2009 - 2013 Acura TL SH-AWD 6MT...didn’t even know they existed until a few weeks ago.

Better than chasing the elusive and similarly priced ‘05-’08 Type-S 6MT, me thinks.

Probably a mix of looks and maybe mass (it looks big to me). The beak never had friends. Although maybe a good used deal.

Probably because it has a face only a mother could love. That grille is an abomination.

On paper, this would be a great replacement for my Legacy GT but I can’t get past its looks.

We may be talking about grilles, but those are nice headlights.

I think it would make a great used deal

I can’t believe there isn’t an aftermarket out there to fix that.

The beak has kinda grown on me. Of course it took nearly a decade.

Same money probably gets you a BMW of the same vintage. I know what I would go for.

I would probably regret my choice at the first appearance of a check engine light.

It’s not bad painted in body color, but I don’t think that was a factory option. I personally don’t like the grille, and having it in a contrasting argent shade makes it that much worse.

Posted this in another reply, but the factory grille looks a lot better when painted body color as opposed to argent (better photo than prev reply):

That does help somewhat.

Taste is a curious animal. That plastic interior with more buttons than a jumbo jet. That exterior. Not my cup of tea. Also I don’t think the engine is anything special.

I looked at these, briefly.

Big, boat-like feel yet a stiff, crashy ride.

Painted body-color, is much better. I could almost see owning one without the contrasting beak.

I really don’t mind it. It’s something I could get used to.
