Day 2 of 04 TL Test Drive

Sorry the pictures have been temporarly taken down so that Acura-TL could watermark them so as to prevent theft of the images.

I would like to Thank maddtl for the heads up on this test drive and for all the info he provided without his help i could not have gotten the pics.

Great shots.

Any chance you can try to get a clear, bright shot of the rear with the underbody kit?

Does anybody know how these test drive things work? Can I just drive up to Chicago the 22nd and expect to be able to drive the 04 TL, or do I have to be a dealer? I have mine on order, and would love to drive it before they arrive on the lots. Thanks

Pictures will be up soon as we make a nice webpage for them

They have to be resized, since some are half a megabyte and others 1.2 MB!!!

HIGH RESOLUTION!

No not any can go.. But if you find the spot, I am sure they cant stop you from looking..

They dont let you test drive the car thought, but some of the people have gotten lucky and they let them drive the car
