The 2012 Acura TL is a starring luxury-sport sedan that is leaner, trimmer, tighter, and now looks as good as it performs.

Dynamically, the 2012 Acura TL is the same stirring-to-drive performance sedan as before, only now with an extra gear and improved fuel economy. Not bad for a car with so much horsepower and a sizable interior.

The 2012 TL is still fun to drive, and is more refined and only $300 more expensive than the outgoing model. We expect it to be even more endearing to those seeking a luxurious sports sedan than ever before.

The Acura TL SH-AWD is certainly full-flavored. Its driving experience is almost as polarizing as its style, but there’s no denying that it offers a lot of sedan for the money – especially compared to those pesky Germans.

The 2012 Acura TL’s price represents strong value, and now that Acura has mostly fixed its most glaring shortcomings, the TL is a stronger entry than ever.

The TL remains Acura’s very best driver’s car, and a good one, at that. We came away with the renewed opinion that car is an enthusiast gem that deserves more of a share of the spotlight.

It is on the pricey side of the segment, but the 2012 Acura TL Advance is a sophisticated sport sedan with an effective, distinctive design.

It’s a lot of car for the money, but dollar for dollar in a value-oriented marketplace, the TL, premium as its amenities are, doesn’t accord the same amount of style or status as, say, a Mercedes-Benz C-class.

With the refreshed TL SH-AWD, it’s obvious that Acura has taken measures to fix what was broken without hurting what worked. They started with a very competent luxury sport sedan and made it more attractive, improved its efficiency and increased its driving dynamics.
