I think people are making shit up at this point.. we'd have pics posted somewhere here of the TL if they were out there...We've only seen the MMC RL and the newly "redesigned" 2009 TSX... no sighting of the 09 TL yet...

I guess Acura is intentionally holding out the TL pics from us ... want to make a grand entrance so to speak at their launch party or somewhere in one of the auto shows ...
still waiting but I'm not that upset about it since I happen to like my 3G TL ...

But I guess the same could be said for the "redesigned" G37... Atleast with the G, there was an HP increase

Prediction: In about a years time no one will be bitching about the grilles. Well except maybe on the RL cause the whole package is ugly.
Like someone mentioned on the first page. We bitched about Audi grille and bangle when they first came out and now? People take time to adapt to change. Happens in everything we do.

The point is, Acura is 0 for 2 on those 2 new/refreshed grilles. As for the TL, I'm hoping for the best but obviously expecting the worst, based on their statements that the "power plenum" monstrosity is the new corporate grille. Also, I guess you missed the joke:<-------- "I hadn't noticed."

Someone photoshopped the MDX grille on the '09 RL and it looked much better. I just hope they've gotten some of this feedback in time to save the TL.
