[YO]

ACURA TL ROCKS!

This thread makes about as much sense as a V6 powered fwd based awd flagship luxury car.

Ok.

TL looks like armored truck + sentinel comic book character, not exactly what I think of in a flagship or attractive car

[YO]

TL is not the flagship... that would be the RL...

FYI... Acura has a press conference at the Chicago auto show on the 11th, to talk about 2 new vehicles... hopefully that "flaghip" thing will be addressed

SUZUKI SWIFT ROX!

I'm sure acura(honda) will pull a 400HP V8 and a large rwd platform out of its ass for this new flagship

*rolleyes*

Hyundai has surpassed Acura when it comes to offering a V8 RWD full size luxury car.

why not? Honda isn't hurting

From what I knwo the TL offers everything the RL does, albeit in an even UGLIER package for less money. I see it as the flagship

[giant_mtb]

The TL is the ugliest goddamn thing on the road.  Whoever let the design through should be tortured.

[YO]

you'd have to drive them both to understand.  RL is more refined with more toys ie CMBS, better stereo, better seats, classier traditional interior, tri/window shades, drop rear headrests,  and a more aggresive SH-AWD set up. The RL wins the majority of head to heads it's in, unlike the TL.

Because nothing makes more sense than placing a vehicle above the two generations of fail known as the RL

You would make a fantastic defense lawyer.

The RL is nice. Not nice for the price, but nice nonetheless.

Come on... the 99 face lift had some life...

Joan River's plastic surgery of a similar vintage was described similarly...and look how that turned out.

[Rupert]

WAT!

YOU HEARD ME

[Raza]

The TL is so ugly it should be illegal.

[Rupert]

Is the TL the one with the commercials where someone punches a block of wood and the car comes out?

[Speed_Racer]

SUZUKI SWIFT ROX!

And at least it doesn't sport the new Acura "beak". Squakk!

Part of driving a car is being able to see it and say 'wow that looks like a nice car, i want to drive that'

TL fails that test wholeheartedly

Sad to say, there is no Acura out now I would want to own.

I remember being impressed with the interior when I sat in one at the Atlanta Autoshow several years back.

Sad to say, there is no Acura out now I would want to own.

I'd consider the TSX if I couldn't afford a G35 or 3er and I needed 4 doors.

The TL deserved to be shot more then the glass bottle

I've been driving Hondas for a long time, and driven a number of TL's in the past ( company vehicles ) , but this latest iteration is by far the strangest looking I have ever seen. Hell, probably the strangest looking car of all brands for the past couple of years.  To me it looks kind of robotic or like a combat kit was stuck on the front. 

I have no doubts about its stated performance that several rags have touted that it has ( I haven't driven one yet myself ), but I just find the styling direction they've taken has become a little...er...odd.

[TBR]

I'd consider the TSX if I couldn't afford a G35 or 3er and I needed 4 doors.

I would have bought the last one, but I don't think I could stand to look at the new one. It still looks much better than the TL though.

The decline of Honda stylistically has been most disturbing.

I might be alone here, but I actually like the way it looks. The only thing I don't like about the TSX is the cartoony fender flares that have become all too common in recent years. I can't say the same for the TL though. It's just unpleasant.
