  • Nice car.. looks definitely grew on me.. but make no mistake.. this is a drivers car.

  • ain't a bad look

  • i'm aiming towards getting this beauty. i'm debating between this, or a lincoln mkz 2007.

  • @jay713bby this definitely 

  • hhhhhhhh HONDA is trying to compete and imitate NISSAN INFINTI and TOYOTA LEXUS

  • do they offer a turbo kit for the new tl s-awd?

  • me want!

  • What's the name of the songs

  • @coldasiice ...uhh, the economy dropped completely out in October 2008, the very month this car went on sale. Very bad timing. Sales dropped for 3 reasons:

    1) All car companies took a huge drop in sales, that's why you heard about bigtime layoffs. Honda was one of the very few companies that never laid off 1 single permanent employee.

    2) New TL is bigger, more expensive, and more upscale than previous car; so less sales than before; but not less profit though.

    3) Controversial styling

  • @stealth07r1 beautiful styling* ;)

  • I wouldn't call it ugly but it looks kinda cheap? I mean Chrome or w/e that shiny silver faceplate is not in style anymore

  • This isn't ugly... it's the best looking car on the road. Makes the RL look downright old - and it's a looker itself!

  • ............

    AUTOMATIC.....

    Seriously!?

  • It's kind of ugly to me...

  • this car is not ugly, its just futuristic, you will see more cars like this after 5 years, acura just does it first

  • ugly as hell... no thanks, I'll keep my 04 TL 6speed

  • Haha. Feel free to ask questions. I am happy to give my best answer. Not all AWD systems are constructed the same way.. When it comes to towing, go by the manufacturers recommendation. As far as Acura goes, they state that NONE of their AWD systems should be towed with wheels touching the ground. They should only be towed with all four wheels off the ground.

  • this car will look better in black,

  • freaking ugly acura!!

  • مااسم هاذي السياره

  • Presently, I am in the market to lease, and Acura TL SH-AWD is on of my choices... because of the significant bargain I'm getting basically.

    That being said, I will only get this car in Palladium Mettalic (silver) or the color in this video.

    In other colors, design of this car is just too much of a freak show to tolerate.

  • 1 QUESTION: will the back wheels of AWD vehicle lock up as well if the transmission is put in Park???

  • @7150285 No they will not. The rear differential is magnetic clutch pack controlled. Thats what allows this car to be able to split torque from left to right 100 percent. It makes for amazing handling in sport driving as well as an awesome low traction AWD. But when in Park and turned off, these clutches release.

  • @jaronpv i even heard that when u step on the brake each time the clutches releases as well...

  • @7150285 Yes I do believe they do. From what I know this is to maintain a high clutch pack life. The system itself is very smart. It even monitors driving habits and conditions to actively calculate when it has become time to change the differential fluid. It is built to help itself last a very long time. This is the reason for them disengaging at times when it is not necessary to be applying torque through them, such as when stopped at a light.

  • @jaronpv I heard AWD WITH differential lock will locked up the rear wheels as well when put in "park"...or is there no such thing as an AWD differential lock?

  • @7150285 In the SH-AWD system there is no differential lock switch or option. What you may be thinking of is the previous generation of MDX, which had the VTM-4 AWD system. That did have a AWD locking switch. But this system also used clutch packs and would release when the vehicle was parked.

  • @jaronpv there just only 1 thing i need to know and i swear ill stop asking after that LOL...so that means it okay to tow a AWD vehicle thats put in park with its rear tires spinning on the road?

  • What a good video..that car is sexy

  • i love the inside and the features the cars has but i dont like the exterior for crap. it hurts to say but this is the worst looking car on the acura line up. i loved the previous generation, i dont mind the new front grill it goes real nice on the MDX, TSX and RL its just this car in general that sucks. so sad. what els is sad is the accord looks a billion times better id buy one of thos before even test driving this one...

  • 25000 and i buy it

  • @hester800 Maybe used?

  • I don't know. I don't find this car beautiful at all. Not only is it the grill but it's the V-shaped trunk, non flowing lines, the spoiler, rear end proportions, and so forth. The last TL design was sporty and elagant. This car has just gone to the ugly tree.

    It's gained considerable weight (and it is heavy) and the 3.5 and 3.8 liter engines are underpowered when compared to the likes of Infiniti and Lexus.

  • @1czelaya

    This car has a 3.7L V6. The engines are not underpowered. 3.5L 280 hp is competitive because it lacks direct fuel injection that the lexus has. 3.7L makes 305 hp, 1 less than the direct injection Lexus. Only the Infiniti makes 330 but no one else does that but the Infiniti engine also suffers from vibration at high revs and a coarse sound. Acura's engine may not be as brutal in power, but it matches BMW I-6 in smoothness.

  • Acura builds great cars, but what has been going on lately? Every automobile has been looking like its from outer-space.

