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?

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

My 2001 is 5 years old and still drives better than many new cars.
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.
That's not a good idea, you'll bend the choke butterfly valve.

Hahahahahahaha!
I went from a Solara to a TL. Screw Toyota!
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,

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.
Very Interesting!

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.

Are you ok, Karin?
Skip.
You can find extensive post concerning the HP question at
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!
