Hi all,
Just spoke with the Acura Regional Rep about getting an extended tranny warranty on my 2000 TL(tranny replaced at 43,000). Not only did he extend my transmission warranty for another 12 months/25,000 miles, he also told me that the new TL will be debuting in Jan. at the LA auto show. He told me they know little, but every issue that has even been brought up against the current generation has been addressed on the new one. I told the guy that this was my companies 6th Acura( 86 Legend, 91 Legend, 94 Legend, 96 RL, 97 2.2 CL, 2000 TL, 2002 RSX on the way for son), and he was very accomodating. As far as the CL is concerned, he mentioned that the name will probably die, but Acura is far from done in the 2 door market, so for all of you who are considering migrating to the Infiniti camp, I'd wait to see what they have in store for us.

Regards,
Darryl

 

That would hella suk, if they got rid of the CL.

 

same old news to me.

 

That very encouraging ! Perhaps the new 2 door coupe will be a "CLX" Type S, so it RSX, NSX and the new CLX and TLX.....who knows ! I'm waiting....

 

by the time your new bmw gets here..........youll be ordering your new acura coupe..........whatever they call it

 

I HOPE THEY HAVE VERY BIG EARS IN THE TRANSMISSION DESIGN and Q/A DEPARTMENTS!!!!

 

neah, im sure the bad tranny is the last thing acura would think to improve

 

Was he talking about the 2 door RSX and/or the 2 door NSX?:P

 

I don't see the logic of replacing the CL...It's a great car and now that there is better out there (G35), why doesn't Acura just improve the CL? Why bother replacing it with a new car?

 

 

But according to Acura they don't have any tranny problems.

 

One would hope...

 

what if the next TL came in 2 flavors:

a 2 door and a 4 door?!?



It would be very economical wouldn't you think.

 

they should do that!!! LOOK how hott the legends were like that!!

 

Acura's have tranny problems????? wtf!!

 

Wrong ! According to them, the failure rate is far too few to alarm them as "tranny problems". That's why there is still no action taken by Honda after all these years.

 

Hey welcome to the board! Thanks for sharing that info.

And while Acura's PR department might deny the tranny problem, they certainly do know about it - the techs know about it so the word is definitely out there. It just pays to keep it quiet.

 

yer a real cacksmoker :sqnteek:

 

Well, the original Legend Coupe was not based on the sedan--different wheelbase and everything (and a bunch more money)--just shared the Legend moniker. I never kept track of the second generation, so I don't know there...
