09 Tl spec.

This is actual spec. [base model-280hpfwd]=[awd model-300hp], once again this car is torque less , and gets worse gas mileage then the current 3g tl's. And also stated 0-60 will be in the high 6. I would scan the pages but i don't have a scanner . And the interior on the car is very ugly looks like the 09 tsx, and no touch screen any more. Acura has a new low on this one, very sad. And this car starts at 34,000$ fully loaded will be around 40,650$. This will be one but ugly shitty slow car.

Honda engines are never really "torquey" why would you expect different?
and gets worse gas mileage then the current 3g tl's.
More power usually means more fuel usage, Why the surprise?
And the interior on the car is very ugly looks like the 09 tsx, and no touch screen any more.
Every new Acura since 2005 has used the interface dial, why would this be any different?

And like Phee said, how do you know these specs?

OP is simply repeating info that has been passed around, is simple logic, the RL's specs, jut a little faster due to the lighter weight. The pictures from TOV and also AWD and more power = more fuel consumption...

I just read this magazine today that just came out with 2009 car comparison and stuff. And it has a page on the 09 TL. Well we know this tl will suck balls just like the new rl and the tsx, but this tl will suck some more balls. Whats not a surprise.

The new RL is fairly good if you look at in in person, so is the TSX. The new TL doesn't look like it will be as big as a hit as the tsx and RL are and were.

Sorry but what magazine? I'm sure there is still a press embargo and I'm curious who is breaking it? You are entitled to you opinion and I don't care one way or another (about yours), I'm only asking about the facts you stated.
