    I don't know if this is in the wrong forum, but I've always considered buying an Acura because of the pricing.

    I don't know if this has been posted, but I was surfing around Flickr and found some shots of the '09 TL. I think this is a good use of the new Acura design, unlike the RL.

    I like the rear especially.

    Note: these are not my pictures. These pictures were taken by buckeye101 on Flickr.

    But, unfortunately, I never consider actually buying luxury cars since most use premium fuel. I like the size of the RDX and Infiniti EX35, but unfortunately, those cars all run on premium fuel. In my opinion, the non-luxury variants are just boring (Rogue, Matrix, etc.)

    My wife has been an Acura fan for 15 years and currently has an 03 TLS. Been a great car but she is ready to trade. I want her to wait for the 10 Prius. I have an 06 that is great. However, my latest query is finding out more about the run on water that seems to be the coming thing. I have read the internet on runing on part water but it does not make sense to me as there could not be that much energy in a quart of water. Can some one enlighten me?

    Sweet lord, that's ugly. Here's to hoping that the grille is a fake. Looks like a giant tooth!

    I'm a big fan of the TSX, but not if it looks anything like that.

    The TL gives you the most for your money as far as luxury sport sedans go. Better than 3 or 5 series beemers and more car for less than the infiniti or lexus. Plus looks good. Gets an average 25 MPG i think too so while no Prius not bad for the level of luxury.
