When I was 10 or 11, I gauged the quality of stereo systems by the number of buttons they had. Using that juvenile measurement, the TL is a winner!  sSig_lol

Very CTS-ish in the trunk/rear end area, and very overbite-ish in the grille.

Acura has increased the size of the "upper denture" part of the grille on every succeeding introduction ... it was tolerable on the TSX, too damn big on the RL and now ridiculously oversized on the TL. One more model (if they had one) and the front end would be closed up completely. Maybe they had another model and it overheated so much they had to drop it. Huh?

Actually, if it weren't for the grille, I could almost like the new TL. But they also seem to have left the dash/center stack/gauge area largely unchanged, so it wouldn't feel as new inside as I'd like. And of course, it's still FWD unless you opt for AWD, and in either case, it will still feel front-heavy, front-heavy, front-heavy.

It's not as bad as I thought it would be but I still don't like the grill.  I noticed that the front shots were all from below the hoodline so that it wouldn't show the grill extending onto the hood like I've seen in a couple of spy shots.  There's something about the front that reminds me of a cartoon.  The front looks very friendly with an almost "yeehaw" like expression.
