Acura TL

Price $39,990 – $47,990
Fuel consumption 7.5 – 12.3 L/100km
The Car Guide rating 83%(view ratings)
The Acura TL was up for a complete overhaul, and the automaker took this very, very seriously. Its shapes give it a fundamentally aggressive sports sedan look. Inside, everything was redesigned, including the dashboard, which now boasts a more evolved design and ergonomics. The new 3,5 and 3,7-litre V6 engines produce 280 and 300 horsepower, respectively. They are linked to a five-speed automatic transmission, the only one available. The Type-S version did not make the transition to 2009, as it was replaced with an SH-AWD all-wheel drive version.
