Ugly as hell, I dont understand how they could drop the ball like that. The new Maxima looks so much better than this shiit that it's not even funny.

new maxima is clean as f*ck. i'm glad i got the current version TL. its much hotter than the 09.

if you notice they jacked the maxima body style then added those ugly body lines and the beaks and **** on there.

but the grill and front of the maxima looks good, whereas this grill is gaudy as f*ck.

[Diggy_Dat_Niggy]

TL look like it mated with a falcon


not feeling that at all, ewww

[Logic86]

If you started looking from the rear and work your way across it was looking good, then you get to the front and go wtf

[Brooklynzson]

[Wilt Chamberlin]

The new Maxima looks much better than the previous one, probably the best looking sub $40k 4 door out right now.

[Diggy_Dat_Niggy]

Yeah the maxima pricing is a bit steep if you ask me

[Wilt Chamberlin]

Maxima starts at 29,900, people who load up on options are suckers.

yeah me too the sticker should be around 25gs

[Brooklynzson]

the 09 RL is fukkin hideous too, i'm thinkin about copping the 05-08 model...

yeah you better off doing that they dont hold up there value as much as a TL

Big time waste, shiit is probably the most plain looking "luxury" car I've ever seen.

[Brooklynzson]

yea i know i had an 03 paid 26,000 and 3 years later got only 12,000 for it :thumbsdow

I like them, the interior is dope, & i like Acuras had 6

[beaniemac]

yeah but the car that's only 29,900 doesn't have leathers, HID headlights, and most of the bells and whistles one would expect for a 30 grand automobile. thats why I like acuras. the only option is automatic or manual transmission and navigation system.

[beaniemac]

the 09 RL is fukkin hideous too, i'm thinkin about copping the 05-08 model...

I'm not feeling any of the 09's personally. the TSX, TL, and RL are all wack IMO. the current body style was killin it IMO.

although, I can't front, the MDX, and RDX both look dope with the new styling.

u might be able to get a good deal on a TL since the new body style is droppin soon.

Yea you right Acura fuucked up all th 09's, I do like the tsx though, but interior wise all of them are on point...They will bounce back though

[houston911]

i think that 29k is a ripoff, maybe im just cheap though

yeah me too the sticker should be around 25gs

yup, sticker should be like 25, then im trying to talk em down to 21-22 and free oil changes for a couple of years :laugh:

[kemyran]

Both these cars are awful looking with the Acura being the lesser of two evils.

[beaniemac]

interior wise, they're all killin it. u definitely right about that. I saw the inside of the 09 tsx and RL in person, and the RL has so much wood in it, it look like they took out a rainforest.

but with that being said, if ur droppin that kinda paper for a car, it should definitely look good on the outside as well as the inside.

also, for the TL, they have increased the horsepower in it by a lot. my **** got like 260 HP and its fast than mu'f*cker, but the new one got like 280hp, so its really gonna be fast tho

Yea the TL's are quick especially the Type-S 6-speed's, I was in my Nsx the other day and 1 tryed to race me, but gas too high for all of that, I dont rev past 4k nowadays...:sad:

[beaniemac]

[beaniemac]

2005

since the body style has only changed for the 09, i can still front like im in an 08 cuz my sh*t is mad clean still. aside from a couple of minor details, most people wouldn't even know the difference.

[ROB BROWN]

yeah the current tl's look way cleaner than the new ones....I always see fine a$$ women driving em 2....

[MIKE BLESS]

Big time waste, shiit is probably the most plain looking "luxury" car I've ever seen.
yeah but sometimes that's the point.

get somethin that's "luxurious" but low key at the same time, like say, a green sedan of your choice. make sure it's green though.

stay low key, you know. anyways, I still recognize the 05-08 TL's immediately from the side, I wouldn't say that they're extremely plain lookin but that's just my opinion.

that's just all aesthetics though, since we're on the 05-08 model, how have those performed in crash tests? I only ask cause I figure that they're probably pretty good; the accords that were made from model year 03-07 were more rigid that an S Class for a couple of years, I got in an accident in an 06 (the 4 cylinder) that could have been worse but the car came through. so I figure that the TL has gotta be similar?

[J-Lova]

Why are you surprised by this? Acura/Honda has awful styling.

Yall see that ugly RL they had to re-design?

[MIKE BLESS]

Yall see that ugly RL they had to re-design?
which one?

the last time honda made a sedan on that platform that was dope to me was the legend, everything since that has just been ordinary looking. in fact, the 90's were really the only time that honda made acuras that were particularly dope to look at in my opinion. for instance, a legend coupe is an old ass car but it's still dope today and if it's not it was like 3-4 years ago; I think that's pretty good for a car that they stopped making in 1996.

I guess that the newer accord is classified as a large car but that's way off topic

[feyz]

Acura Legend coupe >>____

[Abraham]

I like it.

[Diggy_Dat_Niggy]

I hated this initially, but when I see them on the road I like them alot...

Werd

Now I was the opposite w/ the new Maxima. That thing looks good on paper, but disgusting in real life.

[Gentility]

I hated this initially, but when I see them on the road I like them alot...i still hate it.

they just pumped your head full of commercials and that made you more welcome to the design. you fell for the trap.
