The 2009 TL will be offered in two different packages:
Standard Package Content:
The Standard model is similar to MDX’s rich list of standard features with new luxury amenities and audio capabilities that contribute to the new TL’s added appeal.
Technology Package Content:
The Technology model is similar to the MDX and will continue to “Advance” the image of Acura and includes:
· Acura Navigation System with Voice Recognition with new functionality
· AcuraLink Satellite Communication System
· Acura/ELS Surround Premium 10 Speaker Sound System
· Rear view camera

The Accord trip computer also provides much more detailed information as well. We TL buyers pay $$$$ more and every right to expect at least the same or better functionality, NOT LESS! In today's world of gas pricing, how can they have left this feature out?

Every BMW has had this for at least a decade now.

My '08 TLS sure doesn't have it...if i'm wrong, please provide pics or instructions on how to find it.

Loving my 08 TLS!
My 08 TLS doesn't have this feature either. Only the avg mpg in the trip computer screen. The 08 TSX loaner I drove had this feature, it shows exactly my mpg by how much I push on the gas pedal.

Where are you getting this info from?

Yanks in '08!
I have an 08 TL-S and my MPG indicator adjusts to the speed I'm driving. So if I'm stuck in traffic and driving slow, it drops to 10 MPG. If I'm on the highway driving at a faster speed, it goes back up to 18-20 MPG. Is this what you guys mean by instantaneous? If so, then it does have this feature.

In fact I almost got into an accident because I was stupid for staring at it go up and down when I was cruising at 30 - 35 MPH, hah.

Mixture of the MDX and the new Accord. No surprise there. I like it too.
#62
My 07 TL Base Model does this too. Every couple of minutes , depending on the speed I am going, the avg mpg will change, without having to hold reset or manually clear it. It isn't instantaneous though (it doesn't change as you accelerate if that is what some people are thinking it is supposed to do). I would estimate around 2-5 minutes it changes slightly. One time on the way to Las Vegas it read 44mpg for some time, and then normalized to 28mpg after having to go around slower traffic and hills/curves.

2024 TLX Type-S
Likes:
Trim work
Push-button start
Steering wheel (sad, right?)
Dislikes:
Navi and it's dash hump of a hood
Giant nipple in the center console
Gear shift so damn close to the console (reminds me of my sister's 06 Civic)
Navi and it's dash hump of a hood (again)
Obviously, these are my own opinions. Yours may vary.

Hmm.. well.. couple of ideas
- The nav screen could be replaced with a standard informative LCD screen there [sorta like the current gen; climate control etc. displayed on that screen - like how the current Toyota Avalon is setup - same location, etc. but one has a nav screen, the other just has a basic LCD screen w/ climate / temp control]
- Completely different dash w/o the hump and a completely different radio since the ELS system is said to be part of the nav/tech package

Correct-o; you'll be able to quickly glance at the nav screen [as well as listen to which letter or option you've stopped on]; vs diverting most of your attention to look down and see what the screen says, then pushing the correct button with yer finger

This is similar to what Nissan / Infiniti does. The touchscreens are much better!

The engineer said that the ELS system in the 3G was so clear at high volumes people complained they couldn't crank the audio. He said, what people usually hate is the distortion at high volumes, so people listening to the ELS wanted it to go even louder when they heard little distortion at high volumes. The 400+ watt system with a couple of more speakers was their answer.

You are correct. I have a DTS CD of Sting and it reads it and says DTS on the center display.
The interior on this car.....Anyone see a new EX-L Honda Accord??
