Finally
I must say, this is a lot sooner than I saw a new 2009 TSX or RL after their respective launches. Speaking of which, I have only seen like 5 or 6 TSXs & 1 RL thus far ....

Might have been the same car. I was out by RDU when I saw it. Was on the other side of 540 & it was at night so it could have been silver.

Wow, I saw not 1 but 2 4G TL's on my way in to work this morning! I was so excited when I saw the first one. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the second. The first one was a Mayan Bronze Metallic. I couldn't tell what color the second was as I only saw it in my side mirror. I want to say either Grigio or Polished Metal.

I really liked how the 2 chrome strips on top of the car came down the back windshield but did not stay flush w/ the glass, they stuck out when they got to the trunk making like little "walls". It is nothing fancy but it is something unique. Here is a picture of what I'm talking about ... look down the left side of the rear glass:

Just saw one north of Boston
I have only seen 1 maybe 2
at 1st rapid/almost missed it glance the new TSX almost makes you think it was a TL you just saw (tsx from the front at a certain angle)
2nd what color was the TL you saw?
3rd what color is your car?
4 was it a fwd or SH?
service writer said you can recognize the tech tls by the rear spoiler as has the rear view camera
so
5 tech or not?
6 last what part of the country?

It was an 09 TL SH-AWD Tech package.
Color White Diamond Pearl with black interior.
Driving northbound on Rt. 114 thru Peabody and Middleton, Mass.
Looked absolutely gorgeous!

Just saw a grey (polished metal?) AWD TL in Culver City, at about 5pm on Overland traveling south. I tried to pull up next to the driver but he turned left before I could make eye contact. He looked about 30'ish, and no mods to the car, as it had dealership logo's on plate, but I couldn't see the which dealer it was.

I was out yesterday in Calabasas driving my new white TL and a new black TL blew past me on the 101. I got closer and saw the chrome on the truck was black like the rest of the car. Still had Acura 101 plates. Tinted windows and the male driver was in a hurry!

I have seen one here in Dublin, California - Polished Metallic without license plates. Thus far this is the only one I've seen on the road and we are about 1.5 miles for the Acura of Pleasanton dealership.

Hey Becky, I hope to at least get a glimpse of you and your TL driving around town. Everyone in this area is so uptight, especially the haters! I got the FWD black/ebony with ugly stock rims, no tint, mud flaps and painted grille and bumper. I got Flawless Finish coming wed. morning to a detail! Holla!

2 More
2 weeks ago I saw a black 1 in my 'hood; I think it belongs to 1 of my neighbors who lives in the back which is still under construction. Could not tell what type of 2009 TL it was.
Last week I was stuck in traffic due to the Duke game & was right behind a blue FWD.
So far all 3 that I have spotted were driven by middle aged men.

I havn't seen one 09 TL (Houston, TX) until yesterday when I saw first one at Houston Medical center, and saw 2 on the way back from work today, and found out my co-worker had just bought one today!!! Dang after waiting since september, I got to see 4 09 tl's in just 2 days, and they were all silver. It looks so much better in person!! I'm in love with it!!

None of it in beijing, china. Acura China made a price of 80000 US Dollars of a base TL with Tech package, I heard only two were sold till now, but have not seen one on the road.

Durham
Yes, I am in the Durham area ... I guess you are no longer around?
Back on Topic: while stuck behind the 2009 TL, I do think that they could have made the tail lights (& head lights) bigger. Everything else on the vehicle is enormous so it would have flowed better IMHO.

I saw a basque red pearl fwd tech that a patient drove in. She said it was there third TL and that it was her favorite by far. She was in her late fifties, and fairly well to do.

I can not tell the difference of the face between US version and "chin version", it looks same.
(can not post a picture now?
)

Differences
The only obvious thing I really notice is that the Chinese version does not have the orange in the head lights. I remember the current RL also had orange in the headlights of the US version but not elsewhere which got white.
The US verion has silver around the fog lights whereas the Chinese version puts it around the turn blinker.
I am not sure what that squarish thing is under the Chinese head light tho.

I quickly saw a WDP this morning going the opposite way of me in Woodland Hills, CA at about 9:30am? The owner was female, with short hair, I'd say mid 40's? (sorry for guessing your age). I didn't have a chance to see what model it was, I think the grill was still silver and stock rims? Beckyboo was that you? If so, looking good baby!

And I'm positive DrEvil777 works in Burbank! I saw a new TL Sh-Awd with painted grill in the parking garage on a doctor's office I was visiting. Looked great with the chrome blackened.
