Cool find.

I'm glad to hear him say that all the metal trim in the interior is real metal. (about 17:30 into the video).

Did anyone catch that he says there will be a 6-spd manual available in 2010 in the SH-AWD model...he says it at the very end of the video.

What do you expect? He's an engineer not a PR guy (plus he's driving) and describing pretty technical details while trying to 'dumb it down' for the audience. At least he said 'dynamic' only once or twice...

The "real metal" is really metalized plastic as reported on www.hondanews.com .

That was a good video. I actually learned a lot more than what I read from the press release. Thanks.

Good vid. Looks like lots of cool stuff went into the engineering of the car. However, you can bet it is going to be a lot more expensive on top of being butt ugly.

The one thing I like about the base 08 TL is that it is slightly affordable, and still drives nice without all of the super tekky features. Once the TL starts pushing the 40K mark, I might as well start looking at BMW's. They are better looking than the 09's anyway.

Lol, its so funny how they think 305hp with a 4,000lbs car is on par, with other cars. I would say this car 0-60 in in low 7sec car. Most cars have more trq then hp, when thier over 4000lbs. I would take the 300c or charger R/T ,over this any day just my . I was going to get Pontiac G8 GT, but they said it is coming out with the GXP 420hp in 2010. And i just can't looks at the front' and the center console, it will never apeal to my eyes.

This is cool and very detailed!! However, I just felt a little bored when watching this!

I'd prefer to getting some key points or summary instead.

So why is this car smiling (Mark Fulmer)
... he's almost sarcastic about the grill and quickly switches to interior features.

I'm hard-pressed to figure out how a clueless pokemon chrome smile on a so-called 'exquisite' car is supposed to be 'bold' and 'aggressive'.

This is one look you really want to test out the 5-star crash rating on.

The G8 is a good looking car, and fast, but no Navi. Gotta have Navi.

You're right, he's an engineer, not a salesman.

It was good to hear about all the major advancements to the new TL. I think Acura is finally listening to owners and offering more power. I’m expecting a Type-S TL in a few years with +330hp from the 3.7L.

If they could give the TL A/C seats and adaptive cruise control, it would be in my driveway ASAP. Living in the southwest, the seats get pretty warm on the back side in the summer time. I know the RL has cooled seats; I like the TL better because it seems more of sports luxury compared to luxury sport like the RL.

I would still like to see a 6AT for this car.
