SH-AWD engine too noisy?
I have read some reviews about 2009 TL SH-AWD. Some of them mentioned that the engine noise was kind louder than the base TL. Is it too noisy? How bad it is? Is it noisier than Infinity G35?
Thanks,
Thanks,

i really can't hear it at all in the car, but i did notice it this morning when i started the car and had to get out to get my cell. its not loud, but reminds me of the sound of my former lexus is350 that had direct injection.

The AWD models come with a louder exhaust than the FWD cars. Acura intentionally tuned the exhaust on the AWD cars to sound "sportier." Personally, I love it!

People (or car mags) used to criticize the TL as being too quiet for a sports luxury sedan, so like what others have said Acura tuned the new model a bit louder.
