2009 TL Spy Pics, New.
These new spy pics of the TL test mules are the best yet. Sure it still has camo tape and the mule nose covering, but they give you a decent idea of what it's going to look like. IMO, the car looks HUGE. Looks like they've also taken the buck-tooth design cue from the RL and TSX. We can only hope for a JDM or Mugen replacement. As for the rest of the vehicle, I'll reserve judgment until the official Page Ranking in late July (or so).

 Beside, the car has a car mask on (a bra) sometimes when you see a picture of a car on the net, it doesn't look at that great, but when you see it in person is a different story.

I only commented on the back end which is cleary revealed in the picture. I will save judgement for the rest of the car........ short of the possible availibility of AWD Im still very glad I picked up my TL-S last year. If the car looks the way I think its gonna I will definately be looking at other brands when I purchase my next car which will likely be 24-36 months. Its a shame because I have been in Acuras for the last 9 years....... I have always been more excited seeing spy photos of the previous new models vs. this new one.... I really hope its different than its shaping up to be.

If the end product looks anything like these photos, I'll be even more happy I own a 3rd Gen! To me, it really looks like the Maxima...which I can't stand.

I am kinda intrigued by these pics. It makes the design of the next gen TL a little more appealing following that Car and Driver photoshop. I still would not give up my third ten yet for it. But we'll see.
On a side note. Since I may be also leaving acura, I was browsing else where and saw a pretty nicely designed 2010 Suzuki on the horizon. |

All thats great, but if the trunk stays like that I wont be able to fit my Vietnamese prostitutes in the rear anymore.
Luckily there's still the RL for that i guess.

I guess I just don't understand why there's so much secrecy. It's not like another company would be able to go out and copy the thing between now and October!
