TL is actually pretty photogenic

Hello!! I was really bored today so I decided to snap some pics of the mom's TL. I have to say that I am quite surprised at how good the TL looks in pictures, especially considering she hasn't washed the car in over 2 months lol. Just wanted to share!

My 2009 TSX
































God I love this car. The more I drive it, the more reluctant I am to get back into my TSX. SH-AWD is phenomenal, 300 horses is a blast, less rattles, superb handling, beautiful interior, much more roomy, amazing sound system, hydraulic e-brake and the list goes on....but I hate driving auto's haha.

Love the peanut butter leather (I think that's what they call it)!!! When I was searching for my TL I seen some M35/M45's with that color interior. Beautiful ride!!

^^ Super Handling. They are not joking.

As for the exterior difference, only between FWD and AWD.

Thanks everyone for the comments.

The lights below the bumper is also different. The AWD version has vents that direct the air to the brakes for cooling. You will notice that on FWD versions, the light extends all the way to the middle.

The AWD model also has (fake) quad exhaust tips, while the FWD version has duals.

- Brake Cooling Ducts up front
- Different Turn Signals up front
- Different Exhaust Tips (and completely different exhaust piping)
- Different Wheels (although now you can get the 18" AWD wheels on a FWD TL)
- AWD has different seats

lol My mom has had 3 MDX's, each a different generation. She wanted the new 4th gen MDX but I was like "nooooooo." And I dont want her to be stereotyped as another one of those little asian mothers who drive huge ass SUV's and spend 3 minutes parking at grocery stores.

If you want the TL, just explain to her that she's not keeping it very clean-it's always wet and she probably doesn't know what half the button do anyway.

The TSX outside of the USA is marketed as a Honda Accord
