New Tl Spyshots

I want to know why a-tsx.com gets all the news on the tl before us.

Very VERY impressive.. I noticed the keys were in the ignition. Does it have some sorta security device that prevents it from being stolen? Even with the keys??

!!! the e-brake is a handbrake and not the foot brake thingy like the 2nd gen tl's
wonder why...
first gen - hand brake
2nd gen - foot brake
3rd gen - hand brake

is it just me or does it seem like a pattern...

Not what I expected

I have always likes the TLs Sporty Look and Size. This new model looks like a TSX changed just enough to make it a TL. I Guess I will wait for the new RL or stick with the current gen. Theres no denying the new TL looks nice but its just too small. If i wanted a car that size I would probably just get an Audi S4 or such.

Smaller is better these days...Btw I bet all those people who could not wait for the new TL and purchased the TSX are sad they didnt wait.

I also thought the tires were too small.

I hope the HPT model will have 18's or 19's.

Would you get the manual or the Auto? I would probably be splitting gears all the time, so auto.

I think 99-01 looks the best, with clear read corner lights...

I do own a 2000, so maybe I am biased, but I can't stand the 02+ look. The front just don't do it for me.

The new TL interior is HOT!!!, but looks like an American car from the outside, I don't really like it.

On top of that, I don't know how far can they go with FWD, with all those power. Caddy STS got like wut, 300HP FWD. The TL, if they wanna compete with the G35, eventually have to move to AWD, or else it will not be as dynamic. Sure FWD had improved a lot, but it's a lot easier to get more power and hard to improve handling with so many constrains with a production sedan...

It is a high performance tire package, that I hope will include Brembo brakes and 19"wheels.

In case you guys are wondering about the keys being left in the ignition, the car was just offloaded from a carrier. So no, it wasn't just "left" there, though that would have been interesting for Lycos to take the car for a spin.

I like the front and side, the rear needs to be more aggressive (it looks kind of like accord...) And it definitely needs bigger wheels!!!

the back is SOOO busted. the uncolored plastic around the rear plate and side marker, u gotta b kidding me Acura! i guess once the car is bought, many ppl will just take the plastic rear peice and paint it.
this car would look alot better if it had clear and red tails.... i really hate the all red taillights. the car looks like a Merc from the back, as in MERCURY! BTW, front nice, even though its the exact same as the TSX

Today's spy pics look like the car will have Brembo brakes and 18" wheels on the six speed model.

Yep, unfortunately when an enlarged picture was posted, they were only 17's.

I really hope the HPT model has unique 18" or 19" rims.
