The new Acura TL looks nice

Just looking through this months Motor Trend magazine and there is a Acura TL ad in it. Car really looks good. Here is the scanned imaged from the magazine. Maybe I can convince the girly to sell her accord for one

It looks nice, kind of like the TSX though. I guess Acura is trying to get into the whole "brand image" thing for all of its cars....

Yes, but that's cool if all you are doing is posin' and pimpin'
The car is sweet.

My dad has this on his list as a possible replacement for moms Legend.
However, moms is diggin' the new 2004 5 series. I have finally seen a grown man cry ( chi-ching !!! )

Yup. But, I think there will be an AWD option eventually. Honda's VTM-4.

Some of the bells and whistles are cool. 8 inch flat screen, blue tooth, DVD audio, ...

It's an amazing vehicle and looks even better in person.

Currently just the automatics are in stock but the 6speed models are coming by December and they have the limited-slip diff in the front. There will also be an A-spec package available in the spring which offers a body kit, hot rims, grippy tires, and lower/stiffer suspension.

It's an awesome car for the mid $30k price range, filled with hot features like 5.1 Audio, DVD-Audio (6-disc in dash of course), and all the usual luxury features. The 8" rich full color navigation touch screen with voice recognition features is DVD-based (one DVD with over 8 million points of interest throughout the continental 48 states) which is located in a separate DVD player from the audio system is also top-of-the-line. Acura's always had the best OEM navigation systems.

I recently sold my 3.2 CL TypeS because I'm looking to get a higher performance car and sacrifice the luxury to get that (Evo8 being the top contender right now). If I was looking to replace my car with another luxury sports sedan the 04 TL would be at the top of the list.

I saw this yesterday when looking at RSX's. Very nice car I must say, but I want to get out of the family sedan style. Marked at 33k btw

TL is to large of a sedan for me. Would much rather go with something along the lines of a TSX/IS300/9-3. Granted though, the TL is pretty much a supersized TSX.

The gauges look sweet, but the exterior is, well, uneventful.
