You should post the names of the dealers - but not the names of the persons you spoke with.

In the first place, it's not a great selling car. Last quarter sales were off by better than 8%. I like the exclusivity, although some areas of the country would disagree.
I just looked up the roster in the NY Times, and it doesn't seem to be anywhere to be found....just the TSX.

Here are the dealers that advised it will be at the show

Precision Acura - Princeton, NJ
Hall Acura - Virginia Beach
Hall Acura - Newport News, VA
Open Road Acura - one of the brunswicks...in NJ lol
Davis Acura - Langhorne, PA

It's obviously not going to be the production model though because it's likely not to be released until October. I believe the "unvieling" would actually be tonight as I think they are doing a black tie event similar to the one in Philadelphia.

edit: I'm actually pissed at this moment because they have the tsx listed as debut on the autoshow website and not the TL... I'm going to give the dealers a call right now.. I just talked to these people last week. The tsx looks fugly as hell... Mazda anyone?

I think your dealer friends meant the TSX. No offense.

I will point out that when Honda redesigned the Accord last year, it was NOT at the NY auto show.
We probably won't see anything until the summer
ah, but the 3g TL was.

^^ why would they say it's GOING to be released if it already HAS been released though?

I think it's just dealers trying to get you excited and coming back to their store.

The 2009 TL will have SH-AWD (at least as an option) and the redline is higher than the current Type-S. I've seen the new gauges already

Impossible to tell the difference. If I had a chance to see the new TL before everyone else, as much as I would like to, I couldn't just go out and proclaim the guy who showed me the car and get him fired. If I was just a dude "adding fuel to this anticipation fire" you couldn't tell the difference.

no...this is JUST the gauge, and even that has not started mass production yet.

McLovin: don't worry, that one will not make it to a production car.

I'm not asking for the name, phone number, address, and social security number for his source, but it's hard to take that claim seriously considering anonymity of an online forum.

A lot of credibility has been added to his original post, assuming he's telling the truth.

It's what I was told when I was making it, but I don't have any real proof. \

Thanks for the info. Were you able to see what the new, higher redline is since you put the gauges together?

TSX and RL are the only Acura models being introduced at the NY show.

By the way, the cockpit of the new TSX looks like the RL/M35. Hoepfully the dash of the new TL will be just as cool.

This article on the TSX states that the TSX is "still not as long or tall as the TL, but the made-in-Japan TSX is now 0.2 in. wider than its V6-powered brother."

I assume they're speaking of the 3G TL. Wonder how wide the 4G TL is going to be? My guess: sexy wide!

When they debut, they're ready to SELL!
That means they will very shortly be on the showroom floors
Production is sometimes 6 months before the debut, if not longer.

You must not venture to The Dark Side of Acurazine very often...





So are there any other major auto shows between now and the fall?

Just came back from the NY auto show. Confirmed, There is no 4G TL. I dont understand why Acura couldnt release a concept version to give us a taste on what it looks like. Looks like they missed a great opportunity to generate buzz and pre-sales on the car.
