Acura, Honda's luxury arm in the US, has officially revealed the upcoming 2009 Acura TL. Mind you, there's only the one image at the moment, which this being Friday afternoon and me with my head floating in a beer is reason enough to assume it has no rear end. Nothing. Just an empty void. Who needs tail lights, right?
The new acura  TL 2009, based on the Honda Accord Euro platform, is set to raise the bar for the brand. Fans and detractors alike have been split amongst themselves on the matter of its looks especially the shield-like grille but for the most part the new Acura TL 2009 is definitely equal parts evolution and revolution for Acura.
Honda has announced that the 2009 TL will offer an option bearing Honda's SH AWD (Super Human Handling All Wheel Drive), and while avoiding specific numbers that it would pack Honda's (and Acura's) "most powerful engine ever." Considering the RL (Acura's version of the Legend) holds a 220kW 3.7ltr mill under its hat, this seems a likely possibility. The FWD base model is expected to land with a 202kw 3.5ltr.
Whaddya Say, Honda Australia? Any danger of an AWD, high-powered Accord Euro for us poor Aussies?

The Acura TL 2006 is a true sports sedan, albeit with front-wheel drive.
The TL 2006 features sharp-handling, a powerful V6 engine, a fully independent suspension, and the latest active safety electronics to optimize driving dynamics. Its engine doles out abundant power, which is complemented by great handling and powerful brakes. Freeway cruising is made pleasant by the reasonably smooth ride, though the TL is no cushmobile.
The Acura TL 2006 is wrapped in a hip, bold, razor-edged design. It's a fully equipped luxury performance sedan in midsize dimensions.
Inside, it's thoroughly modern. It comes standard with the latest in surround-sound. The seats are firm and comfortably bolstered. The Acura TL isn't cheap, but you get what you pay for in performance and features. Every passive safety feature you'd expect in a premium car is included.
For 2006, the Acura TL benefits from a handful of changes. The most important change for 2006 is an active system to control torque steer, the car's one dynamic Achilles' heel. A tire-pressure monitoring system is now standard equipment, and there are a couple of new colors

acura tl 2005
The Acura TL is a mid-size sports sedan manufactured by Acura. It was introduced in 1995 to supplant the Acura Vigor and was rebadged for the Japanese-market from 1996 to 2000 as the Honda Inspire and from 1996 to 2004 as the Honda Saber. The TL was Acura’s best-selling model until it was outsold most recently by the MDX since 2007, and it has ranked as the second best-selling luxury sedan in the United States behind the BMW 3 Series.[1] Four generations of the Acura TL have been produced to date, with the latest fourth generation TL premiering in 2008 as a 2009 model

The current version is not sold in Japan.The TL “Touring Luxury” debuted as 1996 model, first with the 1996 2.5 TL available with the 2.5 L 176 hp (131 kW) SOHC 20-valve 5-cylinder engine from the Vigor. The 3.2 TL used the 3.2 L 200 hp (149 kW) SOHC 24v V6 from the second generation Acura Legend. The 2.5 TL was positioned as the sporty model and the 3.2 focused more upon a luxurious ride. The very first 1996 Acura TL rolled off the assembly line at Sayama, Japan on March 28, 1995. Sales of the 2.5 TL began in spring 1995, but the 3.2 TL was delayed until fall because of a U.S.-Japan trade dispute.[2] The first generation Acura TL had standard features including dual airbags, antilock brakes, automatic climate control, a cassette/CD player sound system, and power windows and locks. Leather was standard on the more upscale 3.2 TL, while the 2.5 TL featured a firmer suspension setup.

The Acura RL is among the best of the luxury sedans for commuting through heavy traffic. Acura's top luxury car, the RL is smooth and comfortable, firm enough to contribute to agile handling yet the ride is not so hard it sloshes your cappuccino. It rides comfortably on rough, neglected highways, the sort found around every heavily traveled metro area in America. The brakes and throttle are super smooth for comfortable driving in stop-and-go traffic, while crisp acceleration performance from its V6 engine means the RL is ready when the on-ramp is empty.

The RL comes standard with all wheel drive, giving the RL excellent stability and traction in all conditions. With all-wheel drive and electronic stability control, the RL delivers surefooted handling with little chance of a spinout in a slippery turn. This is an easy car to drive well.

Acura's latest Collision Mitigating Braking System warns the RL driver of an impending pileup with audible tones and flashing indicators, then jerks the seat belt, then hits the brakes. This is useful when everyone slams on the brakes at the very moment you're adjusting the radio. The system can reduce the severity of the collision or help the skilled driver avoid it altogether.

