Shhh....oot, we know what the 2010 tang will look like but not the 09 TL...honda is such a pita.....it could save buyers from getting fed up and going g35, g8 or bummer etc...but then, I now see why they hid the tsx...

The sizzle in the Steak
Could it be that Acura's camo has about the same look as the final product without camo....one and the same...ugly?

Wasn't there an old SNL skit about a "stealth" luxury car that looked like a total POS on the outside, so nobody would steal it?

I'm the Firestarter
The June issue of C&D has a small blurb on the 2009 TL with a small picture. It looks like a TSX only more agressive. Probably just a chop? They say the TL is 300 hp, FWD. No mention of SH-AWD.

the current TL i've driven and although didn't feel as nimble as the 1st gen TSX, it didn't feel like a boat or a larger car.

They should have at least kept the crease in the side profile. And the grill has been carried over from the RL and TSX which of course is .
