I actually like the saddle interior. It doesn't look so bad in red. Holy crap, they actually used real aluminum.

Really not a fan of the lower part of the front bumper. Too much going on there IMO.
And 17's wheels should not be available on a car this big. They should have went with standard 18's on the base and 19's on the SH.

My God.... that is one ugly f#@k....
Look at the rear left fender in this angle. Looks like the rear end cut chopped off. Ugliest design for the world record.

Who cares. It already has more or the same of everything else, what difference will wheels make.
I don't think Acura is worried about hurting the 200 a month RL's that they are selling.

^ Yep
I just hope it doesn't wrinkle as much as 3G TLs. Mine's all wrinkled as hell, although I don't weight much.

I think the car looks a bit better with a darker color. In silver and white the car is just terrible. I don't know who designs Acura cars these days. Maybe there's a reason such people's names are not publicized.
Let the sales number be the judgment. I will stick with Honda and BMW.

1. Holy shit that brown interior is dead sexy! The interior over all, although a bit busy, is actually pretty nice and is growing on me fast!
2. The exterior is growing on me too. I still think the 3G TL looks better but I think over time it'll grow.
On the red car the exterior doesn't look bad at all.
Ultimately though, I'm going to reserve my judgement until I see it in person. So far it doesn't look like the abomination most of you make it out to be though. Just my opinion

What is your guess this '09 TL SH-AWD will weigh? I bet ya 4100 lbs. Being 0.3 sec faster than the previous gen Type-S 6MT is a pipe dream.... lollolololo.lollollzzzlolzololzzzz you'd be lucky to reach 7 sec 0-60 and 16 sec quarter mile.
