From the pics, I like Crystal Black & Basque Red with some sort of color matched grille. It looks like Acura improved the clarity of the paint, not anywhere near the amount of orange peel as the 3rd Generation. I have noticed the improvement in paint quality on all of the 4th Generations that I have seen in person also.

Unlike their front grille.

Wow, Im surprise Acura would go for that type of rim for a classy car. But black would have to be the most popular choice.

Hey, MayanBronzeTL can I be a close friend? lol jp. Off subject, but sometimes its good to have the same phone #, old friends from grade school might call you up out of the blue...

WOW...... Acura really messed these up. The stock rims look like ACURA integra rims from the 90s and the whole front end looks like a wanna be cool SATURN spaceship. There's a list going around online about the top 10 ugliest cars of 2009. Guess who made the list?! I guess I'm not the only person who thinks so. I personally like the new TSX better except for the big wheel fenders. I'm a 2004 TL owner and I feel pretty good right now....

well guys...new TL look is growing on me -Just gotta look at it everyday, and you will get used to it. I agree it's not the best looking car out there, but this car does offer some nice shit. Plus I pre-sold three AWD techs already. For 43k, definately a great car for the money.

Black and blue.....I just can't deal with the grille. It looks slightly better on the color matched black one, but still looks odd and too big.

Gloria,

I like the Black one or the Red one...but the grill MUST be painted. The 3 you have pre-sold....did they want the grills painted?

Wow, that color matched grill makes the front end look a whole lot better. Stock wheels are still terrible. They seem to be going backwards with those. The '04-'06 were the nicest, didn't care much for the '07-'08s, especially the type-s ones, and now the '09s are even worse.

Who actually does the painting of the grill? The dealer? Or do they come from the factory that way?

I'd have to say white or black.

To the OP: I stopped by your dealership yesterday to take a look at the black TL w/ the painted grill and it wasn't there. It looks pretty nice in pics.

As for the TL, I love the interior and some of the technology, but I'll keep my Genesis! I never thought the day would come where I'd pick a Hyundai over an Acura.

BTW, your dealership is very nice! Way better than Lexus.

7th and 8th pictures are borealis blue. It is actually a damn nice color. MUST SEE in person. hard to take a pic of that color. It's definately not like the TSX blue.

No, they didnt get the matching grills. In fact, people rarely bringing up the grills but then again I am dealing with late 40's to early 60's clients.

How is Acura of Reno doing in general, being the newest Acura dealer in the country and all. I know even before the dealer went up, I would see A LOT of MDX's on the road there. Is it being accepted fairly well?

all are ugly, I have to say.Honda is short of culture and imagination, sense of beauty and fashion, it is too eager to show itself,but lack of culture support.
