I like the mirrors with the markers in them. Alot of customers ask about that on the 06 for some reason. Anyway, pm me, I'm taking orders now......

I want to see the current TL in a two door config.
yeah, bring back the CL with SH-AWD option and get rid of the TSX.

It doesn't look as 'sinister' as I thought it would. I was thinking of something more aggressive then the TSX-V. This is even more bland then the base TSX!

The TL does not need more power, It needs RWD!
The Standard TL 6 speed already has enough torque steer. It can only get worst with more power.

They are, for the 2007 models. You get a base RL for about $42K, I think, then one with a tech package for $48K or so...

The car is definitely not overpriced. For the content, it's cheaper than ANY of the competition. The only reason to say it's overpriced is because "it's just an Acura"...

Have to agree about that. My 02 tls is ok in a straight line but torque steer is bad when I need to nail it from a stop while making a hard right turn. Like when entering a fast hwy from a side road. to RWD. I think AWD adds too much weight and the TL is heavy enough as it is.

That picture above is terrible imo. Hope it looks better on the hoof. Were they get "sinister" from that is beyond me. Don't think they are creating any fear in their RWD competitors

The word sinister is a little much, but the wheels are aggresive and there are quad exhausts ...

What's a TSX-V?

Go ahead and hang me but... I'm not impressed.

The current TL is a great value but it's already putting too much power through the front wheels and it's got horrible torque steer as it is.

If you're going to get serious Honda... and I hope you are... do it right and give us, the enthusiats, a RWD sedan that is actually fun to drive and not just great on paper.
