"The 2009 G-series sedan will be upgraded with the 3.7-liter VQ37VHR V6. Exact output has yet to be confirmed, but the document rates the 3.7-liter V6 at 320+ hp, with power sent to a seven-speed automatic transmission."

This has NOTHING to do with the 2009 TL...

 

What do you mean it "has nothing to do with the TL?"

The G35/37 is a direct competitor to the TL and is therefore a relevant topic.

It's so relevant, in fact, that I will likely buy one.


Infiniti uses real brake rotors in their products, they offer AWD and their engines have more balls than the Honda/Acura counterparts.

Look at the brakes that new Infiniti will have:

■ 4-piston front and 2-piston rear calipers, with 14-inch front and
13.8-inch rear disc brakes

Acura will still be playing around with 11" rotors while virtually everyone else is using 14" rotors...

That G37 AWD will likely be available for $40K with some dealing. That's a helluva' good bargain for such a car. My biggest issue with it is the bLose stereo, which is junk.

 

wow...G37 sedan?!...I hate to admit it, but thus far from what I can see...
2009 G37 > 2009 TL

 

we need to all drive to acura's headquarters and give everyone of them idiots palm sized mushroom stamps. god every other car is lookin so good

 

For the record, does anyone have any hard facts about the TL? HP numbers? Uncamoed pics? NO ....when they come out then do comparisons...until then....

 

The HP wars are going to be on it's dying days. Gas is $4 for unleaded. It can easily be $5 by the end of the summer. Even though reportedly this car will be a seven speed, it's still gonna be a gas hog. It will be lucky to get 22mpg combined.

I have an 05 TL and love it, which I bought new. I plan on keeping it for a while. When I'm ready to change, the next car will be decently powered (sub 300hp). The most important thing will be the creature comforts. A decent ride. A handsome look. I'll leave the the HP/Torque wars to the race-boys.

 

Seriously, go buy it. I don't understand why people would post it and think Honda/Acura is going to add more horse power. Btw HP doesn't = a faster car. Great it has a 320+ hp and what? Nothing else to offer besides a bigger brakes. Don't expect acura to be putting out with 320+ hp on the TL.

 

This forum is for the 4G TL. If you want to compare then feel free to start a thread in Car Talk..
