Look at where the exhaust splits on the RL. The new TL exhaust will probably be close to this in design.

really disappointed w/ the MMC of the RL. Kinda different seeing a TL at a show (in China) without the fogs in the lower bumper with the "older" style wheels.

How come that TL has type-s headlights and tails? I really like the color though.

NO, those r not type-S head lights and tail lights. those lights r unique, probably only for Chinese TL...

and the engine in China is the old one, 270hp.

The headlights have the 04-06 chrome pieces blacked with type s diffusers and the tails are the chinese versions with the clear turn signals

All of the engines are the same, the 05-08 are just measured differently

Yeah the front headlights of the TL is like a mix of the Type-S and 04-06 headlights.
And the tails....well...nothing to say.

Nice to see that Acura has a respectable display worthy of a luxury brand. To bad the TL is one of the top-ten worst selling cars in China. Maybe people just don't know about it because seems like there are tons of people taking pictures.

Acura is new to China, or even new to the whole Asia.. (only China got "Acura" in Asia rite?) But I've seen many new MDX on the street in beijing already.. TL, just need to wait for a little bit longer..

cars like the TL and RL just are a bit on the BIG side for China, so it might not garner the attention it has gotten here.

The new RL, to me, is sooooo ugly. The generation before this one is OK but once enhanced with kit and RJ rims it's priceless.

you mean the back looks like a benz. Don't like the front, and think they should have put some bigger wheels.

Is it just me or now Acura makes their cars fat? Since I got my RJ kit many people have said to me that my TL looks like it is pregnant. And it really is wider now than with the factory bumpers.

Those tail lights on the RL need a redesign, the color scheme is

And the rear as a whole looks odd, its like the 7 series BMW, where the trunk looks like its elevated. I'm not sure if anyone understood that, but if you look at the 2006 7series and compare you'll see what I mean.

Just read a couple of articles on this show, and they all said that this Beijing show only had about 5-6 new cars, everything else was smoke and mirrors. RL is not bad, saw a TSX in person ( where it looks better), but I second the motion about it having the 4-banger.

Whoa... Initial thought... I don't like it... I'm wondering if I'll get used to it though. Looks like a lotta Acura models are going with that weird grille. TSX has already got it... I hope the new TL doesn't have that big piece in the grille, but it probably will. *sigh*

I seen MDX all over Vietnam last december. The new MDX is a hot thing over there.

I notice the TL in China doesnt have fog lights like the 07-08

hopefully the RL get the ASPEC upgrade so the exhaust can be cover up..cause thats exhaust tip doesnt belong there IMHO

The headlights and taillights don't seem to compliment each other on the RL.

Is there any way we could acquire those 'accent strip' lower grill inserts on the TL?? hhmm...that would be nice!