  • Beautiful car. Does anyone know when they will be launching acura in japan? It was meant to be in 2008 but was posponed.

  • It breaks my heart that Acura isn't doing so well. I just want Acura to go back to it's glory years in the 2000 - 2006.

  • @L4z1n3ss

    I think the glory years were from 2004-2008 when the new TL and TSX came out. 1999-2003 had transmission problems

  • @xoquixxoqafxo I have a 1997 Acura CL 3.0 and ur right the transmission on alot of the acuras from those years did mess up. Mine is coming up on 180,000 miles and I always run it hard, everywhere I go. Guess I just got lucky. you can check out my videos if you like.

  • im not trying to diss u but the 08 looks better this shit is ugly.

  • @kingwest342003

    Your probably just looking too much at the grill of the car, replace that and it is a perfect successor to the previous models design.

    My cousin owns an 07 TL and I have a 10 SH-AWD TL, we find that most of the time when people see this car as ugly, its because of the absurd new design for the front grill.

  • i like it

  • I thought the car itself was going to walk around.

  • Honda is stepping up with the performance, but WTF is up with acura's design! It's like the designer was abducted by alien and came back with UFO blueprints!

  • LOL @ dude wanting people to kill themselves. That's a little extreme don't you think?

  • Ugly fucking POS. Kill yourself for liking it

  • @BenFranklin997 why do you keep looking at this car if u dont like it? i'm guessing its cos ur one of those anti-honda weirdos, whats wrong with new breakthrus in technology?ur probably a christian too no doubt..anyway why r u using a computer? go get a typewriter and a muscle car u fucking simpleton

  • Out of all the crap on the road, you ignorant idiots choose to bitch about honda!?! Gee cuz I thought having the highest resale value of any other car on the road meant something...or inventing the dohc engine..or variable valve timing..or the fact that every other car company copies honda's engine bay..I think honda fans should be bitching!

  • i test drove this car yesterday OMFG wa an amazing ride def. worth the money

  • @Santos9331

    You gonna get it?

  • @SuperSoulSeekerdo im not sure bro but with the test drive i was pretty empres, what do you think since you been having it for a while now?

  • @Santos9331

    I totally love the way it drives. So far so good. I guess it depends on what your preference is. It's not gonna perform like the G power wise but it's handling is outstanding.

  • Excellent

  • very,VERY nice car!

  • Acura as one of the best reliability, dependability and satisfaction i think Honda did a great job and if you guys dont believe you go check consumer report for 2010 car manufacture models because i was surprise about Lexus, Porsche, Toyota, Acura and Ford are doing great....... BMW, Audi and Mercedes Benz as the lowest from all of these cars which was embarrassed...

  • Acura has alot of problems, but it is at the manufacture faults. Please do some research about some of the problems of the acura car that you are going to buy before you really decide to purchase it.

  • @acura1877 Actually Acura doesn't have that many problems i think you need to read the 2010 Consumer Report and you will see for yourself which car manufacture as the best reliability, Dependability and Satisfaction and you will be surprise....

  • @acura1877 moron shut up..Acura/honda are the most reliable vehicles on the road today.

  • @acura1877 i beg to differ with the problems.my brother has a 04 acura tl 122000 miles on it with ZERO maintenance and it looks, acts and drives as if u just got it from the dealer

  • 07 tl's are the best in my opinion.

  • @LADYSLiiK15 yep

  • Fuck yeah man, the older TL's are so much sicker, this car only has a few exterior design flaws. Excited for Acura will give us next!

  • nice car but 04-08 was jus amazing, cant wait to see waa the 2013 would look like

  • @outandgone best lookin TL daysss.

  • I love the white leather!!

  • beautifullll car! Love it in white too!

  • I just wish Acura would get rid of the damn beak grille!! I hate it, it doesn't fit with the rest of the car. 

  • @L4z1n3ss If you dont like it you can ask the dealer to paint or have it painted some where else and it looks better

  • @L4z1n3ss well u know u can change it, you dont have to have the factory grill if u dont want it

  • sexy..

    

  • What a beautiful car...I love the color!

  • art

  • the car is gorgeous. i saw it on the road and fell in love ♥

  • yo this car looks gangsta i dont get how could u not like it lol

  • I love this car great new look

  • Acura please get rid of the flappy gear pads and bring the old tiptronic back. also improve the dash and side plastic material inside. they look so cheap.

  • acura is ugly now... I would say bring back the RSX but they would throw the duck bill grill on it and the ugly pointed back.... UGLY... use to be a good company.

  • Beautiful car.. i really like the new design of the Acura.. so thumbs up!

