Acura TL
Acura TL
I saw the new TL today and it is one of the most beautiful cars I ever seen. Its the first time I seen it in real life and I was stunned, the car was beautiful. I almost hit the car in front of me because I couldnt stop stairing at it.
Anyone else think the new TL looks amazing?

For the sake of accuracy, I inversed the power-to-weight. . . making it pounds per pony.
1997 Z-28:
Curb weight: 3591 lbs
Peak Power: 285 hp
Power-to-weight ratio: 12.6 lbs/hp
2004 TL:
Curb weight: 3482 lbs
Peak Power: 270 hp
Power-to-weight ratio: 12.9 lbs/hp
Except for the fact that your 5.7 churns-out 325 ft-lbs vs. the TL's modest 238, it could hang with you. From a standstill, however, you WOULD still own it.

Rep Power: 307 I think it looks ok. I just dont like the fact that it looks EXACTLY like the TSX! I have seen both in person many times, and its very hard to tell the difference. The only way I can see its the TL in a heartbeat is by looking at the tail lights. As for everything else, it looks the same to. If im paying nearly 10,000 more for the TL over the TSX, I sure as hell I would want my TL to look waaaayyy hotter, and not get it confused for a car which is 10,000 less. If I had a choice, of course I'd get the TL, but if its a money issue, id get the TSX, same **** to me.
My dad just got the silver one with black interior. That car is soooo sweet> 
The six speed is soo smooth and the brembo calipers look so huge under the 17's. Plus it is so comfortable inside.

Rep Power: 0 I kinda thought the TL Looked like a Mustang in a lot of respects, aside from having 4 doors. And the only thing I didn't like about the TSX was the chrome strip around all the windows. It's way to flashy and just doesn't look good to me at all ..

Rep Power: 0 I love the new Acura TL, just test drove the 6-speed (very smooth and responsive) and man does it haul *** and looks awesome inside and out. The bluetooth enabled in-car handsfree system is the best I've ever seen. I especially love the way it looks with the A-Spec package...
Kinda pricey add-on though (~$6500), but comes with...
- High performance, track-tuned shocks and springs
- Lightweight 18x8.5 alloy wheels
- High performance Yokohama 235/40VR18 95W tires
- Performance brake pads (automatic transmission-equipped models)
- Aero kit featuring front air dam, chin spoiler, side skirts and choice of deck lid or rear wing spoiler
- A-Spec steering wheel
- A-Spec badging

Rep Power: 0 The TSX is nice, but not worth the price per hp, since it's just the euro accord w/ less hp. You can get a fully loaded '04 Accord w/ pretty much similar luxuries, but more hp for the same price. I'll admit that the TSX is really nice looking (love the tails and led side mirrors), but I wish it had the dual side markers like the TL imho.
Basically the TSX fully loaded is about $28-29K w/ 200hp, while the '04 accord cpe fully loaded is also about $28-29k but w/ 240hp. Weird, you'd expect the Acura line to be a bit better, I guess it's because the TSX is just the smaller euro accord.

Rep Power: 365 Very nice car. I think $34,650 is a little high though, and after another $6,500 for the A-Spec package, there are better deals in my opinion. I'd rather have a 330xi and spend the extra $4,000 on mods.
