2009 TL Pictures? ***NEW PICS ON PAGE 44***

I'm sure there are a few pictures of the "supposed" 09 TL in the 40 page thread, but let's narrow this down to mainly pictures only.

Acura needs to release some pics/shots. they don't have to show full frontal, but at least something without the shroud.

Well, the TSX looks pretty similar with the cover on to how it looks now...




That grill outline on the covered TL is really screaming big fat grill. I just hope it looks good and comes in 6-speed!

I still think it's funny how the RL was wearing big-grill camo, and it came out with big grill.

Then the TSX came out with big-grill camo, and walahhh - it's got a big grill.

Now everyone for some reason seems to think that the TL isn't going to have this big grill? I think some people need to come to grips with the fugly, and hope it grows on us. In the meantime, I will stick to pimping out my 3G until I get it just right.

If you look closely you can see the new style grill circled in yellow. It also appears to have a similar front bumper to the 3g; two openings and no center opening.

While the C&D photo may just be a photochop, it could possibly be very similar to the 4g face. Remember how similar the TSX and 3g TL looked when they came out?

And personally I think there's no hope for the TL's styling. The MDX is ugly. The TSX is ugly. The RL is ugly. the Accord is ugly. there's no way the TL will look good.

Just refresh or press enter on the address bar and the images will show up. vtec.net does not allow hot-linking.

When I cut and paste them in a new browser window they work fine. The link is correct, but TOV doesn't like the "hot linking" I guess.

Guys, come on-OF COURSE the grill on the new TL is going to be that ugly one. The RL has it, the TSX has it, heck even the new Honda's even have a version of it. The more you wish it DOESN'T have that grill, the more disappointed you'll be when the new TL finally comes out.

I'm not buying any of the speculation with regard to the spy shots. For all we know those pics of the white one, and the black one at night from a while back are nothing but 3G bodies with a revamped front end sitting on the 4GL chassis. I wouldn't put it past Acura to intentionally mislead and misdirect.
Like it or not, we're going to have to wait until Acura decides they want us to see it.

hmmm...if those expressway spy shot are the real thing, I think the rear may have been murdered as well. But hard to tell though.

Wow, you just reminded me of this 07/08 TL-S I saw last week parked near my office. I don't know what the owner was thinking but he/she had front AND rear brush guards mounted. I swear! I wish my phone had a camera. I really wanted to take a pic and post it up for everyone here to see. It was horrible!
