Instant econ from the MID, rear sunshade (power) and the tire pressure monitoring system. Actually, the power tilt wheel would be nice, too.

i think all new cars are required to have tire pressure monitors in 2006.

SH-AWD
300 Hp
Acura Smart Card Keys (or keys built into the key fob)
Onstart

I think if they add the first 2, it will make the TL more appealing to the sports enthusiasts who keep bashing it for torque steer and call it not worthy of the "sports sedan" title. The car is awesome as it is features wise. I just keep remembering the reviews of the magazines pointing to torque steer and torque issues as the "achilles heel" of this car. (I agree if you will be driving it at 9/10ths or 10/10ths all the time but most of us will not be doing that everyday.)

us sports car nuts want a tl-s option which would give RWD/MT and better suspension/tires on the chassis (and maybe a 3.5L "sport" engine, something).

TL borders between sports sedan and luxury sedan, and right now it has a hard time being either. FWD in a sports sedan, nah... luxury sedan, nah....

you you fell more "luxury" in a jag, mb, or bmw. i'm not sure how sporty the lexus is, but the "IS" series is very sporty, heck even some of those new Suburu awd's are damn sporty and can haul 4 people rather nicely.

IMHO, as i have posted before, 2004 TL missed the target market and Acura needs to look at the market more closely.

The ones I want the most are more HP (obviously will happen), SH-AWD (probably will happen), XM traffic navi, and the smart keys like Infiniti. All those other things are sweet too though.

How did the TL miss their target when they sold close to 100k of them already? Its quite the other way around. They seemed to get things very, very right. Maybe not right for you, but right for most people.

Satin Silver Metallic is one of the most beautiful silvers on any car! I dont think any new silver colors are necessary; however, I would love to see the return of the Agean Blue Pearl on the 02-03 Type S TLs. One of the most beautiful blue colors ever made IMHO.

Night vision! Oh wait, the new Honda Legend gets that, one of the features that didn't carry over to the RL

aGenKa

this is a ridiculous thread

too much wishful thinking

I forgot about navi traffic....thanks

I like SH-AWD, 300hp, smart keys for the TL.

Here's what I know I wish my current TL had:

- SH-AWD
- Active Noise Control
- A more advance MID with instant MPG and average vehicle speed, and other driving
details, including the operating status of the SH-AWD system.
- TPMS system tire pressure monitoring

Plus, I'd like to see the new enhanced voice-control for the Navi (voice recognition to the street address level, not merely "Find Nearest..."). I'd also like to see XM Traffic for the Navi, but I think it'll be a long time before they cover my area, here in the land of Oz, so it wouldn't do me much good right now.

Of the other things listed... those would be cool too, but these are what I'd REALLY like.

fuque

Well, up until last week I wanted XM NavTraffic, but now I want a Sirius receiver!!

neuronbob

XM NavTraffic. 300 HP. Paddle shifters. SH-AWD. The Mugen option.

The RL could be my next car after I'm done paying for the TL.....will definitely see and test drive it soon.
