I saw this TL while on vacation

I saw this TL several times while on vacation in a small town south of cancun, mexico. I found it somewhat surprising, since there are very few Acuras in that area. I see other luxury cars there, but not too many acuras.
I found this interesting.

looks like a Canadian Goose decided to let us know how it felt about the grille.

You are right! But what TJ Zooker mean is only the AWD model will get the headlight washer....
Maybe this place they only got the FWD model so they got the washer...

Because it's not a US-model TL. Some foreign markets get other features that US models don't because of the price difference.

Canadian TLs Model:
FWD: no headlight washer (not even in the option list)
AWD: headlight washer (Standard)

"how does the FWD have headlight washers?"
Not because TJ Zooker don't understand that, what we don't understand is how can the FWD get the headlight washers....

wasnt aware there are "mexican" versions of the 4G

Acura is only produced and sold in N.A. (Canada and the United States)

You can obviously export the car to another country... and during exportation, some changes are made...

the CMD 3G TL, was a full bred, North American Made Car... and on exportation, the car got new headlights, taillights & bumpers

I found the Acura website for mexico... They are celebrating their 5th year in Mexico.
All TL all have headlight washers (it may be an option)... and a stiffer price too...

FWD - $48,000 USD
http://www.acura.com.mx/index.php?mar=tl35l

AWD - $54,500 USD
http://www.acura.com.mx/index.php?mar=tl37l

main picture doesn't show the washers on the AWD (3.7TL)

- no NAV
- no XM
- 8 speakers
- 6 CD changer

but the Vista 360 does (360 view)

But the TLs in China only got one model.
Also they don't have the AWD exhaust tips, FWD wheels, but equipped the AWD models front bumper look and only got 200 something HP.
Different area have different specs.....looks like is only the Canadians got everything.
