Not seen this car before coming here, it's gorgeous. What is the general opinion of it on here?

It's a good FWD "sports" sedan, the new '09 TL has ditched it but added a 305 hp 3.7L engine and SH-AWD to the non-S version, the new S should be awesome.

Whoah that sounds even better, it's just such a good looking car (the current one), very nicely proportioned.  Not sure I would need a 3.7L engine but I'll have a look in a year or so...

The new 09 is a complete redesign.  Most people seem to hate the new styling.  I think it looks fantastic but what do I know :)

The performance is apparently quite good and better than the previous version.

the third generation TL is a nice car, the 09 is about as awful as anyone could design  :hurl:, see the attached link and you can see what the Acura fourm thinks about it, its very sad what Acura has done to this car >:(, it off my list for the replacement of my 05..

I have noticed in Autotrader that 2004/05 TL's used are camparable with 2004/5 TSX's.  There is quite a bit of overlap in pricing.

I have not seen any manual TL's listed used (do they exist?), but which in your opinions would make a better used car purchase?  I am just curious if people were shopping TSX used, why not step up to TL?
