"WHEN"... sadly no longer

@@vette4118 that what happens when Acura thought the market still remain the same as 2005.

Still happy to this day that I bought a 6 speed manual TL sitting at 244k miles right now still running and driving like a new car

[@dohc1067]

One of the best performance sedans of its time. I love that engine bay and even more so the interior.

[@mrdave777]

Possibly the best affordable Japanese Touring and Luxury. Just terrific!!

I remember well when these were new. They still look great, and they also have impressive performance for what they were, even today.

[@omidnamin9004]

this car was way ahead of it's time. would still look modern if it came out today

As an owner of an ‘04 Accord, it’s amazing how frumpy the Accord sedan looks compared to this amazing body.

[@damilolaakanni]

This TL (and the TSX) was a rebadged Accord, just not the one North America got.

[@a.person7825]

@@damilolaakanni The TL and North American Accord are based on the same chassis. I should’ve clarified that my Accord was N. American made in Ohio, also called the Honda Inspire in some Asian markets including Japan. The TSX was based on the Accord mostly sold in Europe, Japan and Australia.

Agreed. I was considering an 07 Accord V6 6spd. But found and 06 TL 6spd base. Couldn't be happier. I absolutely love my Acura

I had a 04 6spd pearl white. Used too much oil leaking but drove great. Going to the 07 auto was nice but nothing like the manual. Cant wait to land another 6 spd

[@mynamemeanspeace]

update. I landed a 6spd 04, clean title, extremely ridiculously good price. It of course needs some work, but so far drives very very well considering. No leaks!

[@hollaz2]

the greatest car of all time

[@slgpph]

Loved my 2005 6MT. I had the Aspec kit and it looked so good. I took it to the track at 900 miles and ran back to back 14.5 ET. I was good with that. I sold it in 2011. Regret!
