2009 Acura TL Review

We all knew a brand new TL was due, since Honda recently redid the Honda Accord that the TL is based on.  Sure enough, here is the 2009 TL -  traditionally Acura’s best selling vehicle.  I say traditionally, because we may have some problems this time around.

2009 Acura TL Spy Shots

These are the best shots so far of the 2009 TL.  Though there’s a big Zorro mask up front, there’s no doubt that the new TL will wear the chrome-tastic grille of shame that debuted on the RL.  Big ugly grille aside, the new TL looks pretty nice.  Maybe not as good as the current [...]

2009 Acura RL

The Acura RL gets an update for the 2009 model year, thought unless you’re a hardcore Acura fan, you might be hard-pressed to tell the difference.  Ever since I can remember, the RL has been a bit of a dud in showrooms because it fails on paper.  Compared to it’s rivals who sport RWD and [...]

Acura RL Recall

Honda announced a hefty recall for the Acura RL – 43,000 units are affected by it.  Considering the low sales volume of the RL, that’s a big recall.  What’s the big deal?  A faulty power steering hose that could potentially crack, leaking fluid in the catalytic converter, which could then burst into flames. Not sure [...]
