TL in Sport Compact Car

I am not sure if the issue was this month or last month but I was at my local shop today and I was thumbing through a very recent issue of Sport Compact Car. They did a erite up on the evolution of Acura as a car manufacurer and there were three pictures of a TL. It was a 3G TL with a slightly different front and rear end. The rear tail lights were fucking SICK!

AND NO IT WAS NOT THIS REAR END!




I know so can anyone scan the pics from the magazine and post them? Man they really looked good on the car!

It's not the June issue. I'm flipping through that one right now. It has to be May.

Was it like this by any chance? This is the version of the 3G TL that is being released in China.

No... The tail light was still all red I believe. But it had noticably different sections inside the housing. A Large circle for braking and what looked like a smaller circle for reverse lights.

Sorry to break it to you guys, but these pictures have been posted so many times on here. I think they date back to something like 2003! The concept TL. Let me see if I can find the originals.

datmrman: True they have been posted but I believe they refering to others.

I just looked through both the May and June issuse of Sport Compact Car and I did not find ANY pics of a 3G TL maybe that magazine was dated. Do you remember what was on the cover of the magazine?

I just recieved the July issue and yes they are TL pics but nothing new for the regulars here on the board, we have seen the pics. I'm going to do a little search to find a thread. Or I'll scan the magazine....

The article talks about the past 20 years of Acura and how they have made an impact on the Japp. cars....

The tail lights look nothing like what I have seen on any thread here on acurazine. Maybe I missed it?
