4G TL Color Options SH-AWD Confirmed!

Just found this on TOV, if you look at the chart they listed it for the TL and SH-AWD

below it says "The all new 2009 Acura TL may have 9 exterior colors and 4 leather colors to choose..."

sick, can't wait to see the Polished Metal metallic with some rims. Still, the Million dollar question is will it have a MT transmission or not offered with the SH AWD...

No. They confirmed there would be no MT, at least for a few years. I believe they said by 2010 they would offer a MT in the SH-AWD TL.

What really pisses me off is the fact that they have the color options out, but no vehicle to see it on. This is the opitomy of teasing!

At least this puts away the few remaining doubters who still question if the 09 TL will be offered with awd. SH-AWD is all but confirmed.

Hmmm ..... WDP w/Umber?




No more NBP. Wonder how much different the "new blakc" is?

What color is Grigio?

Mostly dark colors except "white" and "silver". No light bronze/gold; no bright colors (red, blue). The red and bronze look very dark (unless it's my monitor ??).

Why does Acura share body paint colors with Honda?

It is very, very annoying that Acura cars continue to share body paint colors with Honda.

These colors for the TL are also available for the current Honda Accord: Basque Red, White Diamond Pearl, Royal Blue Pearl and Polished Metal.

If Acura is serious about being a luxury brand, and not just a tarted up Honda, they need to pay attention to these details!!!

You don't find Infiniti sharing colors with Nissan, or Lexus sharing colors with Toyota.

Mayan Bronze pearl, I wish the current TL was offered in that color.

*edit*

SH-AWD doesn't impress me all that much, because I'm just fine with the FWD, I'm more impressed that they have more color options!

Are you saying that the rumor/news that states MT+SH-AWD for MY2010 is no more true?

NBP has a blue-ish tone when a light source hits it. I'm guessing Crystal black pearl will be have a greyish tone to it

Are you saying "they" confirmed there would be no MT on a SH-AWD model or no MT on ANY model for a few years ?
If so what is the source of these facts ?
I have not seen anything definite that says there will NOT be a MT.

CBP is flat black with little diamond like flecks mixed it. It is available in the TSX and RDX now.

Actually, Infiniti and Nissan both offer Platinum Graphite (M, G35, etc. and Murano).

If this is true it will look very much similiar to the BMW 3series Black with greyish pearl. Personally I like the current NBP with the bluish pearl in there over a greyish pearl.

How different is the black in CBP that not having NBP would kill you (or Acura for that matter)?

I'm surprised no one has said anything about the Mayan color or whatever - that looks like it'd be really nice looking

No difference. To the masses Black = Black.


Saleman: "Hi Folks, welcome to High-Tone Acura. What are you interested in seeing?"

Buyer: "Got anything in Black?"







Now White on the other hand ...... well, lets jsut say that WDP and Alpine White are the only two Whites worth owning.
