Is it too early to declare the most innocu- ous 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 innocuous 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 buy- ing 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 model loaned to me by Acura and came away with only two complaints: why did they have to take it back and why does it have to wear such a hideous nose? Typically, I’m not one to question a vehi- cle’s looks because it’s not my specialty, but there has been almost universal dis- dain for the front fascia of the Acura TL. It seems as if Acura ripped the nose of its SUV,the MDX, and slapped it on front 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. of the TL, a much smaller vehicle. It’s a hideous design that really hampers the mpg, according to the onboard computer. find gears. (Questions and comments about this beauty of this sedan.
