What is the length of the 04 TL?

The official Acura site says that the length of the new TL is 189.3", while many other places such as car magazines claims it as 186.2". I am just wondering which one is correct?

Longer than a piece of rope.

(It's also bigger than a breadbox)

The owners manual says 186.2 inches. (4730mm).

So, if the longer dimension is the correct one, how do you know, rets?

I would really like to know since I promised my wife (who likes smaller cars) that the TL was a little shorter than our Maxima (nevermind that the TL is substantially wider....).

In either case, it is a bit shorter than my '01 CL, seems odd.

Acura sites said 189.3'/4809mm, but some other magazines/manual said 186.2'/4730mm. Since there is 3.1' difference, it's easy to figure it out by rulers.

(If no one posts the answer, I'll do so tomorrow.)

The new TL is slightly shorter than last years model. It's ALSO wider (i.e. = better performance). I think 186.3 is right.

Thanks, I like the sound of 186.2 (smaller than the Max it replaced), but freely admit that 3 inches one way or another on total length makes nearly no difference. 3 inches given or taken away from an interior dimension would be huge though.

I am glad that the manual is right...gives me more confidence in all the other numbers in there.
