i liked the 2005 a lot more.
why? i liked how the foglamps didnt exist and the rims were simplistically bold, unlike the ones i see here. After seeing the '05 model, any new modifications in terms of appearance just dont seem to improve the image, IMHO. What they could fix up is the need to make the eingine so big, i mean it's just a FWD Sedan. a 3.2 L engine is that needed, not like its meant for racing, won't be going any faster than like 150 km/H

He has two Caddies and a Town Car last time I checked, though I imagine the Town Car ain't great on fuel.How do you get around then?

Here's the breakdown...
'95 Lincoln Town Car, driven 1-3 times/week, 21 mpg average, last refueled on May 6.
'76 Cadillac Fleetwood Limo, driven an average of once a week, sometimes once every two weeks, 10 mpg average, last refueled on May 18 (that should last about 3 weeks).
'69 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham, driven an average of once/week, 11 mpg average, last refueled on May 2.
Note- I am pleased with the fuel mileage on the Town Car... for its size and weight and considering it has a V-8 engine, 21 mpg is fine by me. My brother's Acura is averaging 23 mpg.

Due to family issues, I am a caregiver and also work from home. So, fortunately, I don't need to drive much. When I do drive, it is basically to visit car friends, to shop for groceries and to go to the weekly (Friday night) car gathering.How do you get around then?

When I was working, for years my limo was the daily driver (I didn't yet own the other two cars), but the distance to work was only 4 miles one way and fuel back then was about $2.00/gallon.
I recently bought a lock for my bicycle. Since I like to bike, I figure I might as well do things like pick up prescriptions and buy stamps or whatever without starting up one of the cars.

I've read that the '09 model with have yet another facelift. I'm kind of curious to see how it is changed.

It's a full model change. The TL has been around since 2001 I think.

Do you think it will look a lot different in '09?

It will. It'll be reminiscent of the new RL and TSX I bet which sport a new hideous family grill. The RL is particularly brutal.
Shame, I quite like the current Acura car line-up (and RDX) visually, but these new ones are a step backwards. On the plus side, the TSX's new headlights are excellent.
The new RL is first, TSX second.

Yes, it will be. Completely new model.
Yeah, those grills are real ugly. They look like fruit peelers.
The RDX was nice. The RL looks real ugly.
