Pulling away from the curb was sufficient to garner a head nod to the improved operational refinement of the new TSX.

Pulling away from the curb was sufficient to garner a head nod to the improved operational refinement of the new TSX.

The 2009 Acura TSX is loaded with up-market features, from leather seats to Bluetooth technology for hands-free cellphoning.

The exterior of the new TSX is much more muscular than the prior version. The wheels are accented by large fender flares, and the front of the car is defined by a new grille that features a silver-colored upper bar.

Styling stays true to Acura themes for 2009, but cleans up here and there to give the car a more aggressive, more buff look and to emphasize its more planted stance.

The 2009 TSX is a 4-door, 5-passenger sports sedan, available in 4 trims, ranging from the 6-Spd MT to the 5-Spd AT w/ Technology Package.
If getting lots of bang for your buck is important, it’s hard to beat the 2008 Acura TL, as few entry-level luxury cars pack its level of standard equipment.

The exterior design of the TL is accentuated by the bold angular grille, whose lines continue on down the sides of the vehicle in clean, sharp lines.

The interior of the 2008 Acura TL Type-S is comfortable and upscale, but short of the luxury found in Lexus and Mercedes-Benz models.

Test drivers have reported only marginally performance differenced between the two TL models. In either case, the sedan’s best attributes include acceleration, steering response, and overall handling agility.
