WOW! White with umber - one of the very best colour combos!!! Congrats! It looks absolutely beautiful! The US owners will be envious because this combo is only available in Canada :-)

Congrats !

Like you see I have a 2009 Grigio/Umber , but they don't offer this combo for 2012. If, I'll change it (just thinking..) I'll go with your combo.

thank you everyone, there is so much to read on all the tech things like navi etc... it s a certain fun in a part, but a bit long to learn everything.

i remenber that the Els sound system was good, but now i can compare it to those i have in the g37 (bose), and TL wins without hesitation. plus i have some dvd-audio that i kept when i had my 2005 and 2007 Tl.

i didn t find a dvd audio demo, did you received yours with the car or received it by mail few weeks after buying your car ?

Yes, Congrats and it is a beauty. Wish we had the umber option here. I might have chosen it over the Ebony in my 2010 WDP Tech.

Congrats on the new ride! She is very beautiful and yes, I am jealous of the umber seats!! I'd swap mine out in a heartbeat if Acura would let me!

Enjoy your new baby!

I didn't ask the salesman, but i f i remenber on my 2007 TL i received it by mail, like one month later. May be it's like that only in Canada.

But for sure there is a demo DVD-A with a good mix of music, it's great to have it.

Great looking car inside and out. The inside color is great!!!!! When I got my 2011, I had to ask about the DVD-A. No one at the dealership seemed to know anything about it. The General Manager found one in his desk and gave it to me. You really can't believe how great the sound system is till you hear that disc.

Actually i owned the two cars G37X and this TL, so with the snow we have i can compare the awd system. And by chance they have exactly the same snow tires TOYO GARIT

TL is safer for sure, when turning the g37X was slidding easily, may be too much, it is fun but not as safe as the TL.

It's incredible how the system work, you can really feel how the rear exterior wheel put you back in the good track

The G37x is a rear bias awd system. All wheel drive mode kicks in when wheels are already slipping. So don't expect it to perform better than the TL SH-AWD in the snow.

I love it! I think the umber interior gives the car a classy look where the ebony interior gives it a sporty look. You actually get the best of both worlds with your color combination.

sebounet >> white with umber interior?? naw dude... terrible terrible combination... you should get rid of it and get a graphite with taupe.... i will generously trade you mine for yours...

I wish if we had this combo, i would have got it in a heart beat.... we got umber only in advance package, which really sucks....

Congrats on your purchase buddy. You got yourself a sweet ride. Enjoy it to the fullest. I have mine for exactly 3 months today, and I still love mine like I did on day 1.

Great looking car !!! This again proves that Acura should expand the exterior/interior color offerings. They offer no variety at all. How many silver,white, and graphite cars can we see? Acura really has to let us be more unique in what we drive.

Congrats on the car. Glad to see there is no mismatch between the bumpers and the body.

Agree. I personally would like to see a red (deep red rather than a bright red) leather interior option.

Rear splash guards are an dealer installed option in Canada, and require extra money.

Yes, and i don't need it, i don't have it on my last cars for 10 years ( 6 cars). Sure they could help for stone and dirt, but i don't keep my cars for a long time.

And i don't think it add something nice for the look, my opinion

Automagic save my left leg in traffic, and i use the car all day long , since i m a salesman. But i agree, although it's a good transmission it's not an F1 transmission. But does a pretty good job for every day trip

i have added some pictures here

2012 TL SH AWD TECH, Bellanova White, Umber

Hello

I think it would be nice, even if it's a double post to put some picture here. Because when i was shopping for my car it was difficult to find some pictures, so in the picture forum it's a good place. I will take more pictures later, when the weather will permit

Thanks, Sebounet2005! Love the colour combo and photos. I see that there is not much snow there in Montreal at all. Hope you are enjoying the snow-free weather! Calgary is unseasonably warm too. Happy 2012!

Thank you

Yes we had 2 days of rain, so the small amount of snow has melted. Winter are so long sometimes, that we enjoy some no snow winter.

Happy new year
