the little blirp on the TL at Thunderoad or whatever. It was linked here a while ago, so I already knew about it, but I would've like to have seen more info in the Style magazine about it. Details were almost non-existant...2 or 3 pics. Of course, this mag is geared towards yuppies (hence all of the travel articles to yuppie places) as opposed to performance enthusiats or tuners, but they still could've put in a little more info.

Paint chips because of rocks hitting it. How do you explain paint peeling by itself?