  • Comment removed

  • In My Opinion I think that car is cool, luxury, fancy, awesome, and styling, I Like That Car a lot it seems like a really really really really awesome car, and it probably is

  • I don't know what Acura design engineer's were thinking when they redesigned the Acura TL; it's incredibly homely. It looks too cheesy with all the chrome accents and that ugly grill, my god!! The rear fascia looks even worse. The former model was nicer, imo.

  • @bgoldrock

    Bullshit. The last gen was crap compared to this one. The shield grills are super nice to me.

  • everyone needs to chill with the hate on acura. i have this car. considering it has 305 hp and the car is around $40,000, you get way more for your money instead of ripping you off like the 5 series bmw which in order to have that 305 hp you have to spend $55,000+

  • @Rcf121090 335i coupe gives u 300 and 400 lbs torque for around the same price as an Acura TL...

  • @Rcf121090

    The 5 series is vastly superior, its faster, more luxurious, quieter, with better MPG and not based on a gotdamn Accord.

    Kill yourself, you fail in life

  • @BenFranklin997 Yea think again bro. The engine on these cars are built much, much better than BMW. If you don't believe me look it up. Myself and several of my co workers own BMWs and Audis, and have nothing but problems with this and that, esp with the transmission. But I agree that BMW is more luxurious than this TL, besides the fact that you pay triple the price cuz its German.

  • @ToRoNtOGuYY

    So Acura makes twin turbo cars? They make V-8 cars? They make V-10 cars? They make V-12 cars? They make V-12 cars with turbos? Do they have Acura diesels? Do they have Acura hybrids? They make I-6 cars?

    Funny BMW has all those. Acura's are for blind idiots. No technology at all. They all have Honda engines.

    You fail.

  • @BenFranklin997 Is Acura a mutli-million dollar company like the other car manufactures? Does Acura run from a small one stop location? Can Acura make a V8, V10 engine? Can Acura make Diesel? Oh yea no your correct, Acura can't do the above, no way, their a small company located in Japan. A big company like Acura are a bunch of bozos that dont even know what V8 even is.

    Please, if your gonna reply back, put some thinking into it, really. Dont come with kiddy replies.

    Cheers.

  • @ToRoNtOGuYY

    You are just another dumb Honda ricer. If you looked at company market values, Honda and BMW are both worth near like amounts. So STFU ricer.

    This is a fancy Accord its ugly as an Aztek, its slow, its ugly, and hahahahahahahhahaha at it and you

  • @BenFranklin997 If you don't like this car like all the other assholes out there, then why are you watching this vid? HAHA ok Im just going to go to a vid about the 5 series and bitch on how ugly it is. And its slow? yea cause 5.5 seconds to 0-60 is definitely slow...

  • @ToRoNtOGuYY hmmmm yeah thats why they have a v8 in development that will start out on the rl and a v10 thats in the new upcoming nsx so get ur facts straight

  • @NathanRix lol, you got it mixed up, im being sarcastic towards BenFranklin997, cuz he thinks Acura can't make V8 Turbo engines. Hes just another bozo.

  • Comment removed

  • @BenFranklin997 I believe there are some companies out there who value different things, such as fuel efficiency and clean environment. Some car companies don't see a value of V-8 + in society.

    Acura makes F1 cars, the NSX was great for it's time, and to please some of you, they are making the 2011 NSX V-10. But anyway, it's ok... because you can't hear me over the loud music you are listening to in your BMW while an expensive German hooker is taking a dump on your chest. Auf Wiedersehen

  • What quality? Its built in OHIO. It is an American car like a Chevy. It is a fancy Accord and its slow, ugly and UGLY

  • @BenFranklin997 Hey don't rip on Americans for making slow shit, we make some of the fastest shit in the world (that goes in a straight line) Fuckin Boeing 747, Ultimate Aero SSC, Fuckin Space Shuttle bitch??

  • Its funny how people talk about something and never driven the car or appreciate the quality. I researched my car before buying it, and I love BMW'S but by far acura is the better car and a bargain for what you get. Just to get the power a TL has a bmw 3 series is going to get pricey. Most of the interior is letherette and not quality leather. Plus I have friends with BMW's and they regret buying them because once a problem starts they persist. I want comfort not balls to the wall type car.

  • You are an idiot and know know anything about cars.

  • the folks that don't like the looks of the car are ADAMENT that it's ugly. LOL. i think it's a good looking car.

    [ozza,am. bmws MAY allegedly be 'precision machines', but unlike acuras, which ALWAYS have 'excellent' reliability ratings, bmws are 'mediocre' at best.

    per your logic, bmws are mediocre cars for mediocre people trying to buy 'class'. LOL.

  • wow they fucked up the design the older ones are way better looking

  • ugly, underpowered, ugly, no technology, slow, ugly, fancy Accord

  • Most people who make negative comments have never driven one,

    this car is a fine piece of engineering compared to the BMW ,which comes with no leather and not much else; the Acura is a major bargain in comparison .

    try one you might actually like it.

