2009 TL Interior Pics

FYI, not sure if this is a repost: http://www.vtec.net/forums/one-messa...item_id=779551


As mentioned in the vtec.net thread, the car is "probably" not a US spec one.

Cheers,

Do not care for the central button radio control!!! I love the touch screen. Just had a RDX as a loaner and HATED the radio controls! I will be keeping my 3rd gen for some time!

That looks like a weird Accord interior. Not a fan. Again, like the outside, too many shapes for the sake of having shapes.

I like it too!

Couple of questions;
1. It looks like they forgot the butt print issues from the 04' TLs
2. I'm not sure if I love the aluminum on both the driver and passenger sides

Overall the interior aint bad. I love that steering wheel! But the center stack, not as much. I usually don't mind all the buttons, but there's just something odd about this design. At least it looks like there's a lot of nice materials and quality. And finally Acura gave us keyless entry with push button start!

I think the 4G TL looks much better in these shots than the golf course ones.

I wonder if I am liking these shots because it's in white.

Once again.. I fall inlove with my 07 TL. I must admit the white color is giving the car a nicer line that the other greyishcolor. But th interior sucks

I would guess that the HDD drive means so.

The folder button could be for the USB port when using a flash drive and not necessarily a HDD (though that would be nice...)

3rd interior pic... looks like there's also a new place to stash some stuff right around where your right shin/knee would be.
Tiptronic does appear to be gone in this model.. but seem to now feature the flappy-paddle-gear-box [ew I want 6spd or more].
Noticed a 3rd 'blank/empty' button. I wonder if that'll be used for anything in the SH-AWD or American model.
Also there seems to be some sort of small compartment thing by the passenger seat where the center-silver-trim comes down by [next to the gear-stick].

For sure I don't like the theme of the gauges. I love the o4 Gauges.....

I don't think that's a touch screen navigation - it's set too far deep into the dash. Unfortunately, I bet there's a clear plastic shield a few inches over the actual screen like the new TSX. All the navigation controls were via that control knob and other dash buttons only. When I drove the new TSX for a week as a loaner, there was a lot of glare in the daytime on that plastic cover screen, making it very hard to see the navigation screen.

You're right Yakuza-it is not a touch screen. That big button right above the stick shift is the navigatin/OK button for the touchscreen.

CL6 said the interior looks like an Accord. It DOES look like an Accord interior. You know, if Acura is suppose to be the upscale model for Honda, and I'm paying more for this than a Honda, I sure as hell don't want it to look anything like a Honda. I want it to look better.

Nice to see Acura replicated the TSX interior on the quality front.

Overall a very well executed design that looks inspired by the cockpit of a fighter jet.

Hard disk drive more than likely.

Not only that, but it BETTER have an instantaneous MPG indicator like the Accord Navi has. For the last 5 years, this is something the Accords with Nav have had while we TL buyers have paid more for a dumb average for the tank MPG indicator.

Notice what look to be the driver and passenger window switches mounted on the dash? Really odd location for window controls. I'm interested to see how this feels.

No XM radio in China, therefore no roof mounted antenna.

I just noticed the Dolby Digital, DVD and DTS logos. Does this mean the radio can play DVD movies? Seems odd to me that they would include the DTS decoder unless the system was designed for DVD playback.

Have you been in an 07-08 TL? They have it. It is part of the information display in the instrument cluster.
