it really grows on me... 4GTL

As You probably know I own a 3G TL WDP with some mods and I live in POland but right know I am in NYC. Today I have visited few dealers Acura of Manhattan and one on Brooklyn and Long Island and every time I saw the new TL it was better.

The grill itself does not look as bad as cigar cutter but the end is horrible. Why thera are no LEDs?

The interior is far way better than RL's. I LOVE IT.

I drive Honda cars from 13 tears already, had many of them and 3G TL is my first Acura. I wanted to have always better and nicer car but I do not know if I would spend aprox 48k for a TL. To much money.


But over all it is much nicer in person, - that was my goal of writing the thread because I was first NOsayer...

The TL is not $48K. The most expensive TL is the SH-AWD version with Tech and 19" wheels/tires for $43,995 (w/dest). So, do you drive your TL in Poland?

Me too

Sorry guys, few words in Polish now. Witaj bracie! Ja tez jestem z Polski i tez jezdze tylko Hondami a moim nastepnym autem ma byc Acura. Teraz to juz w ichnim jezyku, zeby sie za bardzo nie zdenerwowali. ;-)

I am from Poland too and I have had 2 Hondas so far (accord '96 and accord '01). My next car will be Acura TL MT with tech and HPT- have to wait at least a year for it, I know, but I will. Acura doesn't have dealers in Europe so far so I have to import TL on my own. Can you imagine that it will cost me 65-70K $
Taxes, taxes and once again taxes - that's why it will cost me so much. Of course I have considered other options (even BMW M5 - used car is in this price range here - Poland is a Germany's neighbour). But I think I don't need 500+HP, 300+HP is enough, and I need Acura's reliability and SH-AWD - that's why I will buy Acura. I like TL's interior; exterior at least can be accepted. (And sorry for my poor English)

welcome!!

you will be turning a lot of heads from driving such a rare car (exotic!!)

the reliability is great with acura's just make sure you keep up with the maintenance,

it is also very important to change the differential oil in the sh-awd when needed

Post some pics of your home town if you can... europe is so beautiful!
