I had a 2004 RRP TL... Loved that car - but the predictable transmission and rattle problems became a major headache for me. So when I had to move to PA and I realized the TL wouldn't be a viable option I purchased a Ridgeline.

I loved the Ridgeline, and seriously doubt that I could have made it through last winter without it. (Lived in the boondocks), and February the Ridgeline got my pregnant wife and I safely back to Ohio after receiving 2ft of snow and every major road was shut down due to ice / trees / power lines being down. Seriously, every publication underestimates this truck with a proper setup of snow tires it's a tank.

After the birth of our son, and buying a house back in Ohio this fall I now was commuting a sum of 110 miles a day (all highway). The Ridgeline was decent, but at the end of the day it was just boring.

Long story short at the end of October I pulled the trigger on a SH-AWD TL. Love this car, and the refinement over the 3rd Gen TL is like night and day. I've only had the car for a week, but it's got well over 1000 miles so far.

So without further ado I give you pictures.

First the new WDP SH-AWD (body kit is going on this weekend)









The Ridgeline:







The 3rd Gen RRP





Color-matched ZKW with a custom Black with RRP paint for the bezel around the lens






I can't wait to get my hands into this car....

One thing I am disappointed in Acura in doing is moving backwards and getting rid of the Bi Xenon.

More pictures will come... but for now, I've got to get her in winter mode.

Very nice. Congratulations and enjoy!

Congratulations. The thing with me about the 3G and 4G is along the same line with your thought they're like night and day...to me it's like they are 2 different cars completely or the 4G is a drastic engineering advancement over the 3G. Just makes me wonder how a 5G will be.

Congratulations! What a beautiful color - every time I see a WDP 4G TL, I kinda sometimes secretly in a way wished that I had got that color instead.... it's gorgeous! What color is your interior?

It's a GREAT car. You are going to really LOVE it!

congrats on the new 4G!

but i gotta say that RRP with color matched head lights is my favorite.

Thanks guys!

I love the WDP too... not to crazy about the paint mis-match on the bumpers though. Going to ask my dealer about that this weekend.

ostrich - I opted for the ebony interior. I liked the parchment, but given how much time I spend in my car I felt ebony would hide the scuffs and imperfections / dirt better in the long run.

jnc2000, to be honest with you, the color mismatch between the bumper and the body was the biggest reason why I did not go with WDP.... but beyond that, it really is one of the very best colors for the 4G TL!!! And this is coming from a guy who does not usually go for white cars!!! :-)

Ebony interior is nice. Taupe is nice too, and umber is even better - have you seen that WDP and umber combo? OMG, it's something else!!!
