2012 Acura TL

[JediFarce]

Still looks ugly.

[lizardgreen2121]

fuck that I'll take a Genesis R Spec ;-)

[rig48]

Manual tranny is a big plus!

[torrid94]

I think it looks AWESOME!!

[TheDoncreation]

I loved the old model more...But I can get used to this. I really love Acura's, Reliable cars! Honda is the best! Never had 1 problem with mine TL

[sdlausen]

Only attractive feature about this car is the SHAWD, and that six speed.

[mike7743]

jeez, this car gets uglier and uglier.

[BlackTransAmdude]

Its nice to see a manual a rarity these days

[firesquare16]

Thanks honda for keeping a true manual option!

[boricuas4669]

Well, the only downside( for me ) is the styling, too unattractive !

[5Qu1Z33r]

Manual FTW!

[tropic12345]

He also didn't mention the very poor headroom in the middle of the backseats.

[davidhalifax]

The Acura brand don't seem to have the same appeal as Infinity or Lexus.

[icoopers]

@davidhalifax What!!?? You mean Infinity does not have much appeal. And frankly, for obvious reasons.

[Digs259]

the outside styling looks like a cadillac and the inside just looks like a nicer accord, not really a fan of this car. Volvo for life!

[icoopers]

@Digs259 To bad that volvos are way to unreliable nice looking, but low quality.

[imaginaiton4me]

honda should take a lesson from nissan, they should consider reduce the button to couple. for example, honda should have the the 2 mode button that will change the icon of the button when is push like the Nissan Juke. that what their car will be more easy to drive and control, and the driver focus on the road more than driver eyes looking for a button.

[bamac2008]

I think it looks older..

[7477238]

Well Acura listened to their whiny critics and now that it is toned down this car looks waaay to sedate. the 09 to 11 looks far better. At least the amazing performance is still there as it always was. Too bad people are so materialistic nowadays where looks is the only relevant thing on a car, there is so much more to a car than just looks.

[deepakm]

1:38 ... e-brake fail looks like a boner.

[89leviathan]

i always liked Acura's front grill. Looks very unique. Kinda toned down a bit now, kinda sad :( but still looks nice regaurdless though.

[davewhodavedunn]

They cleaned up the styling for sure. It now looks like a family grocery hauler. Its not a show stopper nor luxurious looking. The interior looks nice but lacks a good navi system that supports apps such as that in the 2012 camry and others. Little interior bits are missing too such a aluminum sport pedals. Acura/honda need new engineers and designers as the designers for honda are creating dull boring cars with cheap interiors and for acura they are 2 over the top. Honda/acura tech is way old

[DevPack]

hey i got that super handling system on my car lol...sooo lame.

[saboobuu]

@DevPack It was the FIRST torque-vectoring AWD system, and it has a great engine, transmission, plus, it's one of THE MOST advanced AWD systems out there...

[DevPack]

@saboobuu im not saying the system is bad. The AWD is fantastic on the Acura. I just dont like the name 'SUPER HANDLING AWD" its soo gay.

[saboobuu]

@DevPack Oh, yah, ur right

[MacSaab93]

I don't like the new styling as much.

[SweetHubby82]

@MacSaab93 i would still consider as an older design, new wont come out til 2014 and I dont think it will look less futuristic than this one. personally, I like the 2003 style more

[0HOON0]

Didn't mention the sound system. The optional Panasonic ELS setup kicks ass!

[KLINGY94]

@0HOON0 Yeah man! keep pumping that DVD-A disc that Acura provides! also enjoyed the DVD-A disc that Acura gave us for our 2008 Acura TL Type-S, too bad they didn't have Elliot Scheiner develop that system back in 2002 when we had the older TL Type-S. This review is only the tip of the iceberg apparently...

[droppinsumfudge]

I hate all acuras. so boring and ugly.

[game2heart]

It's funny how he said the new 6-speed transmission improves the gas mileage from 26mpg to 29mpg, and yet, the end says 25mpg...

[kp529]

LOL @ the hand brake

[102ashrafc]

I never had a problem with the 09-11 style, it still looks beautiful and not dull unlike other luxury cars

[caranddriverMing]

boring talk

was going to sleep

[ShermanMR2]

There is a lot of stiff competition out there from BMW Audi Lexus and Infiniti to name a few. I have no idea how this car remains in existence.

[Fuscoooo]

@ShermanMR2 - it's fugly!

[LT4746]

nice car

[LT4746]

beautiful car

[MultiMiscellaneous]

isn't the parking break look weird!!

[datpimpinboy]

@MultiMiscellaneous Yea it looks like a dick.

[KLINGY94]

Love our 2011 Acura TL SH-AWD (personally I like the first style of the 4th generation TL). The Acura TL in general is one the best luxury sport sedans out there. A lot of car for the money, Futuristic styling unlike anything else on the road, technological advancement (along with the most advanced AWD system out there), and great performance. Acura has delivered the future to the present very well.

[flynmid]

@KLINGY94 Maybe one of the most advanced awd systems. Not THE most advanced

[fvgotch]

@KLINGY94 How do you afford this car? Do you put any money away for retirement etc or are you plannong on living on social secutity? Or maybe you just make more monet than me but you don't seem all that smarter than me, so did you just get lucky or got the break because you are white? Or did you get very good inheritance grom your parents? I guess I am worndering how in the world people spent $45K on a car.

[goofeewalden1]

It's still ugly. I miss the mid 2000's design.

[tictacwannab]

Gotta love the TL with the SH-AWD and a manual transmission

[TheGtracer1994]

New styling? To be honest, it looks the same as every other Acura.

[echukgn]

why Acura not available in Dubai ??

[k00lball3r]

@echukgn because they will drift the fuck out of them and ruin them. acura has seen all the youtube videos so they have decided to not sell it there . lol jp

[remelsheikh]

This car is nice but acuras center dashboard looks cluttered and way too many buttons. Sometimes simple is better.

[tashtan1]

0:24 The rear end looks like someone gave up on the design. The bent arrow trunk is still damn awkward looking. The bumper is too high off the ground, it doesnt need to remind people of a woman that is pulling her wide skirt up in order not to get it dirty. The rear end need trimming just like Charger needed when they produced the previous versions. It looks fake, and TL's mechanic components are quality made The front is nice but still chubby like. and the chrome grill is completely unnecessary

[Ge0vone]

The shape reminds me of a Toyota camery

[datpimpinboy]

I personally dont like Acuras too much, but I gotta admit id love to have this one just because of the manual transmission and the SH-AWD

[frozencanuckreviews]

It's not bad.
