Grill ruins the car. Interior looks pretty. But it's a Honda. good for you though!

The "new look you posted looks cool I guess car have to grow on you. At first I disliked the 3GS, but the more I saw them, The more I liked it. The interior looks real clean Enjoy it, and dont be a stranger to CL

Congrats man. I was surprised when acura came out with this TL. It has a more aggressive look compared to the 3rd generation. Don't change the guillotine grill, it's the new trademark Acura symbol. I was never a fan of Acura but with this new TL they hit the nail on the head.

Not my cup of tea, but the interior color looks good. Like so many others have said, the aftermarket grill really makes a huge improvement over the stock!!! G/L with the new ride.

Do you get a Batman action figure with it?

Congrats on the new car.

Congrats on the new TL. I love that new color and the soft Milano leather. At first I was not a big fan of the new TL styling and a bit disappointed but I have been seeing more and more on the road lately and it is growing on me. I am not surprised you were won over after the test drive as I was very impressed after test driving it too and was more forgiving of the grill afterwards. As for the grill options check out Acurazine and pics of aftermarket and painted grills. I saw a black 09 TL last week with the grill painted black and it looked really sharp.

I hear what a lot of you are saying. Just like UDel said, I actually HATED the look of it on the commercials and pictures. It wasn't until I started seeing them in real life did the design grow on me. Another possible mod---painted grille.

Painted also looks much nicer, but that aftermarket grill was probably the best.
