Although the luxury market for Front wheel drive coupe's is small....I would argue that Acura could reinvigorate the segment and grow it, if they made a coupe version of the TL. Remember the Acura 95 Acura Legend?

If the TL coupe was offered, would you buy one?

Yes. Just looked at that concept from 2010 or w.e. I kinda like it.

 

I just looked it too. Thanks for the suggestion.

 

I probably wouldn't. I bought my TL because it is a somewhat sporty 4 door.

 

the CL did not sell well and it is not likely that we will see it's return

 

The closest you will get to a two-door TL is the Accord Coupe. Just swap out the emblems for some TL ones and you're good to go

KIDDING. Seriously people, don't do that.

 

I had a coupe for 14yrs, much rather have a sedan.

 

^^ Seen that, and last week I saw a silver 04 or 05 TL, bone stock with a type S badge on the back.



But, back to the topic, if I wanted a 2-dr I'd buy an RSX-S or an NSX. I would not buy a TL coupe, because the sport sedan is a style the TL pulls off exceedingly well. Not to mention it's exactly what I wanted in a car.

 

Hell no, I wouldn't buy the TL coupe, the reason why the Legend does good with sale in the Coupe because at the time there is no competition in the luxury sport Coupe realm, 91-95 BMW has M3 coupe as sport, 3 series coupe has nothing special in feature and the 840/850i is way too expensive. Mercedes coupe looks like crap from those years, Lexus has the SC but it was big and bulky, Nissan only has 240 SX which didn't even has turbo and 300ZX is their super sport coupe. The Legend coupe fall between sport and luxury where it offer in 1993 Acura LS coupe feature TCS (Taction Control System), Type II motor rate 230HP 201TQ, automatic climate control, heated seat, 6spd MT (not too many car maker has except for Toyota Supra TT, BMW 8 series), memory seat, heated mirror, audio steering wheel control, 6 disc CD changer, 225 watt Bose premium stereo with tweeter, leather cover ceiling, power telescoping steering wheel, full size spare tire, power everything. In Japan they even offer Honda first Navigation system, bumper pole, DLR, rear reclining seat. I mean the technology was way ahead of it rival within the class, even by today standard it will put most of the car into shame. I mean it only missing ventilated seat, MID, surround sound system, side curtain airbag and TPMS it will even beat our TL in technology category and this was done 18 years ago. But today there is too many car maker has coupe that feature power and tech such as G37 Coupe, BMW 335i coupe, Hyundai Genesis coupe etc..... and I think the TL wouldn't stand a chance for being SOCH engine produce the least HP exchange for MPG, no OMG ground breaking techs and yet it quite expensive.

 

How can I argue with that? Perhaps my heart is in more than my head.

 

Nope

 

Bring back something sporty before you make the TL a coupe again.

 

My first thought is "no" but its hard to imagine what a TL coupe would be like. For example a Genesis Coupe vs a Genesis Sedan are 2 different animals. Like TOTALLY Different. I do think Acura needs to produce a sport model, but a TL sport couple? I think it would be better if they did not try to recreate the TL, instead give us a revamped NSX. That would be interesting to see. An affordable NSX

 

Damn truonghthe, see that big button on the right side of the keyboard, says "Enter" on it, please use.

 

apparently they are planning on dropping the tl in the future

 

^ - Given the styling direction Acura is taking it isn't a huge disappointment

 

yes most deff would buy it .. that would be soo nice if they made a TL coupe

 

I've heard they are actually making a TL Coupe in the near future. Would I buy it..probably not. IMO Acura does need to come out with a sporty coupe though. They haven't had a sport coupe since 06 with the RSX, which I really liked.

 

The only two door coupe Acura should be making is the NSX. Nothing else.

 

I think a 3G TL would have look hot as a coupe........still will need a picture of some sort to truly have an opinion

 

wait for it.................

 

I love that photoshop!!

 

Ask and you shall receive sir.

I dont know about you guys but I personally think that looks great.

 

There was another pic of a TL, it's silver and it's a complete side shot, doesn't have the hideous body kit on it either.

 

Integra

 

That photoshop is useless since coupes generally don't look exactly like the sedan, minus the 2 doors :P.

 

My first car was a 92 Legend sedan LS trim with 5spd MT .



NSX will never be affordable for average person like most of us because Honda want the NSX to compete with Nissan GT-R and Lexus LF-A where the GT-R price tag already sneaking near $100k that is some serious mortgage's money right there for an average house.

on my key board the Enter button actually small lol .


slow and over price compare to the competition like Subaru WRX, VW golf GTI R, Lancer Ralliat, Mazda 3 Speed, unless Honda decide to throw out a 2.4 liter turbocharge with 260 hp and 220 tq. But Honda tradition always is N/A motor with high HP out put this can be demonstrate in 91 NSX 3.0 with 270 hp, 97 NSX 3.2 with 290hp, S2000 2.2 with 238hp and RSX-S 2.0 with 200hp. So far the only Honda ever been turbocharge in the US is the 1st gen RDX and Honda Aquatrack 1000 jet ski.

 

Integra GS RS LS yes but GSR and Type R are not.

 

Its not bad just need to be tweek a bit here and there and make it RWD with DOHC

 

^This. My old car was a coupe. I much prefer the practicality of a sedan.

Plus, sedans have a bit of a sleeper status too, which I like. The average person who knows little to nothing about cars looks at a 4 door sedan and automatically think "slow". These same people look at any 2 door coupe and automatically think "sports car", even if it's something like a Kia Forte.

^Also this (except the emblem swapping part of course). You can option out an Accord coupe to nearly match the equipment level of a TL (EX-L V6 navi), so a TL coupe seems a bit redundant.

 

honestly say.. any coupe that acura releases will be a hit buy.. and id probably buy it regardless

just recap all the coupes they have made

first gen integra
second gen integra
nsx
rsx
legend

 

I can really see the love for the CL around here...

 

CL's are the red headed step child.

 

Nope. I ditched my Accord Coupe for a TL because it had 4 doors. (Among other reasons)

 

Oddly enough, I was thinking about what a coupe version of the TL would look like on the way to work this morning

 

I don't get how you guys could get excited about a FWD coupe. Rather just keep what I have.

 

It's more of the styling of the car rather than the performance. Plus I see freaking TLs everywhere, and I rarely see a CL, and I have only seen 3 modified CLs (Not including mine). When it comes to a performance vehicle, AWD or GTFO!

 

2G CL-S > 3G TL

I miss mine terribly and regret making the switch.
