    Also, keep in mind im comparing a non Aspec '12-14 to an Aspec '09-11, so it's not a fair comparison. I forgot to mention, I'm retrofitting the new TLX '18-20 grill into mine. This will make it look more agressive then 09-11, so stay tuned! Along with jewel eyes it'll look👌.

    Those grills are very neat on the 2012 TL I seen it before and wanted to do it but couldn’t get it done as yet but I plan to do so I’ll wait until you drop the video and I think the newer grills for the Type S could fit too but let’s see how yours looks after

    Yah I know I'm actually surprised haha. I guess if they absolutely hated it they wouldn't of bought the car. My thing is there's a reason TL sales plummeted when the 4th Gen came out and it's cause of the grill unfortunately. They could've made it sportier looking from factory like the Type S 3rd gens.

    Great video, I always liked how the 2012-2014 models looked compared to the 2009-2014 with its blacked out headlights. One thing I did noticed about the 6-Speed automatic vs the 5-speed is how early the 6-speed shifts into 2nd gear. & I noticed how the 6-speed doesn’t mind “lugging” the engine vs the 5-peed. I like that since both the 3.5L & 3.7L V6 engine have this nice muscular “warmth” when it’s being either transmission “lugs” the engine. As far as speed is concerned, regardless of the 4th-Gen TL both the 3.5L & 3.7L are the same speed. Mostly because the SH-AWD versions are heavier, & Acura needed to put the J37 to compensate.

I do like the smoke factory headlights on the 12-14. But, the park light cover is longer and makes the 09-11 look more luxurious. To each his own.😎

    I have owned 8 Acura vehicles in my life in the following order: '87 Acura Integra RS 3-dr '05 Acura TL '07 Acura TL Nav '10 Acura TSX V6 Tech '12 Acura TL Advance '12 Acura TL Advance (My second '12) '13 Acura TL Advance '16 Acura TLX Advance Pretty much loved all of them. My favorites were my '07 TL, my '13 TL and my '16 TLX. I love the look of the current TLX ('21 and newer) but I ended up replacing my '16 TLX with a '20 Honda Accord Touring 2.0T. I couldn't justify paying considerably more for a newer TLX 2.0T that underperforms the Accord Touring. I know I could buy a TLX Type S but those are significantly more money and get absolutely horrendous fuel economy. I drive about 20k miles per year and with gas prices where they are and then premium vs regular on top of that, it just doesn't seem like a financially rational decision. If they would give the TLX 2.0T 35 more horsepower to offset its 500lb weight difference over the Accord, I would buy one but for now I'm enjoying my Accord 2.0T. However, I really do find the current TLX to be a beautifully designed car and should they choose to up its power in the midcycle refresh to the 305 - 310 hp range, I would buy one in a heartbeat.

Fortunately, the transmission is tuned slightly better in the 2018-20 models, but still very sluggish I find. The biggest downfall steering me away from the 2.0t is the sound, nothing beats that lovely v6 note. A simple tune on the TLX 2.0t and you're at the 300+hp mark.

    Mix of both tbh...for Auto I prefer the 6AT('12-14)..For styling as long as 09-11 the grill is color matched, it looks more agressive then 12-14...12-14 front aspec is more aggressive though, and 12-14 look better with the 2018-20 TLX grill retrofitted into them..Also, 09-11 Rear Aspec is wayyy nicer imo, but not a fan of the huge red reflectors on the 09-11.

    @thedefispotlight2780 it would be ideal to try and find one with the work done. That or as long as it's lower mileage and oil changes were done on time(preferably sooner) I do every 5k km or about 3100 Miles. Just got to keep an eye on the oil lvls and make sure it's always good. For about 5-6k US you can get a fully built head from P2R if you plan on modding that would be better then spending 4k US on stock top end rebuild.