  • @scanvids No its not. Its a fancy Accord built in Ohio. BMWs are precision engineering. Does Acura have anything like the M3, M5, M6? Like the Z8? Like the 850? Do they have turbo I-6s, V-8s, V-12s? V-10s?

    lol Acura copied the X6 with the ZDX. BMW>Acura

    TL is ugly car for ugly people

  • @BenFranklin997 actually Acura is trying to be gas efficient thank you. I am sure the 2 companies have different goals in life.

  • @BenFranklin997 But the 2011 Acura NSX is V-10 btw if you want to compete in the fast car department

  • @scanvids scanvids, PRECISELY. i have a honda accord, and LOVE the quality. the acura tl and rl are equally well built.

  • @BenFranklin997, 'underpowered'? for what? 300 hp is all you need to get on and drive on the expressway. nobody is REALLY 'racing' $40,000 cars, no matter what they say. people who can TRULY afford the more expensive cars like the bragging rights of lots of horsepower, but never use it, because that would be destroying the car.

    then again, thats for folks who actually BUY the cars, and don't 'dream' about them.

  • I agree I think people underestimate them.

  • People complain far too much about the Acura grille. I think this thing is the sharpest looking sedan in its class.

  • @motormusique i even like the grill man its awesome

    

  • ill

  • Nice care but way too many buttons on the dashboard. Whatever happened to the uncluttered/clean dashboard of the last TL? It would be perfect if it wasn't for all those tons of buttons which belong on an airplane not a car.

  • i dont really like the front of the car that much tho

  • Sounds reallllyy refined on startup :D

  • Finally, you can push the big red button without exploding!

  • God I so want that car. I have a friend who has one and she let me drive it. Amazing!

  • Phenominal product, one of the finest on the road hands down, but the visual redesign is beyond horrific and has critically hurt sales.............. Anyone could have seen that coming.

  • I'd say more people like the new design rather then hate it, you just hear from the ones that hate it a lot more!! Personally, i love the new design...only downside is it is rather large...It would be a 10 for me if it was a little bit more sleak looking.

  • @Rcf121090 i really agree with you about public opinion because in any situation, you'll always hear more from those who have something negative to say than those who have something positive to say. the ney-sayers are wasting their time online talking about how much they hate the car's design as if anyone really cares, while people who like it are just buying it. lol.

  • The TL SH-AWD is surprisingly fast for a big car. It does 0-60 in the low to mid 5s. I believe its faster than the G35 sedans and probably just as fast as the new G37 sedan. I'm not sure about the G37 vs TL SH-AWD in times though, because there hasn't been much coverage on both of there times.

  • Good you got the total tech package, its just a beautiful car man!

  • This is super sexy looking. I've seen it in person and it is always pleasing to stare at.

  • yes it is a desent looking car overall. But i just don't think for me i can get pass that ugly front "Grill"? I walked out of the Dealership because I of it. Now if Acura would color match the Grill? or redesign it? It might be more apealing to most everyone? This is what I'm hearing from people I've talked to also.

  • @gilshog umm...you can get the dealer to paint the grill.

  • i love the new designs, it makes me think of like this hi-tech space shuttle

  • Beautiful car...I don't know why everyones bashes the new design...I happen to like it.

  • for a car company that says its a technology innovator the quality of there navigation is horrible compared to Audi, BMW, Mercedes Benz and Infiniti .

  • It is usable, it is just really old.

  • @enrado

    wrong!!!!!! i own a bm and a acura . acura is the best navi compare to the rest u just mention, easy to use and far exceed those other brand.

  • @jaymeymaddie I agree. I just got the Acura after having an Infiniti G35 and the Acura's navi is far superior. In fact, the entire car is far superior to the new G37. That's why I switched....

  • Acura TL would be the perfect Sedan for luxury, sport and seating for friends to enjoy the ride of course. Wouldn't you agree? Now as the G37, sure it comes couple & sedan. But I'd also prefer the G37 Couple because it's more sporty.

  • yeah you must not know. the only two acura's that have the newest and clearest version of their navigation system is the acura tl and the new zdx. It's quick, clear, precise, and large and bright.

  • cool

  • this car is really amazing the manual transmission lets this car do 0-60 in 5.2 seconds!!

  • Just bought the same car in black... About 45 minutes ago! I can't stop saring at it. As cool as the outside is, the inside is AMAZING. Feels like you are in a fighter jet.

  • i seriously don't know why people bash about the acuras design... like this one alot.

  • Nice car....I want one.

  • sick color combo

  • mmm i dont know.. Acura has always been trying to distinct themselves from other makes by making their cars somewhat futuristic looking, but this is kinda like going to far..

  • disgusting.

  • wHoA !! this car is beautiful!!!

    I love the exterior design !!

    and the interiors are really awesome !

    =D

    I want it !

  • SUPERB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
