2007 TL Type-S
Somebody has the video in their cache. If they need instructions on how to retrieve it, just ask. Just find a way to get the video and post it elsewhere (I'll gladly volunteer).

I agree with one of the other posters. The TL definately looks much better in real time cruising down the streets.

Hey yea I saw the video last night and it was pretty much the Chief Engineer explaining the car, he looked kinda nervous if you ask me, lol. But pretty much talked about the car in the two set ups (FWD and SH-AWD) and called the FWD a everyday type of powertrain where the SH-AWD is for the enthusiast its also going to have electric powered steering which he says helps the steering be light at low speed and heavy at high speed. There were a few clips of the TL driving around a twisty road with trees and around and I must say it looks a lot nicer in the video then in the pics, the side profile looks like a TSX on steroids mix with a GS on the rear part. Then the showed the interior which looks nice, seems like real aluminum to me. Next was the power and MPG: Base TL: 280 hp, 254 lb-ft torque, 18/26 mpg and SH-AWD: 305 hp, 275 lb-ft torque, 17/24 mpg. It also has real time weather like in the TSX but in addition to whats in the TSX it has radar as well, umm ELS sound system with 10 speakers and 440 watts I think, no touch screen nav...going to be a high tech knob I guess and finally I remembered the KBB guy mentioning how good the SH-AWD felt and that it had great power behind it. Thats all i remember if anyone has any other info then be my guest and add on.

Video worked fine for me in both Windows Media Player and VLC.
The TL does actually look more promissing watching it in motion...has my hopes up again that there may still be some hope for the 4G TL yet!
