Somebody at the NY Auto Show post pics when they hear word about what type of car it is!!!
So far, I'm glad I stuck with the 3G Acura TL-S styling.....the way Acura's designers are headed (new RL and TSX design)
, its not looking promising..we'll see though...

I did read somewhere that one of the Acura people stated the new TSX engine bay is large enough to accept a V6 or an I-4 with turbo and piping, so maybe...

^ I doubt its TSX.
Here is what I think it is, from most likely to least likely.
CL coupe
TSX coupe/RSX
TL (assuming its not a coupe, I don't think you can really tell)
NSX

I mean, they're great, but just not up to the task of what they're in, compared to the competition.

wasn't that where the TSX held it's live release? I know they released the TSX a second time today, it's on autoblog. the only difference is that its live.
The huge screen in the background claiming that it's the new 2009 Acura TSX might be a clue as well. I doubt its a TL. Where the hell did the LX 570 part come from?

yea its the blue TSX under the cloak...i put togther that the cloaked supposed "Acura concept coupe" is the same cloaked vehcile i put in the picture above...which explains why i am so livid...i could give a shit less about the TSX especially since me & the rest of the auto world have seen countless live pictures of the 09 TSX...its all good for them to debut it at the auto show but why the cloak? Thats just gay to me...on another note the Lexus stuff is advertisement for whoever hosted the pic lol

^ whatever the hell is under the tarp sure as hell ain't a TSX. It's already been released...twice.
Hopefully (and most likely), thats a TL or a CL.
Edit: oops, obviously its a TSX.

I just hope the TL is more of a bigger TSX than a smaller RL.

I don't know why y'all would think Acura would be stupid enough to debut the TSX AND!!! the TL at the same show. The TL would steal all the TSX's thunder which would defeat the purpose of debuting the TSX in the first place!

I'm not sure why I care so much about seeing the new TL, because I own an '06 and I'm not the sort of person that buys a new car every 3 years. So I'm not gettin one anyway. The only way I'll get to drive the 09 TL is if I get a loaner, which is a real double edge sword, since you just get to see what you're missing.
But my curiosity keeps me coming back. Maybe it's morbid curiosity, because I'm expecting that they will mess up the styling with that horrid grille, which will just make me happier I have an '06.

This article popped up on my Google news search. Para 3 states the TL is to be unveiled "later this year".
BTW, the highest reader count I got was 77.
