i think it does fold. our TSX give up the trunk pass though for 60/40 split.... i think the TL gives up the 60/40 split for a trunk pass though. but a majority of cars, civic, accord, camry, etc... all have fold down rear seats. it would be silly of acura not to have fold down rear seats.

Actually I have used the pass through many times in my 96 maxima.
Tilting the pass seat back, I can get PVC pipe (10 footers) and electrical conduit from the front firewall to the trunk closure.
I have even put two pattio umbrellas into it, crown molding, lumber, etc.
Without a pickup or minivan, it has worked great!

When we were looking at cars, my kids were fascinated by the various cars that had pass-throughs. Nicknamed it the "sneak-peek". I guess they're useful, but I'd rather have a full folding rear seat.
Speaking of hauling stuff around, remember that a friend will help you move, but a TRUE friend will help you move a body.

1) Money.
2) Many lux cars don't have it, and it was not seen as keeping with the upscale image Acura is reaching for.
3) The fold down rear seat detracts from the rigidity of the body and adds weight.
The TSX has fold downs because it is a modified family car.
All that said, I do think it is dumb that the TL doens't have that feature. But, that is like the one desirable feature the TL doens't have!

Animals = not in my car. I require that the passengers in my car have full prudent control over all their bodily functions at all times. Therefore, SOME humans only plese.

I guess the lack of a folding rear seat is Acura's way of telling us to buy a MDX to share the garage with your TL.
