the front of the Car and Driver photo is from the TSX 2009, the exact copy.
The wheels from an Infinity FX, the rear I don't know. What are they thinking about?

mrdeeno

The only thing I can say about the rendition is, "nice rims!"

Dang, i just helped a buddy buy a new TL-S for $33,500 with .9% for 48 months.

Great car for that kind of coin.

JediMindTricks

what a deal.

Mokos23

what do you mean by helped? did you con the saleguy?

LuvMyTSX

Don't get any ideas. Next one to defect from the TSX section gets a .











There have been A LOT of people leaving, though. Especially for a TL-S.

Crazy Bimmer

My parents have bought a bunch of Acuras from a sales guy at the local dealer.

So i gave him a call and told him if he would agree to $33,500 for a new TL-S for a friend of mine. Also told them if he agrees then we will come in tonight at 5 to sign the papers. He called me back 15min later saying done deal.

Thats all. I got that price from looking at what others have seem to be getting on the TL forums. Its not the lowest that anyone has gotten but fairly low.

That .9% rate is drool worthy.

JediMindTricks

trust me, i'm not going anywhere.

after my accident, i'm keeping my car for a long time.

LuvMyTSX

Didn't mean to scare ya.

The deals people have been getting do make it very tempting to trade, though. I just don't want to regret not waiting for the new stuff to be out before I make a decision. My current plan is to keep this car for another 2-3 years unless something goes majorly wrong, or I fall into temptation.

that's a great deal.

the dealership by me has an 08 TL-S w/ 22k miles for $36k.

That's just sick. Reminds me of when I got my CL-S for ~$33.7K including tax and license.

damn $33.5k? That's 4.5k lower than MSRP...awesome deal..if I live in the States and have the money, I'd go for it right away...

Crazy Bimmer

Ok I lied they wouldnt give him that price with that rate. It was one or the other. He went with the price and got his own rate at the credit union. Woot

bgsm1th

Financing through a Credit Union is DEFINITELY the way to go.
I got a 3.1% rate on a 3 year old USED car.

JediMindTricks

still...$33k sounds like a really good deal.

csmeance

A lot of dealers can do this, its either 2k cash back or 1.9% or 2.9% financing. I was talking to my salesman at acura and he said on a type S, all they would need to do was be 1 dollar over invoice, then subtract the 2K, coming out to 33,501 for a brand new TL-S. (the one dollar is so he can get his regular commission as it is an over invoice sale)

I just found this online today. I don't know how reliable this website is s maybe one of the other forum members can comment on the reliability of the source. I also hope this isn't old news to any of you.

Hopefully this is true, and its a complete redesign

fsttyms1

Oh and the crap some are posting in that link is quite possibly some of the dumbest stuff ive read

evolpe

Yeah, there are bits and pieces that i really like about the car in the article, but i know a lot of people will complain about the base being front wheel drive still. I for one, applaud it. When looking at the current model year's base and Type S models, besides the larger engine, why should I get a type S? I don't see the extra incentive to put more money towards the type S for .3 more liters of displacement. No thanks. But for 340-350 HP with SH-AWD, not that's worthwhile. The base TL will still have the benefits of fuel economy and the safer and more reliable front wheel drive system.

Manual Transmission

That sounds good. If I can get a brand new '08 TL Type-S 6MT for $34~ 35k this October, I'm in. But if they are not willing to go any lower than $38+ k, then f#@k(pardon my language) Acura... I say kiss my butt byebye.

It's hillarious

Check out the TSX forum, several peeps had gotten great deals on 08 TL-S already, one even bought one for $33.5k. These are posted in the TSX forum because, originally, these people were about to buy the new TSX, but then when they found out they only had to pay a grand or 2 more for the TL-S, they went for that instead.

Mokos23

how much longer until real spy shots of the 09 TL? there were spy shots of the TSX in camo a full 5 months before it debuted at the NY Auto show.

Manual Transmission

Thanks for the heads up. I will check it out. And really... that's no brainer for those guys to go with the '08 TL Type-S for a grand more, and crush that TSX in performance. I like the interior of the new TSX but the performance is a joke...





For me there is a small chance to go with the new '09TL as it is going to likely cost more and will weigh more, hence the handling/cornering can also be worsen. Not good. Even if it will opt with some incredible exterior design it's no good if it can't do any better than an 3rd gen TL Type-S 6MT in cornering performance.

Good luck! I hope I get to see you more often in the TL forum with your new 08 TL-S 6MT

jbancouver

why are they keeping this thing under wraps like this?

either its gonna be REALLY good or REALLY BAD

Ken1997TL

Only insiders at Honda and certain general managers from Acura dealers have seen the TL. From one I have spoken to, it looks great. It doesn't look like any current Acura and has many hints of the Sports4 concept.

Edward'TLS

^^^^^ So does the new TL look good or not ?

Ken1997TL

Looks are subjective but I hear it looks much better than the TSX or RL.

See for yourself





Old crappy spyphotos I know. But the basic lines are aggressive and the "mean" headlights are retained.

FiveLiterCheater

^^ It has some wide ass tires....

Do i see fake quad exhaust?

i really hope that this new design will be a mix of the older 02-03 design, with a little hint of the future
