interior is sexy, the sides are sexy, the front is agressive, not really sold on the rear, and the shitty lookin' rims can be fixed with a bit o' cash.
i hope I'm not suckered into buying this car. :/
how can you assume no AWD looking at the pic?

I like it...
But what's up with that rear marker light way up on the body crease? That's kinda cheesy....
Since the taillights appear to be LED, they shoulda just put a verticle strip of LEDs where the taillights wrap around the side of the body. That woulda been hot.

The Bad:
I thought I liked the interior from the first group of shots that showed the black with silver trim, but that tan + black + silver trim + wood trim looks like crap to me. They should have used a darker wood IMO. Also I think that rear in is butt ugly.
The Good:
Another #1 seller in the making for sure.
6 speed
Possibly the best bang for buck as far as options go.
Can't wait until the Comparos start. Any predictions???

Is the current thought 280hp??? 3.4L or close to it???
Damn... It's too bad it's going to be FWD. All that power on a AWD or RWD platform would be sick!

man, wtf
shit, yet again another FWD. Shit, when the fuck will acura learn? It's a nice styling car..too bad it's still FWD. I don't want to knock too much since the car specs aren't public yet...but so far, it's nothing more than an improved TL.

I gotta say, Acura has completely lost me. They don't make anything that does anything for me anymore. It's really sad. 
I'm hoping they come around by the time I'm ready to trade again and make something that doesn't look like rehash.

It's amazing how Acura (and others) can keep coming up with new styles that really say nothing new, or are not distinctive at all, it really is an art.
From the pix, the new TL adds nothing to the 03 TL looks. Interior is better, but come on, everyone wants a car that looks sexy or at least unique or distinct. This car's rear looks bland, like a VW or the newer BMW sedans.
Not since the Legend Coupe and the NSX has Acura made anything that didn't look like an overpriced Accord or Civic. What's wrong with them? Well, they know we are suckers and will buy a prissed up Accord.
Look at Lexus, their coupes don't look a thing like any Toyotas.
So tired of over-priced Accord lookalikes.
I guess this is how Acura keeps prices low, spend tiny amount on body design. I love my CL but the Acura style is so cookie cutter corporate bland and the TL doesn't break any ground that I can see. Whatever ground there was the TSX broke it, TL looks like a bigger, blander Accord...errr TSX.
Sorry, but I was expecting more from Acura's latest. This is the Acura bread and butter model, yea, like white bread.
I want more design from Acura for my $30k.
I see a BMW 3 coupe more than ever in my future. Only coupe that looks good anyway.

looks great!! I really like it... but i dont think that interior is THAT great, looks exactly like the accords and tsx interiors to me. But i bet if it was all black interior then it would be pimpin. Do they plan to raise the price on the TL? And nice to know they went with a 235 tire
Looks like it might bemy moms next ride

Anyone wanna take a jab at the cost? My wife and I are lookin for a 4dr and were leaning towards Audi A4. The build price I came up on Audi's website was almost 35k w/ a few options but I know as soon as she see's that Redondo burgundy whatever color, she's gonna want the TL. I was hoping to go Audi cuz I wanted something diff but the new TL is growing on me.
Not feeling the diff color interiors
Steering wheel looks like it has too much shit goin on
E-brake just screams "hey lookit me!" foot brake woulda been fine.
That ACURA on the front bumper is wack
Exhaust looks wack
Everything else is cool. I'd like to see what it has under the hood.
