What, now you are gonna tell me that Nissan puts this kind of tech in their under $20k cars?!?!?
Keyless entry is VERY high end stuff. $42k is fair for keyless entry.

I don't believe them.
It's clear they intended this 4GN TL taking the place of the RL in the range row: almost the same car for less money. (there is only 0,5 inches difference now between them).
But the RL will not be ready for the jump to the biggest class, the S/LS/A8 one, till the 2011. Bad thing. That means that the RL is dead for now.
Acura tried to do with the TL 2 things togheter: don't grow uo too much the price of the entry level (34k) for not loosing his fans, and taking the seat in the upper class with the 3.7 awd, for 42k gaining more "luxury" fans!
Than, at the end, what we got is simply: Acura has NO more a really, direct concurrent of the G35/IS class right now.
The hope is only a super TSX type-s in the near future...

In addition, you have to remember that the G is already a couple years old and the price he paid was a little discounted. Wait till the 4G TL is out for a year or two and I'm sure deals can be had.

btw, the FWD TL looks uglier with the dual exahaust than the quad exhaust like it does on the SH-AWD TL. i'm never goin to be a fan of that deformed trunk. Why did Acura do this?? it looks like the rear was in an accident and the body shop didn't do a good shop of fixing it. the crease in the center of the trunk is ugly. i don't think i've ever seen a car have a trunk like this ever. the 1st gen CL at least didn't have a crease in the middle of the trunk.
2nd gen TSX I guarantee will steal a lot of potential 09 TL buyers because the TSX looks normal, has better mpg, isn't that much smaller than the new TL, and will have a diesel version coming out. only thing missing on the TSX is the type S and SH-AWD, if it had those options, then why would you buy a TL?

Hmm I don't think anyone has posted this from Motortrend:
http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/...ing_specs.html
"Acura says it simply runs away from the outgoing Type-S in racetrack lapping."
..interesting...it would be funny if they are actually referring to Willow Springs..lol...damn the current Type S is already 2 seconds faster than its rivals..and now this new 4G can run away from the Type S...hmm..interesting...I won't say anything though until I see proof.

Nevermind my IS350. The V6 version Hyundai Genesis will eat this 4th gen Acura TL and TL SH-AWD for brunch and dinner. We are not even talking a V8 version Hyundai.

do you want to see that thing at a racetrack??? I sure as hell don't!
#4553
Wow... talk about ugly as fuck.
Acura has been completely ruined. It looks like a bastardized offspring of a GS and a Saturn.
That ugly ass grill makes the car look cheap!
Only thing that Acura has going is the interior of the car. Exterior is just a giant mobile turd!

First time I checked out this thread and I have to say the new TL is freaking hideous. I mean, the 3G TL is so nice looking and they royally screwed it up all around. The only nice part is the interior.

I like the interior, has more buttons than the Starship Enterprise.
Brown leather is hot, similar to the Atacama S60R leather.
Exterior wise, a little busy to say the least.
