With the 2009 TL, Acura has produced one of the world's best sport sedans.
According to Acura:
"The TL’s dramatic new styling and breathtaking performance are rivaled only by its stunning technological achievements. Each model boasts an impressive engine: a 280-hp 3.5-liter VTEC® V-6 in the TL, and the most powerful Acura engine, a 305-hp, 3.7-liter VTEC® V-6 in the TL SH-AWD. And with the TL’s first-ever available Super Handling All-Wheel Drive™ (SH-AWD®) and AcuraLink® Real-Time Weather, the road is yours for the taking."
Perhaps they are being modest, really. That description doesn't quite capture how good this car really is. First, there is Acura's well deserved reputation for quality. It's a Honda, only better. And for those in the know, Honda has long gotten high marks for quality. Then there is the fact that the TL is totally new for 2009. As Road & Track magazine noted, "the fourth-generation Acura TL emerges larger, better equipped and more powerful than ever."
The TL can be equipped in a number of ways. In base form, it comes as a very competent front wheel drive sport sedan. It's also available with Acura's popular Technology package and with "super handling" all-wheel-drive. Couple this with an available 305 HP V6, the TL becomes a formidable performance sedan. Oh, and did we mention that it looks good too?
