Not a big fan, but I can see the draw. Definitely looks better in these pictures than the press photos I've been seeing.

Definitely looks better and more modernized than the older version. Interior looks great also. Congrats!

But I think I would go with TL........ everything is abit more high-end and nicer.

sweet car michael. congrats!

my suggestion- leave good enough alone. don't mod it and try to make it look ghetto ricey or whatever. it's not a performance car- it's a luxury car that's reliable and elegant.

if u got 600 miles per tank, y would u want to **** with it and risk breaking something? lol

my .02.

congrats.

acura made this car as high end as the TL
plus bigger interior space, trunk space, and better gas milage.
the current tl is outdated, and soon to be remodeled.

Yes those rims are NASTY...And still not a huge fan of the grill still. Otherwise it looks clean.

I have an 07 with nav. Very good build quality and ride.

I suspect the 09s are even better. But the growth in size is sort of a turn-off imo. At least for me, since I think the original idea was to introduce a car smaller/sportier than the American Accord, which I think the 09s forgot/lost in it's redesign.

suprisingly well for a fwd sedan this size , but still understeers like one.

Dude, nice car.

been a fan of tsx for years, and think my next car will be one, but why did you get the auto? the former models had such a slick 6-sp - I assume it must carry over into the 09.

the dealerships around me didnt have a single manual.
all of them said they dont expect people to buy manual for this car.
i'd have to wait 3 months for one.

yeah, an expensive one.
not really, try pricing a 4 door accord to have my standard features, and you'll find it costs more than my car.

Get rid of that Saturn-esque chrome grill and it might look pretty good.

The only recent Acura I liked was the TL-Type S. The other models seem to fade away. But hey as long as you like it, that's what counts.
