Apparently, AutoBlog likes it also. :thumbup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRed05 Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 If they had that drivetrain in the previous body style, I'd buy one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Jones Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 Great move, unfortunately they stuffed it into one of the most hideous cars on the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FyrhzrdGT Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 I like the interior, and the older TL-S 6-speeds were fun with FWD, so AWD should take care of their torque steer, but yeah... god its ugly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tripleskate Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 I wonder how much weight you could reduce just by taking all of those plastic coverings/sound deadening out? I'm guessing 100 pounds, easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too true...they could NEVER have a TL Type-S now with gunmetal grille and wheels, as that would surely be nicknamed "The Platypus". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeitgeist57 Posted February 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 Keep in mind that the engine bay cover, porkiness, unnecessary kit is to win over the fags that have flocked over to Audi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTQ B4U Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 I liked the previous gen, but this one....not even with AWD and 6spd. Especially when "Kitted out with Acura's comprehensive technology package, our TL tester stickered at $43,195 including delivery" There are better choices in that price range and quite honestly....my money isn't going towards a $40k+ new car. I'd much rather buy a couple year old lower mile much nicer car. http://www.autoblog.com/2010/02/15/2010-acura-tl-sh-awd-6mt-review/ I still can't get over the ugly styling, but I applaud Acura for putting a six-speed manual transmission mated to their SH-AWD system on the new TL.

Tripleskate Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 LOL, that's 3-series money, and anyone with a brain knows 335i > TL. ---Edit--- I went and "built" a 335i sedan on BMW's website. -6MT -Sport Package -Sport Suspension $43,625 Worth the extra $500? Damn right it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zach1647545520 Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 The 3rd gen is by far the best body style. Replacing the grill on the 4th gen makes a big difference though... http://ronjonwheels.com/ronjonimages/large/4g-tl-grille/48.jpg We've also had a few of the grills painted to match the body at my dealership which looks better than the factory polished silver. Make sure you get the 5 spoke wheels too =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unfunnyryan Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 That car is ugly as hell, even the engine bay is stupid My dad drives one of the last gen (non ugly) ones, and you pop the hood just to have plastic covers everywhere. Moreso than the current one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I caught one of those gens on fire luckily got it stopped before any damage, but those plastic covers are a pain in the ass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
