For sale to a good, loving home: 

My beloved, 2005 Acura TL, Louise. My loyal travel companion. (she loves road-trips!)
White Diamond Pearl, Parchment Leather interior 
150,700 miles
tires - 20,000 miles since new in 2012. Comes with Road Hazzard coverage policy from Big O Tires
Battery & starter replaced in June 2012 (these are the only 2 repairs EVER needed, all other items were maintenance only) 
****Timing Belt replaced as maintenance @ 100,000 mi*****

Minor, cosmetic dings and scratches on front and rear bumpers. (see pics) Other cars were constantly love-tapping her when they parked! 

A few wear and tear items where she is beginning to show her age (shown in the pictures) 
-a clip is missing from the back panel of the driver's seat
-a scuff in the leather on the passenger-side door 
-discoloration spots on the passenger-side mirror
-Leather on the driver's seat is showing signs of 150,000

What else can I say, I loved this car - all 8 years she and I have been together! I bought her as a certified, pre-owned from an Acura Dealer in Pennsylvania. I am the second owner. We drove across country together (thus her name, Louise) I am selling everything I have and traveling to Italy, or else I would keep her forever! 

I have the clean, PA title in hand & can sign her over with verified funds. 

Original MSRP - $35,470
This model includes all luxury amenities as standard. 
seating for 5, comfortably
Leather seats, steering wheel, shift control knob
dual-zone, automatic 3D solar-sensing climate control (Using time of day and direction of travel, this gadget calculates the sun's position relative to the car to adjust side-to-side interior temperatures to maintain desired settings.)

5 speed automatic with optional manual SportShift

iPod/MP3/aux integration- I paid to have this option installed aftermarket (not standard until 2006 TL models)

HANDS-FREE Bluetooth (works with all phone models, I have used it with about 20 different phones, the last 4 being iPhone models) 

Safe! (5 Star crash rating)
Airbags - driver, passenger
"seat-mounted side-impact airbags and full-cabin side curtain airbags are standard. The side-impact airbag sensors note the seat occupant's height and position to minimize potential injury to out-of-place and smaller-stature individuals. Frontal airbags are dual-stage and dual-threshold, meaning they deploy at different rates depending on the severity of the crash and whether the front seat occupants are belted in. For 2005, a weight sensor has been incorporated in the front passenger seat; if the total weight on the seat is less than 65 pounds (the weight of a small child or a car seat), the right front airbag will not deploy. On the driver's side, a new position sensor has been added, so if the seat is within half an inch of the most forward position, the airbag will only deploy in the more gentle, dual-stage mode. If the seat is farther than a half inch from the forward position, the airbag deploys in either single or dual-stage mode based on the severity of the collision. LATCH child seat anchors are included"
ABS brakes, Traction Control, Vehicle Stability Control System, Electronic Brake Assistance

HANDS-FREE driver control, voice activated radio, climate control - the vehicle will respond to 300 different verbal commands

anti-theft alarm

Powerful, yet fuel efficient - 3.2L V6 (270 hp)
20 city /29 highway MPG - (realistically, though in LA it is more like 18 city because of the traffic, but when we drove across country, it was 32 MPG!)

awesome Stereo system - multi-speaker, externally power-amplified, DVD/CD/cassette/AM/FM/XM Satellite Radio system, to which Acura added a new technology known as DVD-Audio 5.1. DVDs recorded with this technology triple the channels in traditional stereo and virtual (electronically synthesized) surround sound systems, from two to six. The hope was to do for digital recordings what Dolby did for analog tapes. 

In-dashboard Navigation System - Easy to use, large display, voice activated with clearly audible directions in response. 
Power Sun/moon roof
alloy wheels
xenon, high density discharge headlights

Very comfortable ride, spacious cockpit and passenger seating. Memory seats, remembers driver's settings based on which key fob unlocks vehicle. 

Review for 2005 Acura TL from Car & Driver -

"Acura's badge is a set of engineering calipers, symbolizing the brand's focus on precision engineering. That symbol holds more than ever with its latest models, the all-new 2005 Acura RL and the sportier and only slightly smaller Acura TL, which was completely redesigned and re-engineered as a 2004 model. (The 2005 Acura TL carries into its second model year with no major changes.)

The Acura TL is a true sports sedan, albeit with front-wheel drive. The TL delivers sharp-handling, a powerful V6 engine, a fully independent suspension, and the latest active safety electronics to optimize driving dynamics. Its engine doles out abundant power, whether for back road barnstorming or passing other vehicles on the freeway. Barnstorming is aided by great handling and powerful brakes. Freeway cruising is made pleasant by the reasonably smooth ride, though the TL is not a soft cushmobile.

