We need a review of your likes and dislikes and a comparison to the old TL (what year?) 

Congrats!

It's a polarizing design, to be sure, but I think it looks good.

"Polarizing" = NewSpeak for "ugly".

First used by GM to defend the indefensible Aztek, as I recall.

The Accord coupe is the nicest-looking car Honda/Acura makes right now IMO. It's much nicer than the sedan and it beats the new TL hands-down in the looks department. Probably performs just as well, too. Me like.  :thumbup: :skid:

A shiny new black coupe drove by my office on the QEW yesterday afternoon (while I was daydreaming) and it had huge, yellow letters on the side saying "$8000 off"...   :o  Even if that's a top-line EX-L V6 with Navi, that's still bringing it down to very affordable pricing. 

It's just enough of a discount to get a cheap-ass like me to stop in the local Honda dealer in the near future to see what's up.

I never did find that quote print out from the dealer in Waterloo, but the 08's sure are cheap!

the current offer for 09 V6's is $3,500 factory rebate, if I had bought in December it would have been $4,500.. $8,000 must be an 08, but thats a great deal for the car

Love the Accord coupe. Looks just about right, IMO (the sedan looks a little bug-eyed).

...and yeah, the TL is a beast. Not in a good way.
