What does TL stand for?
Seems like a stupid questions but someone asked me and I didn't know the answer. I perfer car names as opposed to letters and numbers but the TL must stand for something.

RL - Refined Luxury
CL - Coupe Luxury

TL, RL, MDX, CL, RSX, TSX....they do not stand for anything. As far as touring luxury....that has always seem to be the most common....as far back as I could think of.
I like Reborn Legend for RL.....

OK, I've held back long enough. I've known the official Acura designations all along, but they might kill me for posting them here. Still, I can't keep the secret any longer. These abbreviations were thought up one night in a karaoke bar after some Acura businessmen had had too much sushi, way too much sake, and evidently not enough sex at home. Here they are, folks:
CL = cunnilingus
TL = tittilingus
RL = rectilingus
That last one usually makes people shudder, but hey, after a meal of raw eel and octopus I suppose anything might taste good.

The letters don't stand for anything. Acura just wanted to go with "coded letters" to identify the vehicle. The last vehicle that changed names was the Integra to the RSX...which in Japan they still call it the Integra.