Where previous TL models were subtle, tailored and conservatively handsome, this latest-generation TL is hip, bold, and razor-edged. It's a fully equipped luxury performance sedan in midsize dimensions. Every passive safety feature you'd expect in a premium car is included.

The interior is thoroughly modern and features state-of-the-art surround-sound. The TL isn't cheap, but you get what you pay for in performance and features."

    Honda trademarks ZSX, could be for baby NSX

    Thu, Aug 11 2016

    While there have been many rumors dating back to 2008 about a mid-engined sports car from Honda, last year's report was provided the most detail about what seemed to be a scaled-down version of the NSX hybrid supercar. Honda may have added some fuel to the rumor-fire by recently filing a trademark application for "ZSX," reports Australia's Performance Drive. The trademark application was sent to the European Union Intellectual Property Office late last month and is obviously close to the NSX nomenclature. The Australian outlet also reports that an unnamed source within Honda claims the ZSX, whatever it may be, could be revealed as early as next year. The anonymous employee also claims that the ZSX will be offered as a coupe and a hard-top convertible variant, with both being powered by the automaker's 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine from the Honda Civic Type R. Just like the NSX, the ZSX is rumored to get electric motors on the front and rear axles. Previous reports match the unnamed source's claims, as the ZSX was expected to be a replacement for the Honda S2000 that ended production in 2009. It now sounds like it'll be more of a mini-NSX, with rumors pointing towards one electric motor powering the rear wheels, while two motors would be on the front axle. Patents from last year, which are pictured above, match the rumors of a mid-engined sports car. The ZSX trademark is for Europe only as of right now, while the automaker's previous patents and trademarks included the US, as well. Only time will tell if "ZSX" really stands for a sports car, or if Honda actually goes through with its plans. Remember, Nissan ditched similar plans for a small rear-wheel-drive sports car recently.

    Honda to lead Rose Parade with hybrid tech

    Thu, Dec 6 2018

    What are you doing New Year's Day? We're probably going to watch Urban Meyer's retirement bash the Rose Bowl, but we love a nice parade, too. To kick the day off, Honda will be leading the 130th Rose Parade with its own float, an Insight hybrid and an Acura RDX crossover. Not only will Honda be celebrating the new year, it'll also celebrate its 60th anniversary in the U.S. As such, the main float will be shaped like a 25-foot-tall birthday cake. And 60 band members from the historically black colleges and universities' marching bands — which recently took part in a battle of the bands sponsored by Honda — will represent the candles on the cake. It'll also be decorated to re-create the look of the automaker's first storefront in Los Angeles. The float will be called "Celebration of Dreams," a fitting title for a company whose founder Soichiro Honda famously said, "The day I stop dreaming is the day I die." (The first thing you see when entering the amazing Honda Collection Hall at Twin Ring Motegi is a large, circular glass sculpture with the word "Dream" and Soichiro Honda's signature). For the parade, the Honda Insight will serve as the official pace car, while the Acura RDX will play the role of sound car. The float itself will be propelled by a modified Honda hybrid powertrain. The main float will be flanked by five "satellite" floats, each representing facets of the company. These will include a Honda Super Cub motorbike; a floral representation of a 1975 Civic CVCC; a float with crash test dummies and an arch with five stars to represent safety; a Honda Accord, which is built in the U.S.; and a float incorporating elements from the HondaJet to represent the future. The Rose Parade broadcast begins bright and early at 8 a.m. Pacific on Jan. 1. Check out the rendering at the top of the page to get a sense of what to expect. Related Video:

    2022 Acura MDX named IIHS Top Safety Pick+

    Tue, May 4 2021

    The 2022 Acura MDX passed the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's crash prevention and testing program with flying colors, earning a Top Safety Pick+ designation.  Acura's three-row crossover was redesigned for the 2022 model year and rides on a brand new, future-proofed platform that will eventually underpin other models in the Honda/Acura families. It scored top marks across the board in the nonprofit's crash safety and accident avoidance tests, and thanks to the MDX's standard LED headlights, there's no asterisk on that result; it applies to each and every model of the 2022 MDX.  To get a Top Safety Pick+ nod this year, a vehicle must be rated "Good" in all crash tests, earn an "Advanced" or "Superior" rating in both collision avoidance tests (vehicle and pedestrian), and must receive at least an "Acceptable" rating for all of its headlight offerings. The MDX received the highest possible rating in each of those categories; it was also rated "Good+" for the ease of use of its LATCH child seat anchors.  Related video:
