2009 Acura TL Spy Shots

Autoblog has received some Spy pics of the new 2009 Acura TL, and initially released some low resolution pics, but today they have some good high quality pictures. The new Acura TL looks like a winner.

The new Acura TSX looks like it's rubbed off on the 2009 Acura TL, as this car shares some of it's muscular boxiness. Other than the triangle blocks, it looks almost like an Infiniti G37.

Check out the 2009 Acura TL for yourself:

I don't like the taillights and trunk a whole lot but I'm sure things will get tweaked, as they always do. Even with that problem its still great looking. Look at those damn wheels! Drool Drool

I'm waiting for the unveiling to make my judgement

Customer: Hey do you think we should change out the transmission fluid?
Mechanic: No, it still looks nice and pink.
Customer: Well, a pussy can look nice and pink and still give you AIDs.
Mechanic: Yea, we should probably go ahead and change it.

Werd To that!

I am a TL lover of all kinds, but I am really hoping what happened to the RL doesn't happen here.

Honda of america insiders have said; "The 2009 Acura TL will be the safest car ever made".

I could tell you where I heard it, but then I'd have to kill you.

RE: 2009 Acura TL Spy Shots

TLs are notorious for being tanks. I've seen so many badly damaged 2nd Gens (like mine) where the occupants walk away with minor scratches. I can't wait to see what they have in store as far as that and technology-wise as well.

RE: 2009 Acura TL Spy Shots

I an a salesperson in one of Acura dealerships and my GM have already seen the car in person. IT IS AWSOME He said that the car looks like it is 5-7 YEARS ahead of its time. This is going to be a BIG BIG hit for us.

Press Release from Acura

Quote:

2009 Acura TL revealed: an early look
July11

The redesigned 2009 Acura TL will arrive in showrooms this fall, Honda announced today. The redesigned luxury sedan will be available in two distinctive versions including the first ever application of ‘Super Handling All-Wheel Drive’ (SH-AWD) on TL.

So far, details are sparse, and only a single image has been released. As previously reported, both the standard FWD and the SH-AWD model (distinguished by its quad exhaust) have been seen. When it comes to redesigns, Acura appears to be on a roll — we’ve already seen the new RL and TSX this year, and the new TL should arrive before the end of 2008, too.

In April, information leaked out of an Acura dealer meeting in New Orleans regarding the new TL. According to a source who attended the meeting, the 2009 Acura TL lineup will consist of two models: a base front-wheel drive car and an up-level all-wheel drive model. The front-driver will be powered by a 280 horsepower 3.5L V6 whereas the AWD model will receive its motivation from a 3.7L V6 producing 310 horsepower.

Despite boasting 310 horsepower and all-wheel drive, the range-topping model will not sport the Type-S nameplate. In fact, the source says that Acura will not offer a Type-S model, at least not in 2009. It remains unclear if the performance model will eventually join the lineup.

However, the SH-AWD model will sport quad-exhaust and 18 inch wheels to differentiate it from lesser TL models. Our spy photos also clearly show the car’s new SH-AWD rear differential.

Acura has promised us a new TL by the end of the year so a Los Angeles Auto Show reveal seems likely, with an on-sale date shortly after.

RE: 2009 Acura TL Spy Shots

As with most new Hondas & Acuras, it takes seeing a few in person before it grows on me enough to say I like it. We'll see, I definitely dont like the renderings, but I can almost guarantee that the grill will stay, that seems to be their new trademark.

RE: 2009 Acura TL Spy Shots

6MTUA5, the 2nd or 3rd pic one wud be nice.
