I think they did a good job making minimal changes, its a good design. I wonder if the rear got Altezzas though?

1) Lexus has no equavalent in AWD

personally I see it as a nice extension to the line but unfortunately as pointed out, it will have serious torque steer, even though the 2006s had less than the 2005s per Acura.

and about 300hp tl? hehee, maybe they have problems with the tranny again? ok, i am being a bit sacarstic here

with a more powerful engine and more sporty suspension, i think that should be what people are looking after. not cosmetic

Nice redesign. I like the new updated look, though it looks more like a TSX. Not sure if the Type-S will be significantly faster though. The regular TL already has tons of torque steer. Will the upgrade even be worth it??
I kept thinking Altima SE-R when I read the first post.
Until I drive one, I do not think the differences are that significant compared to the previous gen TL and TL-S.

hopefully with the new generation TL's, they can improve on the transmission and have smoother shifts.
Of course, sh-awd + increase hp + better transmission = one of the top sedans under 40k
from the pics, the rims definately make the tl more aggressive compared to the stock rims existing tl's get right now.
This is one vehicle in the Acura line they must ensure success with every new generation.

I think the car look great even though Acura is still pulling that b.s. with fwd. Even though I love the IS350 power if I had a family I would have no choice but to purchase a TL or G35. To be honest most buyers with family or a wife are look for more space. But for me it got be a coupe no matter what.
