I went to the Acura dealer a couple of weeks ago to see the new TL and see if it was as bad in person as it appeared in pictures…
Well unfortunately it lived up to the pictures.. What a bulbous mess, the thing is huge compared to the 3G, it didn’t help that the dealer had an 08 sitting on the floor next to it, which really drove it home.
The front end is just plain ugly, no matter how you look at it and all the different body contours and lines don’t work well together. I could probably live with the back but it’s only marginally better than the front. Also, what’s with all the chrome its everywhere including the roof line seams.
The only strong point of the car was the interior which was gorgeous and well done.
Sadly, I am now sure that the replacement for my 05 will not be a 4G TL. The front contenders now are the newly remodeled A4 or a G37.