Real time traffic reporting is available in major metropolitan areas, providing the driver with traffic conditions and suggesting alternative routes to avoid jams. The system provides weather reports and forecasts for a planned driving route and is integrated into the navigation system.

The 2010 Acura RL boasts significant power increases over pre-2009 models. The RL comes with a 3.7-liter V6, not a V8, and we found its 300 horsepower delivered strong, smooth thrust on the freeway. We found the brakes to be excellent, with a good, firm pedal.

The interior is comfortable and functional, with controls that are easy to operate. Build quality, fit and finish put the Acura RL near the top of its class. Creature comforts abound, including cooling for the front seats and an impressively comprehensive navigation system.

Simply put, anyone shopping for a four-door, five-passenger luxury sedan in this price range should have the Acura RL on the shopping list.

The 2010 Acura RL ($46,830) comes standard with leather trimmed seats; dual-zone climate control with GPS solar-sensing system; 10-speaker, surround-sound, AM/FM/6CD stereo with USB port, MP3 jack, Bluetooth capability, XM satellite radio with three-month trial subscription; power rear sunshade; memory system; information display; keyless engine start/stop system.

The Technology Package ($3,620) adds a satellite-linked navigation system with voice recognition, rearview camera and Zagat ratings for listed restaurants; three-month trial subscription to real-time traffic and traffic re-routing information for 76 metropolitan areas in the 48-contiguous states and current weather conditions and forecasts not only locally, but also for an intended destination and the selected driving route; active front lighting system; heated and cooled front seats; and upgraded genuine wood interior trim.

Acura-approved accessories include back-up sensors ($530), deck lid spoiler ($485), car cover ($254), nose mask ($162), engine block heater ($66), wheel locks ($81), door edge trim ($39), first aid kit ($30). The All-Season Package ($334) includes floor mats, trunk tray and wheel locks. The Protection Package ($342) includes splash guards, trunk tray and wheel locks.

Safety features include frontal, side impact and curtain airbags; electronic stability system with traction control; antilock brakes, electronic brake-force distribution and brake assist; front seat active head restraints; and tire pressure monitoring system.

The optional Collision Mitigation Braking System Package includes adaptive cruise control and a crash-anticipating system that, depending on a computer's evaluation of the likelihood of the RL colliding with a car ahead, activates one of three levels of visual and audible warnings, automatic pretensioning of the driver's or the driver's and front seat passenger's seatbelts and light or hard braking. The system, which can be turned off, operates only at speeds in excess of 10 miles per hour and only when the speed differential between the RL and the other car is at least 10 miles per hour.

The Acura RL looks taut and athletic. Fresh exterior bodywork introduced on 2009 models resulted in a crisper look. Most noticeable is its bold grille, Acura's new design cue. Overall, it's a pleasant take on a familiar standard bearer.

Alongside the bright, pentagonal grille, are compound headlight units slotted into the leading corners of the fenders and wrapping around to a point on a perfect vertical from the front wheelwells, a styling device intended to mask the front overhang and visually pull the front wheels forward. Squarish fog lights are recessed at each end of a secondary air intake extending across the lower fascia split by an raised segment continuing the geometry of the grille through the front bumper. Similar lines flow back from the top of the grille across the hood, ending at the junction with the A-pillars (the side frames of the windshield).

There's a bit of wedge to the side profile, but not as severe as in the Honda Accord, which allows the RL to skirt some of the Accord's uncomfortable resemblance to the Chrysler Sebring sedan. Smooth flanks show the barest trace of a character line picking up just aft of the front wheelwell and running through the recessed, full round side door handles to end at the forward most tip of the taillights. Polished metal strips outline the side windows. A horizontal bump strip along the lower door panels defines the architectural break below which the sheet metal tucks inward toward the brightwork topping the rocker panel. Gently creased bulges give the wheelwells a touch of sportiness.

The hindquarters present something of a bustle look, in large part attributable to a kick up, aerodynamic lift-reducing lip running the width of the trunk lid. Multi-hued taillights bracket the inset cupping the lower trunk opening. A satin finish bar tops the indent housing the license plate. Squashed hexagonal exhaust tips fill spaces carved out of the lower edge of the rear bumper.

