TL Coupe?
Does anyone know if Acura has plans for a TL coupe model in the near future?
I this one is not likely, but how about Rear Wheel Drive (RWD)?

Here is a few pics I have collected from this forum.
I think this one looks hot and I will buy this without a doubt!!!
This one looks ok but not as nice as the one above!!

No way. It should be a CL. The TL is a SEDAN. The CL is a COUPE. That shit is bomb. I'd still rather have a TL.
That's the way that Nissan should have taken with the G35. Get the buy-in on the Sedan (like we love the TL). Then build the, throat grasping, coupe. What's dumb is... the G35 coupe is tizz tizz. The G35 sedan is Camry Camry.

WOW!! Anyone remember the Legend Coupe? That car was freaking awesome looking and even today is still one of the best looking cars ever produced by Acura or anyone else for that matter. Just my .02....but I think a TL coupe would look awesome.

Hey, I had an 88 Legend and DO miss it-
More interior room
Quick off the line
better interior lighting
Nice Styling
Lasted 210,000 with original trans, motor, struts, etc. I should have kept it longer
My TL is nice I just hope it lasts
Pics are COOL....

Is this for real or a photochop... if its real, I would see myself getting a 6 speed-AWD coupe, and keep my auto TL for daily... 
I really need to get a damn 4 car garage.

Sitting here on such a perfect day makes me think the 1st car should be available as a convertable, too. Even if it wasn't, you could chop it...that would be too sweet!

From what I've heard from the Acura dealer, there will be a TSX coupe comming in 2007. It's somewhat odd because I thought the RSX was the TSX coupe?
I also heard a convertible version will be available as well. (No joke)

Why can't there be a TL coupe? Just because they designated the CL as a coupe in the older series doesn't mean there can't be a TL coupe one of these days. Or there could be a 3G or 4G CL coupe, but let's not get tied up with semantics here.
This is a discussion of a 2 door car based on the TL, so call it what you want but quit nitpicking.

Actually the TL is Acura's first four-door Coupe, a la the Mercedes CLS four-door coupe. That's why i got mine, for this novelty....at least that i was what i keep telling myself everything i try look out that short rear window and around all those blind spots.

I think that the first pic was probaly photoshopped, but I am sure that the second photo is photoshoped from this photo shoot that I found when I searched google.
I always thought when describing a car as a "coupe" meant that the car was two doors. So how is there going to be a "four-door Coupe" if coupe means a two door vehicle? Maybe someone could fill me in?

Let's not get this started again here. I've closed a couple of threads that did this because it's all been done before.

MB web site says CLS is a four-door coupe....may be because it has "concealed B pillars"

What they mean by four-door coupe is that the car has the sleeker lines of a coupe but with four doors.... most coupes are smoother and sleeker than their sedan counterparts....

The new RX-8 has four doors too.......and, of course, Nissan called the Maxima a "four-door sports car" for years (they even had little stickers in the windows saying "4DSC")......though I admit that's different than calling it a coupe.

an Acura has-been
Those are both photochops. The gold one is from a year and a half ago, the front bumper on the gold (2nd photo) was a combination of the new 5 series aftermarket bumper from AC Shnitzer (lower portion) and the acura top.
wow, what's old is new!

A TL coupe is a novel idea. But.... kinda dumb. Use the CL badge for something tastey for once.

That car looks "totally SICK!" maybe this will step up the production of aftermarket parts for the TL. Considering they only really make those kind of parts for sport coupes... I still wouldn't trade mine in though...
