The first 2009 TL is a WDP 
Looks like the screen is mounted high. Bye bye touchscreen.
Can somebody tell Brenda Priddy to get a photo under the car. I want to see the SH-AWD.

Wheels, exhaust tips, seats:
Shark fin, chrome trim, upper and lower grille mesh:
Of course, that's from what I can see...overall judgement will be reserved until clean shots are available. And while there's some padding on the rear, I don't think it's as thick as some of your guys would hope it is.

My TL can do this, too!
Speculation re-assures your opinion
I've mentioned this before, but I feel this needs to be re-stated:
Please don't make judgements on body shape (including lights and grill) while it is covered with black vinyl with one to two inches of padding underneath! I will bet a tomato that the actual shapes of the 4G TLs lights and grill will not accurately reflect the outlines you see with all that cladding on top.
I will bet another tomato that there's some/many dudes back at the Acura design studio reading all this "It looks like a Maxima! OMG!" and putting their hands together like Montgomery Burns (of the Simpsons) muttering "Excellent!"
I see signs of padding underneath in many places:
- along the sides of the hood
- along the top of each side (the tops of the doors)
- along the middle of the trunk (WTF is that white patch for, too?)
- likely along the rear pillars as well
- in the rear bumper
- behind the gas door (WTF is that?)

More Observations
1. Those side mirrors are off-the shelf stuff. I believe the 4G side mirrors will still have the turn signal embedded.
2. WTF could all that tape on the lower right of the front windshield be covering up?

As much as I hate having nav and hardly use it, I hope they keep it touch screen, it makes it so much easier. Better leather seats would be nice, I think the Honda Accord has always had better looking leather seats. Lets hope there is a bigger egn then the 3.5.
