Up for sale is an Acura TL 2005. It came with a hydro locked engine so I got the opportunity to build a nice TL with a custom engine. Clean body and over 15k in mods. Reason for sale is I have another TL and having a daily car the same color/year style as my show TL Is kind of boring. This isn't your typical TL you see on the road, nor am I in any rush to sell. This car will be sold to an enthusiast who knows the work/time/appreciation it takes to build a car and knows what kind of work is into it:

Title is cleared and it's on the road with inspection. NJ Title on hand.

-3.6 ltr custom built engine (TYPE-S engine with forged Rods/Forged pistons/bored/ported and polished)

-a spec front lip (rear is off of the car already which photo shows the TL before it was for sale) (REAR LIP IS OFF).
-window visors
-custom accord fog lights
-rear window spoiler
-brand new Pirelli tires

-brand new XLR8 engine mounts

-custom headlights with Zkw projector lens (blacked out/cleared/switchbacks/6k bulbs/HID/red ring with strip/Carbon fiber sides)
-precats
-powder coated cold air intake
-powder coated valve covers/I'm

-real carbon fiber shift knob

-carbon fiber wrapped radio trims

Car has stock exhaust right now. Picture shows the quad exhaust which is OFF the car - I can add it in for $800 EXTRA).

While I was building the engine I decided to replace everything:
-new water pump
-new talking belt
-new clutch / pressure plate / flywheel
-new axles
-new idle pulley
-basically a brand new engine
-short throw
-corsport shifter bushings
-aem fic piggy back ECU with a safe street tune

About 5-6k miles have been put in the car since inspected to prove its drivable and nothing is wrong. These cars are known for 105k major service and why spend 9-10k on a similar stock TL and have to put 2-3k into maintenance and still have a stock TL. To replicate this TL it would cost over 20k (cost of car value 8k).

Many extras and reason for the "quick" sale is that I wanted to prove that it was on the road for a while and running with no problems as it would be better than buying a rebuilt title tl and then selling "as is"..this car has been used for around 5-6k miles and is still being driven. Mileage on the body is 118k and let me tell you this car is clean. Front bumper could use some tlc from road use but other than that its perfect.

No problems at all and it has around 370-380 horsepower ALL MOTOR. Don't take the risk of buying a TL and TURBOing or Supercharging it and blowing the motor. Anyone knows all motor is ALOT safer than boosting and a lot more expensive..This TL is one of a kind and anymore questions please ask.

You can contact me anytime.

Yes yes I know you never get what you put in the car but I can always just part it out and sell car for 7k and parts easily within a week for 8k but why ruin a fully built car that someone many appreciate.

The cars that won't live to see 2015 [w/video]

Wed, 23 Jul 2014

Every year in the fast-paced automotive industry brings new models, but it also spells the end for some that have been less successful. This year will be no exception.
Japan's automakers make up the bulk of the list of discontinued models for the 2015 model year: Acura is replacing the TL and TSX with the new TLX sedan, Honda is bidding farewell to the Fit EV as the new Fit hatchback takes its place, and Nissan is saying goodbye to both the Cube and Murano CrossCabriolet. Both the Nissan Maxima and Mazda2 exit stage left before their upcoming replacements arrive, while Toyota is terminating the RAV4 EV and FJ Cruiser as well as the Scion xD, and Lexus IS C and IS F that are being effectively replaced by the new RC. Meanwhile Infiniti is finally discontinuing the G37 that was already replaced by the newer Q50.
From our own domestic automakers, Cadillac discontinues the CTS-V sedan and wagon as the new CTS rolls in, Chevy is canceling the mild-hybrid Eco versions of the Malibu and Impala sedans, and Chrysler is killing off the 200 convertible as the new 200 sedan arrives.

Best luxury SUVs of 2022 and 2023

Mon, Sep 12 2022

Once upon a time, the idea of a luxury SUV meant a Range Rover, and even that was pretty agricultural by modern standards. Then Jeep Grand Cherokees and Ford Explorers started offering fancy, range-topping versions followed soon by Lexus, BMW and Mercedes dipping their toes in the water. And then the floodgates opened. Today, there is a staggering number of luxury SUVs available in every shape, size and price point. There are electric luxury SUVs like the Tesla Model X and Jaguar I-Pace, as well as gas-swilling, high-performance SUVs like the BMW X5 M and Cadillac Escalade V. Sports car makers Porsche, Aston Martin and Lamborghini have even dived in. But of this great many, which are the best luxury SUVs? We sat down, scoured our reviews, took some votes, had some discussions and came up with the luxury SUVs we view as the best. They are listed alphabetically within the six segments listed below. Best Subcompact Luxury SUV | Best Compact Luxury SUV | Best Midsize Luxury SUV (Two-Row) Best Midsize Luxury SUV (Three-Row) | Best Flagship Luxury SUV (Two-Row) | Best Flagship Luxury SUV (Three-Row) Best subcompact luxury SUVs Mercedes-Benz GLB-Class Why it stands out: Outstanding space and versatility; legit luxury interior; amusing GLB 35 versionCould be better: Overwhelming and confusing tech interface Most subcompact luxury SUVs are a dubious value, with cramped interiors of marginal quality and unrefined driving dynamics. You'd be much better off paying less money for a loaded, non-luxury compact SUV. The Mercedes GLB is different, though. Its boxy design provides space few other subcompact SUV can match (luxury or otherwise), while its cabin design and feature content are in keeping with pricier Mercedes models. The quality's not exactly up to GLC standards, nor is driving refinement, but the difference is appropriate for how much you're saving and still perfectly acceptable. There's nothing dubious about buying a GLB. Volvo XC40 Why it stands out: More features for the money; spacious and versatile interior; distinctive design; electric versionCould be better: Fuel-efficient base engine only available with FWD Most subcompact luxury models feel a bit like cheap knockoffs of their bigger, pricier brand mates. The XC40, by contrast, is a break from the Volvo norm in a good way.
