I hadn't thought much of this car until I read this review. I suppose this is different from the 2009 Acura TL? Anyway, if these figures are accurate, it dominated the 335i on the track, not to mention the audi s4, 335xi, and G35.

Looks like a formidable upper class competitor to the Evo and STI, no?

It stomps the 335i - 2.7 seconds quicker on the track? Am I reading into this too much?

 

But... it's fugly.

 

Ita *** ugly.. They should have kept the old style. By the way I love my TL.

 

I agree, the new TL is ugly.

 

Wow!! very impressive indeed. Makes me wonder how well it could do on Nurburgring... The car looks very big but it is obvious that it does the job well done..

it looks like toyota camry from behind. well.. from the side pictured that I saw..

 

09+ TLs look like they were trying to get into transformers.

ugly vehicles.

 

looks like a camry from the front aswell.

 

yes yes yes it's ugly.
i'm talking about performance. those are impressive results... 335i is a quick one

 

the TL's SH-AWD is similar to the X' SAYC, SAWD

 

Holy hell that is butt ugly. It has a US-esque front grill, Camry rear, and an indisputable Maxima side. There goes innovation.

 

Acura just can't get it right. Automags have been telling them for years give this car AWD and it easily would beat the competiton. Ok, great they do that and now they mess up the one thing the Acura-TL always had going for it, its styling.

You could already pick out the feature that will ultimately divide shoppers into potential buyers and those who will choose to look elsewhere: The in-your-face but ugly front grille.

Someone wake me up when Acura decides to build a real contenter in the sports sedan category. EVERYTHING else in that price range is sooooo much better. Why do they bother? I guess someone's gotta be in last place.

If you can get over the looks I'm sure people would acutally consider the car. Personally I would take a BMX 335xi, Infiniti G35x Audi A4 quattro, and Mercedes C300 4Matic over this car anyday and thats all because of exterior styling.

This car reminds me of a Buick/Saturn Cross Over Hybrid.

 

I loved Acura (Honda) too, TSX and TL went ugly......new MDX is still nice though.....I'd get that before those and up the boost on that baby!!!

 

It really doesn't look all that bad, then again I drive an Evo and a civic lol.

 

They didnt mention the tq,, which is lower than 300ftlb.,, and the weight, which I beleive is around 4,000.

I think I will wait to see other reviews,, as I think this is bs.

Plus , whats up with that buckey beaver front end? Looks like they got it to the clay model,, and 5 seconds latter said,, "wait,, stop there,,, we got it,, its perfect"

LOL,,,,,,,, what some people do is just amazing.
