Acura’s 2009 TL Sets the Benchmark for All Near Luxury Sedans – But Not in Looks

Y KEITH GRIFFIN

Is it too early to declare the most innocuous statement of 2009? It just well might be this one: “I don’t like the new Acura TL and neither does anybody else. I haven’t seen one on the road.” “Hello, have you been reading the papers lately? Have you seen any new cars on the road lately?” was my reply. I know, it was innocu- ous to assume somebody had been reading a newspaper, too, but my point was, you can no longer determine a car’s worth by how many people are buying it because fewer and fewer people have been buying new cars lately. But, if you’re in the market for a near-luxury sedan, you’re going to be hard pressed to do worse than the 2009 Acura TL sedan with super-handling all-wheel drive, or SH-AWD as it’s called by Acura. I spent a week with a The ‘nose’ of the Acura TL has been rightly criticized for being a bit too much, but the rest of the near-luxury sedan is practically perfect inside and out. model loaned to me by Acura and came away with only two com- both the intake and exhaust for both levels: a sequential ers.
