Remember.... tall gears 5 speed, will make it ultimately a slow car. That's still about a second faster than the 4 cylinder version TSX though.

I am sorry, but I can't stand slow cars..... That car is just too slow for today's standard. Sorry mate. LOL.

According to Edmunds.com, the curb weight of an 07 TL-S MT is 3563.... 3680 for the AT.

An 09 TL-AT weighs in at 3726. I would guess a V6 TSX would weigh in at 3600lbs - 3650lbs... which is pretty heavy.

Type-S 5AT weighs around 3670~ 3680.
Regular version 6MT weighs 3478 (without the NAVI) and 3497 (with the NAVI)
Regular version 5AT weighs somewhere in the 3600+ range.

The lightest 3rd gen TL is the regular version 6MT, like what I used to own.

So yeah, looks like the new V6 TSX could weigh more than the 3rd gen TL 6MT....

He he... actually bunch of guys at acura forums don't like the new TL either. TSX is kind of ugly too.

With the TL getting so big and ugly and more expensive, the V-6 TSX can now be called somewhat the last gen TL successor. Similar in size, interior layout etc.

You know to this day when I see a nice 3rd gen TL (I can't help but look with most of them driving around with high beams on) I still always take a 2nd look. Its just a great looking car inside and out. I am so unsure how they just threw that nearly perfectly shaped car out and came with these new monstrosities.
