  • @desimunda116 Yes I second that man! my tire's wear out way to fast with this front wheel drive car... but since it's by honda they'll probably keep it front and all wheel drive since they see it as safer.

  • Dear Damon, I had 8 honda/acura products and went to Subaru. Can you guys please stop the "keen edge" hard line, angular cold looking cars. Acura use to be a brand that excited people, now it's totally lost all that excitement. RDX looks like a hat on wheels, MDX is perhaps only good looking car and TSX is nice but..blah

  • @GeorgeKnighton i agree!

  • @mehiael but im pretty sure the japanese had to approve this look or it wouldnt of came out being that acura is made in japan

  • @pochoun33137 I agree.. I own a 2006 and love it.. I drove a 2010 and apart from "looking" bloated.. now it also drives bloated.. I almost felt as if I was in a Chevy

  • this was a refresh...please can the next complete redesign be rwd?

  • so did Acura do no market research before pushing out the 09-10s?

  • The 2004-2007 Acura TL was and still is a very beautiful car.

    For some unknown reason the brass at Acura/Honda decided the TL should be very ugly.

    The last generation TL had a very unique, distinctive, and beautiful design that married Italian and Japanese passion (its that pretty lol).

    The current version just looks bloated and confusing.

    Hopefully they'll bring back the last generation's design elements next time around.
