Formal Arrival Date...Sept 9th...

If this is old news, the Mods are more than welcome to kill it but here is a dealer website with a countdown to the formal TL announcement on September 9th

http://www.acurapembrokepines.com/

Here is also what appears to be a fairly accurate representation of the rear 3/4 view unmasked (it's really a good photochop by a Senfen from TOV)...

Interesting....
I called Curry Acura & they said the TL was coming out on Sept. 24th.
Acura of Westchester said Late October.
Who's right here?

The back sort of looks like a Toyota Solara. I'll reserve my final judgment until the thing finally comes out.

Right now the view is a cross between a GS and G35. I'm glad I have my TL-S.

That when the 07 TL-S went on sale. In Sept.

A turbo 3.7 liter coupe with SH AWD and a manual and I would buy it ASAP and loaded.

It IS a turbo ........

Nothing ground-breaking to add but I was at my dealership yesterday and the sales manager told me the new TL's will be in late Summer/early Fall starting with the FWD. SH-AWD will be in later (maybe November) and no stick until next year. He says he still hasn't seen the actual car yet but said that he saw an '09 RL and thinks the grill will be similar.

Carry on...

I swear, thats the only combo I would settle for, the SH-AWD, 300+ hp, and a manual transmission, thats all.

I just hope they don't wait until the MMC to add the manual tranny.

wow i would probably get a NBP or w/e it's called now if i did get a 4G...that angle makes it looks very buyable...tho i'm still disappointed they ditched the 3G style lights, like completely....was one of the main reasons i loved the 3G\

on the other hand THAT with A-spec rims of now...WOW

Interesting that the 2004 TL (3G) was available to customers on October 6.

I picked up my car on October 10.

So basically the only difference is that Acura is not showing a "concept" TL like they did at the 2003 New York Auto Show.

That is one very ugly car.

That thing is going to make every one that bought a 3rd gen very happy that they didn't wait.

Yep and that would be me. I am so glad I bought my 08 Type-S when I did. I truly think with the design of the 4G TL will only make my car hold it's value even better. I am sure I will have no problems selling my TL in about three years as people will not want the 4G TL.

That looks chopped.. someone got creative with the camo pics.. ? the acura logo doesnt look like its at the right angle based on the angle of the pic.. and i'm sure the TL will have jewel like tail lights.. those look old and dated.. and the rims have been pc painted!

Yes, we KNOW it's a photoshop effort. Stated so in the first post...

Maybe I will just get a new 08 WDP TL Type-S manual when they are still on lots after the 09 comes out. HMMM, I could get one for $33k. WDP, manual.
