The Acura TL is an Accord, right?
I love the new Acura TL. I'm starting to see more and more of them on
the road. (I actually don't know how new the current body style is,
but I have been noticing them more and more over the past 6 months.)
I'd love to get one, but should I save my money and get a new Accord
instead? Of course, the Honda doesn't have the cool image of the
Acura, but the bodies are virtually identical on these cars. Is the
engine in the TL available in the Accord?
Thanks!
Mike

The Acura requires Premium gasoline; the Accord regular. Biggest
objection I had while shopping at the Acura dealers. They are very nice
autos, and I really wanted one.

We compared the TL to the Accord EX 6 cyl Auto a few months ago.
The TL is the same frame and a similar body. They bore out Accord engine and
put a high-compression head to give it more oomph, but, as another poster
pointed out, it then requires high-test. The TL was quieter, had more
comfortable seats, a much nicer audio system and included more goodies
(self-dimming mirror, fog lights, memory powers eats, etc.) some of which
you can add to the Accord as options and some you can't.
We made our pitch to both dealers for the best price and would have had to
pop for $6K more for the TL. We took the Accord as it just didn't seem worth
it.
The Accord has been a *great* car. Still miss those damn memory seats,
though.

Re: The Acura TL is an Accord, right?
I am amazed at how obnoxious the web site is. Still didn't find memory
seats, auto locking doors or auto headlights that turn on in the dark and
when the wipers are on.
