acura tsx 2009 or tl 2008?

[algaemaster]

The 2008 TL is really low now. TMV is at or just below invoice according to Edmunds. I FINALLY test drove a TL today and of course loved it. I also drove the 09' TSX. Loved it also. Questions?? Are there any negatives to buying the TL since it will be overhauled in 2009? The price is essentially the same now. Only drawbacks being the TL is old news now and for the TSX the drawback is the dealing not having to work with you at all. What the hell would you people do. It is only a 30K decision so it is only logical to leave it to an internet message board.

For me it would be an 08 TL. One good reason is it is the last of a generation. Which you could say means all the kinks have been worked out. With a first year into a new design there may be something that needs addressed.

As far as the old TSX it was entry level. The TL was way better. The TSX used to only have a 4 cylinder.

Save money on the 08.

Just my 2 cents.

You really can't go wrong with Honda quality anyway!

The TSX still is a 4 Cylinder at 201 HP.

The TL is a 6 Cylinder at 258 HP.

The base price of a TSX is 29K.

The base price of a TL is 33.7K.

The TL is considerably more expensive. Now if you can get one for the same price. Go for the TL.
