That was the old concept from '03. The new TL will look much different than that.

That looks like the concept for the 3G TL's.

I do like the bigger fender bulges, wheels, and the bad-ass brakes.

The idea of a "concept car" is to preview features and design that will slowly emerge in the future, so even if this was in 2003-it is still a concept. Point in case, the top of the line 2006 Tl model does not dream to have adaptive cruise control and other features on this concept.Get it?

Yeah - this is old. Very old. It says at the top "2004 Acura TL" we are now in the 06' model year.

Thanks for the link. Much better pictures. Surprisingly, I like the interior except the seat cushions don't look that comfortable. After all, I can't see them with my butt planted in it. I like the comfort.

I look forward to some of these products become available to us here. I am seeing more and more TL's on the road. I predict a good aftermarket for us in the years to come.

Just my opinnion, but i think most of these might be introduced in the TypeS TL.I just hope we will be able to fit them on ours.
Although, it is my understanding that Acura offers some of the concept features as an A type accessory pacakage. Some are far out, like the concept i saw that had cameras in place of side mirrors at this link
(http://car-reviews.automobile.com/Ac...cept-tl/1016/1) but concepts have no boundaries.
So when next you see a comparable vehicle with features you wish the TL has, don't droll-just wait.

I dont think they'll introduce a Type-S for this gen unfortunately, they'd take away profits from the RL. I'm assuming the A-Spec package is a makeshift Type-S. It would be a beautiful car though.

This thread is going to create much confusion for anyone who doesn't read all the posts.

This car was shown at an auto show years ago as a concept to what the "A-Spec" TL might look like. Like everyone said this is OLD. This thread should be locked IMO.

It's just like this TSX A-Spec they showed this year at SEMA. It's a concept, and that's about it.
