Car Forum / Acura Cars / October 20052006 TL
I am thinking about purchasing a 2006 TL. The only thing I dislike a lot is the silver grill outline. Are there any aftermarket replacement peices that will make the grill area all black, similar to my 2003 CL? Skip just purchased a 3.2 TL today,sure hope it lives up to my expectations,also tried a lexus es330 and a bmw 3 series,thought the tl was by far the best choice. I am looking forward to a lot of years of happy motoring >I am thinking about purchasing a 2006 TL. The only thing I dislike a lot >is the silver grill outline.

Signature"Sun worship is fairly simple. There's no mystery, no miracles, no pageantry, no one asks for money, there are no songs to learn, and we don't have a special building where we all gather once a week to compare clothing. - George Carlin just brought our 2006 TL home today and my first impressions is ,this is one awesome auto,had to go out tonight and drive this machine,it has nav and I cannot operate everything, but it will come to me, I cannot keep my foot out of the carb,just an absolutely smooth machine. I can not believe I have been driving a camry for the last 10 years. >I am thinking about purchasing a 2006 TL. The only thing I dislike a lot >is the silver grill outline.

Car's got fuel injection!! :-P That's okay - I still talk about the "gas" pedal in my diesel work truck. I hope I keep my foot out of the carb when I give it the gas! Mike >I can not believe I have been >driving a camry for the last 10 years. Hahahahahahaha! I went from a Solara to a TL. Screw Toyota! Signature"Man who shoot off mouth, must expect to lose face." - Confucious I have a question regarding the horsepower of the 2006 TL. A recent Fortune magazine ad listed the TL with 270 horsepower. The Acura Website shows 258 horsepower. Which source is correct? I have a 2003 Cl Type S with 260 horsepower and sports suspension. Anyone drive both car and compare performances. Also, what is the accuracy, in feet, of the stock GPS. My Garmin GPS V is good to 7 feet. TIA, S >>I can not believe I have been >>driving a camry for the last 10 years. > > Hahahahahahaha! > > I went from a Solara to a TL. Screw Toyota! Interesting, I started to answer 27o hp but decided to look into it a little further. Indeed the Acura website does say 258 hp. Went to specifications and again 258 hp but there you will not an *. It appears that there is a new ratings system hence the change in HP which I imagine now applies o all cars. * For 2006, Acura is complying with the new SAE standard for measuring horsepower and torque. This new method slightly reduces a vehicle's horsepower rating and torque due to more stringent testing procedures. Very Interesting!

Which source is correct? George: Thank you for verifying my questions. I thought I was crazy with both the Fortune magazine ad and then looking on Acura's own website. I wonder, if the calculating of horsepower is now different, then what the 2003 CL Type S would be rated at, using the new formula.
