Have you SEEN the Acura commercials flogging The. Most. Powerful. Acura. Ever. Built.? "We're slighlty sportier than a luxury limo" is decidedly NOT the message they're sending.

Hey, it IS the most powerful Acura ever... They're not lying there, are they?

It would be helpful to mention that the TL front drive version is tuned for a soft ride while the SH-AWD version is tighter more sporty tuned . It's not fair to quickly dismiss the TL if looking for a sporty driving experience on Day 3.

If Acura sends me an SH-AWD version, I will review it, but I can't comment on a car I haven't driven. |

Hey, it IS the most powerful Acura ever... They're not lying there, are they? Who said they were lying? My point is they are marketing it as a sports sedan - and as such, it's not very good. And it may be the most powerful Acura ever built, but it better not roll up on a V6 Camry and start revving its motor..... Jaeger |

I’m convinced that the TL’s designers held a séance with the Prairie School architect, discussed organic architecture, hit the crack pipe and emerged with “Keen Edge Dynamic”. ... Viewed dead-on from the rear, the TL’s creased butt looks like a Cars character, complete with mouth (Aura-like trunk strip) and eyes (rear headrest). It’s weird, true and freaky.
And then there’s the front… http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/review-2009-acura-tl/  |

The styling is growing on me now ( i drive a 2005 TSX). There true new sports sedan from Acura is going to be the the 2010 TSX with the 280 hp V6. It is lighter and more agile , so it will keep up with all the others.

Really? Their "true" sports sedan is going to be FWD with automatic only? Well, I suppose that's one approach. Jaeger |

Here is a Conspiracy Theory: the TL in the psyche of American Car Buyers will become the Pontiac Bonneville of yesterday. In the eastern philosophies Tl is the Yin and Bonneville the Yang. |

You say that the mileage was "10.6L/100km not bad at all for a mid-sized sedan with a powerful V6"...and so how was the 10L/100KM on the Maxima "better"? I fail to to understand that.

Because the Maxima consumed fewer liters of fuel per 100km traveled. When "mileage" is reported in l/100km, the lower the number, the better the mileage. When it is reported in mpg, the higher the number, the better the mileage. Jaeger |
