While we've already seen the new <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/14/acura-prices-2009-tsx-just-below-30k/">TSX</a> and <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/06/chicago-2008-acura-reveals-2009-rl-more-style-more-power-mor/">RL</a> (though an even newer RL has been <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/06/13/spy-shots-2011-acura-rl/">spied</a>), it's the TL that is the bread-and-butter model of the line. From what has been <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/19/spy-shots-2009-acura-tl/">seen already</a>, we're expecting a version of the blocky metal triangle at the front of the model, though the <a href="http://www.vtec.net/news/news-item?news_item_id=770023" >latest spy photos</a> reveal that the angular theme will be carried over to the rear of the vehicle as well. It's always risky to make major changes to the high-volume model, but it appears as if Acura is not content to just play it safe with its line of uber-Hondas. While the stylists attempt to set new trends, we're pretty sure that the TL will continue to use a front wheel drive architecture and V6 engines, though a form of the automaker's SH AWD seems a <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/12/rumormill-2009-acrua-tl-to-come-in-2-flavors-gets-awd/">distinct possibility</a>.<br /><br />[Source: <a href="http://www.vtec.net/news/news-item?news_item_id=770023" >Temple of VTEC</a>]<p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href=http://www.vtec.net/news/news-item?news_item_id=770023> Read</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/06/23/spy-shots-2009-acura-tl-continues-triangular-theme/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/forward/1233850/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a> | <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/06/23/spy-shots-2009-acura-tl-continues-triangular-theme/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p><hr />
