Any sighting of 4G TL in NE Ohio?

I am pretty disappointed that I have not seen a single 4G TL on the road in NE Ohio at all! I have seen plenty of them in the dealership though!!! Sigh... while I have seen a few 08 TSX (mostly black ones) and quite a few 09 A4 already, I have yet to see a single 4G TL. Is it just me? Or are they just not selling well in NE Ohio???

I haven't seen any anywhere in California or during my time in texas. I just don't think the 09's are selling very well. This is backed up by what my buddy at the dealership tells me.

I'm from northern CA and have yet to see one. I took a road trip to los angeles yesterday and was sure I was gonna see at least one driving 6 hours on the freeway...but guess what, still waiting...I saw plenty of 3Gs though. Yah I'm disappointed but I'm sure we'll see plenty in the future. I've gotten excited seeing a few 09 TSX thinking that it was a TL from afar...I get what Acura is trying to do with the signature grille...you defintely know its an Acura and to me, thats a good thing.

Why would want to see someone else driving your car? I see at LEAST three or four 3G TL's a day! In SoCal, the 3G is now like the Honda Accord there's one around every corner, so I really am grateful not to see another 4G! At least that's my take on it.

Guys, realistically it's gonna take at least 12-18 months to start seeing these on the road...think of the odds right now. When the CTS came out, I didn't see one for at least 6 months. There's just not enough out there yet. The TL's aren't flying out the door for obvious economic reasons. Give it time, this beast will be the talk of the town by January next year. The more I see and drive this car, the more I'm growing to LOVE it! The SH-AWD is an aldrenaline pumper to drive!

I've seen two thus far. One in Twinsburg, driving back towards Hudson. And the second I saw in North Canton yesterday morning... Both were WDP. I was at the local dealer (Park Acura) earlier this week and somebody was taking delivery of an 09 PM w/ tech.

Head down I-71. . . . .

I think I've seen 2. One by my work in Fairlawn and one down the street from work in Bath.

Come warm weather season we may see more.

Hey tidus888, where do you service your TL? I'm at Downtown Acura. If you're ever around, drop me a line and we'll take a demo out for a spin!

Thanks for all of your reports! It's great to see some fellow NE Ohioans here! :-)

BTW, when I checked the inventory of Park Acura, Motorcars Acura and Boyland Acura online, none of them had many SH-AWD TL's at all, but they all had tons of FWD TL's. I wonder if they did not stock many of them, or were most of them sold?

I kind of like the fact that I DON'T see any other 4Gs. In a sea of non-descript sedans and SUVs, it's cool to have something that gets peoples' attention. The parking lot at work has five Camrys (most beige) and several SUVs. The gym has at least four Audis on a regular basis.

Don't expect to see a ton of 4Gs real soon. The auto makers are announcing sales numbers next week and the numbers are expected to be down 30 - 40%.

I've seen two 09s in the past two weeks in the DFW area.
