The 2006 TL was the best car ever in their lineup.

I too have a Carbon Bronze '08 TL with almost 100,000 miles & I love it. Best car I've ever owned. Powerful enough & very reliable...
I absolutely hated the design of the'09-14 years but I think the new design is much better & going in the right direction. I would def give it serious consideration when buying again. It's hard to beat the value in these cars. My choice would be the base w/ the 4 cylinder cause it's lighter & more of a drivers car.

My wife has a 2009 TSX that I bought last year with 50k miles for about 17k. It is roughly the same cost of of a high end accord (a little more), but just felt a lot nicer to me.

My wife is driving an MDX (2012?), she likes it.

I enjoy driving it.

No interest in the new model. I bought a used 2010 6-speed MT that I will keep a long time (37k miles so far).

It's a blast to drive, with 305hp and the AWD/torque vectoring. Took a spin at NOLA Motorsports and can't wait to go again.

Definitely did not buy for the looks, though I've gotten used to it.

I love my 07 TL. Good power and marvelous sound system. I play DVD-As and DTS CDs regularly. Would love to get another if anything should happen to it. I don't mind the looks of the TLX.

I had a 96 tl with the 5 cyl. I loved that freaking thing. I was looking at a tlx but needed an SUV for the extra room.

I have a 2008 TL. Love it. I will drive it until.....?

All of you bitching about the design please let Acura know. They may get their shite together in time for me buy next one.

It appears they are slowly reversing the grotesque "transformer" styling that they came up with a few years back.

I still don't care for the front end of the car and the fact they try and make the front end very similar across the entire line regardless of model.

I couldn't decide between the Lexus Es350 and new Acura TLX. However, once I test drove the TLX - it was a no brainer TLX offers more bang for your buck. Performance is impressive, A lot of technology/features come standard and fuel economy is much better than advertised. Inside is spacious - i never been inside an TL but its supposed to be the same size. Really happy driving my new TLX everyday. Glad I went for a test drive.