The New 2009 Acura RL luxury sedan made its world debut at the Chicago Auto Show. Featuring bold, sleek exterior styling, an upgraded interior, advanced technologies and powerful new engine, the 2009 RL once again pushes the limits of performance, style, and luxury. The 2009 RL will go on-sale spring of 2009 at Acura dealerships nationwide.
 

acura rl 2009
 
The 2009 RL furthers cutting edge technology with the addition of new high-tech items including Acura weather, Acura Link Traffic Rerouting, a new Note function for XM Radio, Active Sound Control, and Bluetooth Audio to an already robust list of features found on the previous RL. To enhance handling, new chassis technology abounds in the drivetrain in the form of improved Super Handling All-Wheel Drive, a revised steering system, upgraded coil springs, better performing shock absorbers, larger rear stabilizer bar, and more aggressive wheels and tires.
 

acura rl 2009
The New 2009 RL exterior styling is not only more aggressive, but delivers excellent aerodynamics and reduced rear lift at higher speeds. The 2009 RL’s more athletic style foreshadows the power concealed by the new power plenum front grille and blow-formed aluminum hood.
Inside, the 2009 RL features a more elegantly styled interior that includes more room for rear seat passengers, easier-to-use front seat belts, door-mounted pull pockets, softer arm rests, redesigned vents, larger/clearer lettering for HVAC controls, and easier actuation of climate control functions. A revised steering wheel with available genuine wood trim (included with the CMBS package) and metal-look accents is now fitted to the RL along with a matching wood-trimmed transmission shift knob. Complementing the steering wheel are upgraded gauges that incorporate brushed metal accents for enhanced appearance. For 2009, additional insulation, a more high-tech design of Acura’s acoustic glass windshield, and a new Active Sound Control (ASC) noise abatement system team to further reduce the RL’s already quiet cabin.

The 2009 RL retains Acura’s extremely rigid Advanced Compatibility Engineering (ACE) body structure that features extensive use of high-tensile steel and lightweight aluminum components to take vehicle construction beyond conventional safety protocols while keeping overall vehicle weight in check.

The all new 2009 Acura RL - which was also unveiled today at the 2008 Chicago Auto Show - will be offering XM NavWeather as a part of its AcuraLink service.
Acura is XM's first automotive partner to debut the XM NavWeather service.
The real-time, personalized weather tracking service is delivered directly through the Acura RL's in-dash nav system, and uses XM's "Threat Matrix" technology which provides alerts on weather threats (like hail, floods, tornado and storm warnings).
XM NavWeather also provides multi-day forecasts based on weather monitoring stations across the U.S.
The 2009 Acura RL also unveiled a new feature called "XM Note."
Developed by Acura, specifically for use with XM Satellite Radio, Note lets users record 10 seconds of live XM music along with the name of the artist, song title, and even the XM channel name that can be referred to at a later time. It's essentially a "tagging" feature built into the vehicle. Acura's Note also allows you to store up to 30 songs through the audio system.

The RL is a lovely automobile. Actually, it is gorgeous. Sitting on its own while being photographed, the RL is sleek, racy and flows beautifully. Problem is that when you leave it in a parking lot, is simply disappears into the mass of cars. I blame this mostly on the absence of chrome and more particularly, 18" or even 19" wheels. The potential exists to make the RL hot; the car, like I said, is gorgeous! An RL Type-S (or something like it) must become available and must include chrome trim, 19" wheels and an extra 15 to 25 hp.

 

acura rl 2007

Few deserving cars in the industry have ever flown so far below the radar as the Acura RL has. The Legend, the predecessor to the RL, had a fairly good run between 1986 and 1995. Throughout its career, the RL has stood alone in the shadow since 1996 when it first appeared on the scene. In substance, the 3.5RL had all the necessary goodies: a 210 hp V6, opulence, luxury and a comfortable ride. By 1999, the RL received many physical enhancements in the form of new bumpers, headlights and trim. The revised car enjoyed some success thanks to its more self-assured look. Up until 2004, numerous other improvements were introduced but nothing could slow decreasing sale figures.In 2005, a sleek new RL surfaced with some much needed styling. A new 3.5L V6 promised more performance and spirited driving; all of which were directly related to Honda's SH-AWD system. Even though the RL garnered a number of accolades, it still has failed to rival counterparts Infiniti, Lexus and the Germans.

Plush, concise, luxurious and comfortable aptly describe the RL's passenger quarters. From the supportive leather seats to the unique well thought-out center-console, at the helm of the RL is where every long-distance driver wants to be. Fit and finish along with excellent materials combine to make the RL's dashboard one of the nicest in the business.

Like every luxury car priced near the 3rd quarter of the magical 100k, the RL discards regular rotary knobs for the HVAC system. However, unlike most others, Acura manages to keep the controls very simple and extremely easy to consult.
