I am back with my 2012 TL SH-AWD!

I have had a bunch of Acura's and been here a long time! But I am back and I am sure Anakalia is happy too!

2012 Acura TL w/tech SH-AWD

Here are some pics below. We still have our 09 which has been very reliable. I have been looking for a 07-08 TL-S in good shape with low miles but finally gave up on them because I just couldn't locate them anymore in good shape.

pimpin-tl...Congrats on your 2012 TL! I know I am biased here but I love these wheels so much, a very nice finish, nice design and so elegant. You also have an Acura/Acura garagae...mine now houses my 2012 TL and the 2013 RDX both of which are amazing vehicles.

Stunning garage, and what a great choice with the Graphite Luster and dark finish 18" wheels!

Hey pimpin-tl, I saw in the other thread you created that you were trying to decide between a fwd and the awd for the '12, and after looking at the pics, I realized the 09 you have is a fwd model due to the rear exhaust tips. Good choice on the awd for the '12. How do you compare between the two?

The AWD definitely handles better and feels more composed if that is the right word. It feels less bouncy and the steering feels a bit more positive where it isn't as twitchy. So far that is what I have noticed, but haven't driven it that much yet.

Both cars look great. It would be nice to talk my wife into a TL, but unless they make a wagon it would probably be hard to talk it out of the TSX Wagon.
