What do you think about it? i think its pretty dam ugly, and thought they could've designed way better.

Answer 1

the one picture i have seen recently posted on the futures section of Acura.com within last two weeks looks absolutely awesome.  I cannot wait for it to come out. It looks way sportier and s**y than the current one.  

Answer 2

are you crazY! 2009 TL IS THE BOMB! I will defiantly buy it  

Answer 3

i think the 2009 tl looks really good. the 08 design is allrite not that great. i actually liked the 2002 tl design the best

Answer 4

I had forgotten they redid the body style again.  I'm not too fond of that new front that Acura has come up with, but I like it better than the previous body style.  Truthfully, I have a 2003, and I like it better than either of those. By far.

Answer 5

The 09 models are ugly.  It should be an improvement for driving though.

Answer 6

IMO, the styling of the outgoing 3rd generation TL would be a hard act to follow.  Various sites over time have praised it...it sure sold well (for a number of reasons).  This, the new 4th Generation TL, IMO is not the equal in styling, but keeps in step with Acura's theme...the front resembles the MDX.  

Acura did focus group studies as part of their design, and I'll bet the '09 sells well.  And having Acura's Super Handling All-Wheel Drive, along with the more potent 3.7L motor ought to endear it to folks who complained of torque steer from the current & past models.

Also, IMO, Infinity did a better job in body styling going from their last-to-current G35 than Acura has with their recent TL release.
