Talk:Acura TL

message: It looks like the text for the 2003MY info was duplicated from the 2004MY section.  If you read it in context, and how it refers to being the first year of a new gen, it's apparent that it is erroneous.     — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.178.229.212 (talk) 10:31, 23 October 2015 (UTC)

message: For the sake of accuracy and precision, it is important that we take care to use market terminology correctly. "USDM" is not a synonym for "US market" or for "North American market" or for "NAFTA market". The D in terms like USDM, JDM, ADM, and EDM stands for domestic. A Chevrolet Impala sold in Illinois can rightly be called a US-market or USDM vehicle; it was made by an American company for sale in the US market. A Mercedes S500L sold in Illinois is a US-market vehicle, but it is not a USDM vehicle, because it is not a D-for-domestic product. A Honda Accord, even if it is built in Ohio and is a version only sold in the US market, is not a USDM vehicle. It is a US-market vehicle (or, more properly, a North American- or NAFTA-market vehicle). A Mazda Axela is a JDM vehicle, but a Toyota Cavalier is a Japanese-market vehicle. The matter is blurred by the odd colloquial usage of "JDM" to refer to a whole whackload of vehicle restyling products, many of which have nothing to do with Japan (compare "Euro style" accessories), and things get a little sticky when trying to figure out where to place the demarcation line — is a Mexican-built Dodge a USDM vehicle? — Nevertheless, it's probably best for us to try and reserve the "D" terms for those situations in which they're veritable referents to the vehicles in question. —Scheinwerfermann (talk) 18:28, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

message: Jeez, the all-new redesigned upmarket section describing all the benefits of the award-winning Acura TL reads a bit like commercial copy, no?

message: Most newspapers say that the Type-S will return in 2010 so therefore the SH-AWD does not technically replace the Type-S  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.155.146.2 (talk) 00:33, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Type S

message: There's been a disagreement about photo placement in this article that I'd like some editors to weigh in on.  Here is the diff of the different versions.
User:Biala Gwiazda prefers to see the first photo in the gallery below be used in the lead infobox image as well as in the infobox for its own generation, because it is "blank with no flair" and "much nicer" than the second photo in the gallery. The same reasoning apparently also applies to the user's preference for the third photo over the fourth, at the expense of any pre-facelift non-specialty photo from that generation, despite it being covered with reflections I'd consider very distracting and a more cluttered background.
File:09 Acura TL .jpg|User:Biala Gwiazda's choice for top infobox
File:2006-TL-Front-LeftQ.jpg|My choice for top infobox
File:Acura TL Type S -- 08-21-2009.jpg|User:Biala Gwiazda's choice for third-generation infobox
File:04-06 Acura TL.jpg|My choice for third-generation infobox
(Sidenote: of the photos above, I took all but the second)
I'd consider the top infobox choices approximately equal in quality, though the silver car has a more appealing background and angle. However, if we were to avoid duplication of the black car in both the top and fourth-gen infoboxes, there are only iffy-quality photos available to replace it further down, whereas there are many suitable gen-3 options.
What are other people's preferences? IFCAR (talk) 01:53, 6 November 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree with IFCAR, the third image (black, third generation) is not a particularly good one. Black and dark grey coloured vehicles tend to be difficult to photograph without distracting reflections. Also, the bodywork detailing shows up much better on lighter coloured vehicles. From a thumbnail image size, it is very difficult to tell if the third image depicts a TL or the similar-looking TSX. OSX (talk • contributions) 11:17, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

message: In the last section, they speak in past tense of the 2012 model.
It's February of 2011 as I write.
Do they mean the 2011 model?  Or the 2010 model?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.42.184.186 (talk) 13:33, 19 February 2011 (UTC)
