just saw the TL

i just saw the TL! (for a few seconds)

the grill is like the TSX,RL as you all probably know. I didn't get a very good look at it since i was at a light and it went by in the other direction. It was a white TL and had very sharp lines.

i wish i could have seen more of it or hear the exhaust. but, oh well. has anybody else seen them around yet?

It might have been the new 09 RL... Those have a crazy grille that looks a bit like the new TL one.

it did not have the mask on it

im pretty sure it was the TL because of the distinct back. it was pointy just like in the spy pictures. at first i thought it was a TSX because of the grill.

i live in torrance down the street from honda headquarters.. hopefully i can see it again and take some pics next time

Well, since you believe you've seen it unmasked, what did you think? What color was it? How would you compare it to the 3G? Any more details?

it was white.

i thought that the the front grill looked huge.. stood out a lot. it was the first thing i noticed. didn't get a good look at much else. at first i thought it was a TSX so i didn't give it a close look. but when it drove by, i could tell it was much bigger and so i looked in my side mirror and saw the pointy trunk.


i still like my 3G better. but who knows, 4G may grow on me...

Could have been the TL, but there's a chance it could have been the bigger wheeled TSX that was running around outside Honda HQ...I'm assuming they didn't get rid of this car...

At a quick glance, it could look like the 4G TL...I'm just surprised nobody has snapped a shot of an undisguised TL running outside Honda HQ (the way the quickly shot this TSX)...

4G TL's 1st official pic is released on acura.com
I still don't understand why acura is using that ugly saturnish grille for the
entire line up...I saw some 09 TSXs on the streets and local dealer showroom here in philly..they are all ugly just because of the grille..if 09 RL TL TSX has 08's grille on it..it will look so much better than now...oh acura please...fire that designer who designed the ugly grille...get a new designer from lexus instead...lexus has ugliest grille too but not as ugly as new 09 Acuras...
