2011 Acura TL
With The new 2011 Acura TL, Acura set out to create an all-new vehicle with an exterior design that is more taut, athletic and powerful than before. Enthusiast drivers appreciate the previous-generation TL for its high dynamic capabilities-it is a true driver's car that competes against the best near-luxury sedans. These enthusiasts are increasingly looking for more dynamic refinement and capability, and emotional styling.
With The 2011 acura TL uses crisp, taut lines instead of sweeping curves, satin trim in key areas rather than bright chrome, and a driver-oriented layout makes driving more engaging. After a few years of high-profile military engagements abroad and a stagnating economy and rising unemployment back home, one thing is clear: There's no stopping the sales of entry-level luxury sedans.

In fact, business has picked up for companies like Audi, BMW, Lexus and Mercedes during this period. Meanwhile, a steady procession of new arrivals like the Cadillac CTS, Infiniti G35 and Volkswagen Passat W8 has made this one of the most competitive vehicle segments, as manufacturers scramble to keep up with each other in terms of features, driving dynamics and upscale cabin furnishings.
2011 Acura's TL has never been the car to own in the entry-level luxury sedan segment, but we've always counted it among our favorites. Particularly in Type-S form, it offered consumers an appealing blend of performance, luxury content and value. Sure, it wasn't as fun to drive as a BMW or Audi, or as opulently outfitted as either one, but with a fully loaded price under $30,000 for the regular TL and right around $34K for the Type-S, it didn't need to be. Acura had no difficulty selling upwards of 60,000 TLs each year – second only to the 3 Series in this price range until the Lexus ES 300 slipped past it last year. Still, the company knew that it was missing out on customers who really did want a bona fide sport sedan and/or a true luxury experience replete with top-grade materials and all the latest convenience and safety features.With the introduction of The 2011 acura TL, Acura will make a serious bid for these customers. Value is still in the picture, as the company will stick to its practice of offering fully equipped vehicles at competitive prices with short options lists.
But with the very desirable TSX now available for buyers who want something (relatively) affordable and compact, this TL doesn't have to cover as much ground. Gone are base and Type-S distinctions in favor of one 270-horsepower TL available with a choice of a manual or automatic transmission and priced around $34,000. Inside, just about every feature anyone would want in an entry-luxury sedan comes standard, while the overall design and the materials used give up nothing to the Europeans. Apart from feeling like the smart financial choice in the over-$30K bracket, this TL could bring out emotions you never thought you'd have for an Acura.
Performance isn't a big deal for everyone, but practicality can go a long way toward justifying an entry-luxury sedan purchase. Carrying full-size rear passengers, for example, is all in a day's work for the midsize 2011 acura TL. Assuming the front occupants aren't too tall, adults will have plenty of legroom back here. The bench itself is a little low, but thicker cushioning toward the front edge of the seat bottom provides ample thigh support. There is also extra cushioning where your lower back hits, which should help with passenger morale on long trips. For peace of mind, every 2011 acura TL comes equipped with seat-mounted side air bags for front occupants (with occupant position censors) and side curtain air bags to protect those in the front and rear. Acura is predicting a five-star sweep in government crash testing and a "Good" rating in IIHS frontal offset testing.
The New Acura TL
There are six different brands of Acura which are the Acura RL, TL, TSX, ZDX, MDX, and RDX. The TL brand has two different types called the TL and the TL SH-AWD which have starting prices in the $35,000 to $45,000 range for the new 2011 vehicles. The TL is a 280 horse power vehicle with V6 four wheel drive engines that come with automatic or five speed choices. The TL SH-AWD is an all wheel drive vehicle with 305 horse power with 273 pounds of torque and six speed choices. The cylinder head covers are made out of a light weight magnesium alloy material, along with hard aluminum cylinder sleeves. The light weight magnesium helps improve the balance of the vehicle, along with a forged crankshaft. The SH-AWD stands for a super handling all wheel drive vehicle that has supreme agility on the road along with consistent power transitions that are seamless. The Acura TL comes with a sequential sport shift with automatic paddle shifters that allows a driver to have an option of automatic or five speed while driving. The driver can shift to a drive transmission that will give them smooth gear changes, or they can shift to a sport transmission that will give them faster acceleration.
The drive train for the vehicle allows a driver to tap the paddle shifter into drive as it is driving, which will give them a quick gear change that will put the car into automatic once it reaches a steady speed. This will allow drivers to perform quick gear changes in an automatic mode without having to change in and out of a manual mode. When using the paddle shifter in a sport mode it allows the transmission to be placed into a full manual type of mode. This will give the driver more control when driving over hills, which will give them more performance power. The grade logic control is what informs the transmission to clutch at a lower gear while climbing up a hill, or driving down a steep hill. The paddle shifters and the five speed sport shift gears give drives the best of two worlds. The vehicle has a rigid body structure that allows for a smooth and relaxing ride.
The Acura TL also has a supreme suspension system, excellent power steering system, and performance braking techniques. The brake system has a firm pedal that modifies the correct modulation that is demanded from a high performance vehicle.
