Essentially, the seats are perforated (like in the TLS) but work like an air hockey table. You can blow the AC through the seats and your back and legs do not sweat in the summer!

Just remember, the '04 TL goes on sale in October so they will probably start building them in September which is two months away. This is purely speculation but supports why the Marysville's contact may be telling the truth.
Only time will tell.....

If the TL is coming out in September or October, the plants were switched over to pre-production models as early as April. That lets them make a small batch of TL's, test them, fix anything that comes up and then make the final version about 2 1/2 months before release. So... retooling has already begun and is probably in full swing as we speak.

In addition to providing a glimpse of the design that will be applied to the 2004 TL when it goes on sale this fall, Acura announced that the '04 TL will be fitted with some of the latest high technology available, including the world's first automotive application of multichannel DVD Audio 5.1, Bluetooth wireless telephone connectivity and XM" Satellite Radio.

I just wish Acura would not try to be so sporty in everything it does now. I bought a 2003 TL because I wanted a luxury car that I could afford. I didn't want a sports car, thus I sold my Integra.
It seems like these days, every car is trying to have 300 horsepower... I realize that this forum is probably all for that, so go ahead and pounce on me...
Still, I just took a 1400 mile trip at 87mph average. RPMs sitting at 2500, and an ultra smooth ride. Who can ask for anything more than that?!
I was going to wait for the 2004 TL, but seeing the body style of the Accord scared me. I was afraid that I wouldn't like the sportier look of the 04 TL, and I was right.
Acura has always meant performance... but it was balanced with a luxury look (i.e. the Legend). Now I've afraid that performance has become everything, at least in the look of the cars.

Nice pics in the above link...
However, anyone notice the handbrake in the middle? Maybe some people like this, but it makes no sense to me!
Get that thing out of the way! Makes the center console feel clumsy, especially on an Automatic. Of course, I assume that it is a nice feature if you park on hills alot, but I live in Texas where there are none =)
Personally think the steering wheel is too cluttered also.

You said to Shh earlier and you would share your source later. I believe you confirming some additional data.
I would be very surprised if the VTECRRR guy was right about no wipers.
