From the pics on LeftLanenews.com it looks like only the sh-awd gets the turn signals in the side mirrors. Red car has it (sh-awd) black car doesn't (base).

I thought (could be wrong) that mirror mounted signals were a gov't mandated feature, effective sometime in the next couple of years?

If so, it doesn't make sense to put 'em on only 1 trim level. Taped off maybe??

I noticed that as well. To me, they'd have to be taped off. Doesn't the current base TL have them, as well as the TL-S? Thats definately a feature that I like.

I'm thinking it is the re-design equivalent of the Maxima. Oh, and speaking of the Maxima, do you guys here like the new design?
I do, they borrowed some line and curves from the G35. It is way better then the 08 body style. Bascially a wanna-be G35.

They all copy each other. Don't make it sound like it's some crime committed by Honda. Every company is guilty of it. Honda Hyundai Accord Sonata anyone?

Good observation! I didn't notice that one car had it and the other car didn't. Good call.

C'mon man. It's a box with 4-wheels, an engine, lights and windows. It has to be moderatly aerodynamic, room for 4 or 5 and weigh 3,500 - 4,000 pounds.

Start optimizing those and EVERYBODY ends up in pretty much the same place.

IOW - there is NO totally unique design. Just a few styling cues to call your own - like a hang tooth grille and a 5-pointed rear spoiler. :lol:

Based upon this pic, it does look like the black 1 does not have the turn signals:
http://images.leftlanenews.com/conte...08/tl-25-3.jpg


However, this 1 w/ the dual exhaust shows that it has it.
http://images.leftlanenews.com/content/may2008/tl-1.jpg


This 1 w/ the quad exhaust does not have them. Maybe they are taping up the side turn signals on some of the cars?

+2 on that statement. Man what a disappointment. I was a little nerveous getting my 08 Type-S before seeing what the 4G TL would look like, but now I am so glad I got mine when I did. Huge difference between the 3G and the 4G TL. The 3G looks so much more sportier. When you add the A-Spec wheels and kit, doesn't even come close to the 4G TL. Now I know there will be other models of the 4G, but damn they better do some back end work and fix those tail lights. No thanks.

Maybe some have a tech option and this is one of the things that come with it. Maybe?

but even my 07 tsx has turn signals in the mirror. I just find it odd that its not a standard option.

Agree. It's taped off is my bet.

I must be the only one that hates the turn signals on the side mirros.... I think they're a pretty tacky addition IMO.

they used to be cool back in the day .... but i agree that they are now unoriginal and overdone (primarily to aftermarket mirrors)

I kinda like them, plus I think it adds an extra safety measure as well and it looks cool to me.

They're on the TSX 'cause it's the Euro Accord and they are gov't mandated in Europe as a safety featue.

I am *almost* positvie that there is similar gov't mandate here that will soon be in effect - just like seat belts and ABS - *everybody* will have them.

It's dumb to think they put 'em on the TSX, the '07/'08 TL AND TL-S and they are taking them off of *one* '09 trim level.

Can you say ..... "camouflage"? Come on, say it with me: "camo ..... flage". If you're having trouble just say, "camo", and we'll know what you mean.

Yea I too think the side mirror turn signals are just ok looking..but the fact that they are a extra safety feature is nice. I do notice when I'm coming up beside a car it is easier to see where they are going if they have them or the side marker turn signals on their fenders...of course this is only 20% of the time because people around here don't use turn signals.

At this moment I don't see anything that will make me regret buying my 3G TL earlier this month, but then this new car will probably grow on me like the new MDX has. Fortunately i might be ready to add another car to the garage by then.

Ok looking at all those photo's I can tell there is def. a light on the mirrors on all of the cars. For some dumb reason though they only taped off the black ones. If you look closely though you can tell there is still a light there.

cbus: just to put an image with what you're saying...
look at the tape job on the mirror in this picture.. you can clearly see its covering something up...

another thing to note, IDK if its been mentioned - no side markers..

I only live here, I am not from here! And I am in Huntsville, most people in Huntsville are not from here! So no redneck spelling jokes "yall".

Staying on track with the thread, the trunk on the car looks like it would be really hard to fit much of anything in (large suitcase, golf clubs even).

If the resemblance is the trunk, than this 4g TL's trunk line is less sloped and way nicer than the solara is.

The new TL will look like something. What else can they do? I just hope its pretty quick and good looking. By the photoshop picture it looks pretty good. I am just wondering why they don't offer a manual with SH-AWD. And a coupe would be awesome. I only need comfort for 2.

Yes urban is a race. When the white news media mentions about urban areas as an example they mean a large demographic of a certain group which happens to be black.
