How often do you see 4G TL's in your area?

Do you see 4G TL's much on the road?

I hardly ever see them, and actually I can't even remember ever seeing one on the road, ever. I bet they sold 30 3G TL's for every 4G they probably end up having to give away.

I am not trying to insult anyone's car or anything....but I think Acura has really lost it's way. In the commercial they position the TL to where the grill isn't so huge and in the way, and they also used a color to help it blend in.

I don't really see that many new Acuras at all anymore, now that I think about it.

So, how often do you see 4g TLs in your area when you're out?

There are many factors as to why the 4G is not selling as much as the 3G did back in the day. It's not just about the beak.

I see at least one 4G every other day. I see at least two 3G's everyday.

Honestly I see more 4Gs than I do 3Gs. I probably see a three or so 4Gs a week, while 3Gs i may only see one or two a week. Still have yet to see another one around with the A-spec kit. Im in NW Indiana.

Usually everyday I'll see 1 or 2 as opposed to the 3-5 3Gs I see per day.

In NYC they're as common as the next car. You can see anywhere from 5-8 4G's per day if you're out a lot.. very commonplace.

I've seen a few in northern Ohio, not nearly as many as 3rd gen. I want to like the 4th gen., but it just doesn't do it for me.

The Sacramento Valley in NorCal frowns upon the 4G (apparently)... I rarely see them. The BMW 3 and 5 series takes precedence here. They are about as common as the Accord and Camry on the roadways.

Interesting. Here in Knoxville I never see them, while 3Gs are about as common as Camrys. Last night I was behind an almost identical car, and they seem to be everywhere.

One cool thing about owning a 4G is that (at least here) you don't see your car every 5 minutes....

I see a decent amount of TSXs, however. The grill on those is still a bit much, but it looks WAY better than the TL IMO.

Used to be about one every month but now about one or two a week. They are very hard to miss with the obvious beak and rear of it lol.

Not very often here in Cincinnati. See a lot of 3G's though.

A friend of mine had his 3G in for service and they gave him a 4G loaner, he hated it. Said it drove like a boat.

If lucky, will see one every couple of days. Although 3Gs are only about 2-3 a day.

I see maybe 1 every day to 2 days here in the Dallas area on my way to and back from work (about 27 miles each way). I see at least 1-2 3G's here a day. Of course, I could be seeing the same ones each day.

I don't see them too often here in San Diego, CA. And I drive about 80-100 miles a day...I see tons of 3G TLs and maybe 1 4G TL every week....or I could be that I don't notice the 4G TLs since I don't really care for them....but I do notice every single 3G TL....

I know a few Acura salesmen and they've told me that the 4G TL is just not as hot of seller as the 3G when it was released.
