09 Acura TL

http://www.detnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll...809030311/1149

TL SH-AWD: 3.7-liter V-6
3.7-liter: 305-horsepower @ 6,200 rpm; 275-pound-feet torque @ 5,000 rpm

Don't think I'd get it over the G37 (esp since there'll be an AWD coupe)..

The grille also reminds me of the new Saturns..

LOL, the title of that article ("The New Acura: Poetry In Motion") makes me laugh. Poetry in motion isn't exactly how I would describe the new TL.

looks like an SUV with camry rear 1/4 panel. Yukk!
305 hp and how much is that thing going to weigh? 3700-3900 lb im guesssing. No thanks.

I still think the current TL with A-spec body kit is the one of the nicest looking cars on the road.

And here's the downfall of Acura. I really like the way the 99 models look and the 06 generation and stuff, but the ****ed this up. BAD.

Downfall of Acura as a company unless they redesign it FAST.

Not liking the redesign. I thought the current model was a sleek-looking car, then they screwed it up for '09.

before i got my G, i test drove the acura. IMO, idk i did not like the way it drove. Not something i was looking for to switch from my 03 accord.

buying the G was a no brainer when i drove one.

Do you all think that the Acura TL would be anywhere close to the G asa far as the fun factor is concerned?
