pokin...I agree that they seem to play around with the mask don't they?! One thing you will notice is how small the headlights seem with respect to the rest of the car...keep this in mind when the mask comes off...that was the one thing that I said to myself when isaw them...Woohh they are tiny!! Though, after seeing these camoed pics, it may not be as bad as what it was a while back as I saw these about 2-3 months ago....

Notice the DRL's next to the fogs. I tried to find a pic with the MDX's headlights on, but I couldnt find one. I'd imagine that is what they are doing with the TL, but not sure.

Uhh, not really. Hated the 09 TSX during the spy pics. I thought it would look better in person but it looked worse in person with the Saturn Grill and the bloated nissan altima design.
I really think Acura is going down the drain.

In fact, it looks like they went with reflector DRL's in the 09 model, rather than projectors. Which, of course, makes no sense to me...

Let's see why - underpowered (TSX), same 5-speed transmission that gave me fits on my 2004 TL, 2005 RL, and 2007 TSX (not to mention 2008 RSX), and "bloated" looking.
White isn't the best color for hidding the 2009 TSX's vast dimensions.

Yep, that's it.
All the other Photos on the last 3 or 4 pages of Test Mules are really just DECOYS to fool the morons.
Wait. Scratch that. Reverse it. Carry on.

Acura, for the love of God, please release actual photos of the new TL so this pic will die a quick and suitably painful death.

You guys are harsh! The photochoped pictures are starting to grow on me more then the car in the spy photos. Irregardless, I do not believe the 2009 TL will look that much different then the photochop. Maybe the grill and lights will be different but generally speaking, I think it is a valid indicator how the tl will look.We will see in a few weeks.

Check out this pic closely. It appears that the bumper lights are the turn signals and foglights. The upper light looks like the turn signal because the mirror signal is lit with the upper bumper light in amber. I guess the headlights only house the projectors, DRLs and parking lights.

I know alot of people don't like it, but hey, its a car. It has four wheels, four doors, a trunk and a hood. You can only design a car certain way until they all start looking a like.

I can't tell if your kidding or just out to lunch.
If you're serious, checkout the Trim Level Color Chart.

No Type-S.
As a matter of fact BOTH the 2G and 3G TL-S were not released until the 3rd or 4th production year. Why change now?
So unless you've got some kind of compelling story and/or evidence, I say

Oh yea, on the other question you asked about the car you JUST leased... Nope, breaking a lease is not simple and yes, it will cost you AT LEAST $5,000 to get out of it early so that you could consider getting a 2009. Sorry, but the POINT to a lease is to stick you with RENTING a car for the period of the lease. There is absolutely NO incentive for a dealer to "take back" a leased car you have only have for a couple of months. Haven't you heard the fact that you loose money the INSTANT you drive the car off the lot?

Okay i was just mistaken, but when the 09 TL's comes out will it only offer 6mt, i hope it offers 5at. And if it comes out in 2010, or 2011 my lease will be over and i can get the 09 tl's=)

Automatic (5At) is the ONLY option coming in 09.
Manual (6mt) is coming in 2010.
