  • Acura TL 2009
    2009 ACURA TL The new, fourth-generation TL is noticeably larger than its predecessor. It gains 15.7 cm in length, 3.5 cm in the wheelbase, 4.6 cm in width and 1.1 cm in height. It is weightier, too, by 70 to 155 kg, depending on the model. The latter weight increase is explained by the fact that, for the first time, the TL has access to Super Handling-All Wheel Drive, or SH-AWD for short. The base model houses a 3.5-litre V6 under the hood, whereas a 3.7-litre V6 powers the SH-AWD model. Interior and trunk Front access is complicated by wide doorsills that attract dirt, and beefy seat bolstering. The seats are very comfortable and hold the occupants very snugly in place. Some people will find that the head restraints crowd to their head. Drivers enjoy a very good driving position. Headroom and legroom are relatively generous. The rear doors do not open very wide, the openings are small and the doorsills are wide and pick up dirt, which makes it difficult to access the back. Grime collects on the rear edge of the rocker panel and can easily end up on your clothes. The seat is comfortable for just two, as the middle section is anything but accommodating. Headroom and legroom are average. If the front passengers adjust their seats even a bit lower, there is almost no foot room left for the rear passengers. The seatback does not fold but it does have a small ski pass-through.

  • 2004 Acura Tl
    Head Office: CAA-Quebec 444 Bouvier Street Québec, QC G2J 1E3 2004 ACURA TL The all-new Acura TL is higher and wider than the previous model, and nearly 16 cm shorter, though the wheelbase is practically the same. Honda now has its sights on the Audi A6, BMW 5-Series and Mercedes E- Class, rather than the Audi A4, BMW 3-Series and Mercedes C-Class, as before. In putting up a front-wheel drive against the recognized value of RWD and/or 4WD, Honda is definitely not short on ambition. Interior and trunk Access to both the front and rear is easy. The front seats prove to be either comfortable or very comfortable, depending on your frame. Heavily built people find their back resting against the side bolsters, instead of the backrest, which is not comfortable on long trips. But if you can settle in between the bolsters, you’ll fully enjoy the seats. Thanks to the tilt-telescoping steering column, the driving position is excellent. Two adults fit comfortably into the rear, with good headroom and legroom. The seatback has a ski pass-through but does not fold down. The latch plates are located further down on the fender wells than before, but they can still catch or soil your clothing all too easily. The roomy trunk has a good, big opening. The trunk-lid hinges are recessed now and won’t squash things underneath. Convenience and safety Our test car was well finished but afflicted by creaks and rattles. As usual with Honda, road noise is clearly audible—to much so for a car in this price range set to compete with the midsize sedans from Germany.

  • Model Overview 2005 Acura TL
    2005 Acura TL : Model Overview INTRODUCTION The 2005 Acura TL luxury-performance sedan truly defines the next level of the Acura brand. It's a vehicle that combines increased performance with a dynamic design, new technologies and precision craftsmanship. Combining sophisticated performance and athletic style, the third-generation TL can be summed up simply: "It is the signature of Acura." The 2005 TL represents the third generation of Acura's luxury-performance sedan. Originally introduced in 1995, the second-generation TL was launched in the Fall of 1998 and quickly took over the luxury vehicle market, becoming a best seller and setting the benchmark for competing products. TL buyers appreciated the previous-generation model for its overall performance and high feature content. The subsequent Type S model, that debuted in 2001, brought the TL to a higher level of performance and appealed to buyers looking for more of a "driver's car." The 2005 TL luxury-performance sedan builds upon and exceeds the previous Type S in terms of handling and performance, refinement, and technological features for consumers who want a dynamic blend of performance and luxury. What's New For 2005 o Dynamic Navi Package Model o Hands Free Link™ – Bilingual Wireless telephone interface with steering wheel mounted controls MARKETING POSITION The 2005 Acura TL will compete in the expanding Canadian luxury vehicle market. Although the previous-generation TL has been established as a top seller, in recent years competing products have emerged as popular alternatives. The third-generation TL benefits from increased levels of luxury and performance. As such, it is designed to offer an affordable alternative to car buyers shopping in the higher-end of the luxury market, such as the BMW 5- series and Audi A6.
