Acura subjects the Acura ZDX , TL, and MDX through some of the most grueling tests. If you have questions in regards to the benefits of Super Handling All Wheel Drive and Vehicle Stability Assist- this is the video to watch.

If you want your cake and eat it too… the 2011 Acura TL is for you!

admin — Wed, 12 Jan 2011 19:09:15 +0000

Acura Carland has a great selection of New and Used Acura TLs in Atlanta

Acura is coming off one of their most successful years ever. In 2010 the Acura TL brought home the top rating for IIHS Crash-test results. Automobile Magazine wrote “The Acura’s steering is lightening quick, with an overall ratio nearly as fast as a Mitsubishi Evo’s and its thick rim communicates more feedback to the driver, especially at the limit…”. The TL has become the standard in Luxury Sedans in Atlanta. Our customers enjoy their technology, but demand the style and performance that only Acura can deliver. The Acura TL offers a wide array of interior comforts that allows the driver to integrate their technologies into their Acura. USB adui interface with iPod Integration is a must have with the iPhone users. This will allow your TL to play your music files, place it on hold, and answer the phone with Bluetooth audio. This technology is fantastic, and almost makes your commute to Atlanta seem shorter.

Performance… well the 2011 TL starts at 280 HP, and ends at 305 HP. Also, if you haven’t had the chance to drive a TL, be sure to check out the TL SH-AWD. The experts say “…the TL begs you to steer it with the throttle. The more power you add, the more neutral the TL’s balance and the faster its scrambles through the turns. Indeed, the Acura was faster than the Audi through nearly every single corner at BeaveRun.” -Automobile Magazine. The Acura TL in Atlanta would be able to handle 85, 75, 400, and an occasional qualifying round on spaghetti junction with room to spare.

Styling- Acura’s European design is like no other. The styling exudes confidence with its “Predator” front facies and wide stance, the TL is ready to play. I had the pleasure of driving a 2011 Acura TL at night. The dash cluster lights energize the driver. The Xenon High-Intensity Discharge lights cut through the darkness, and seem to guide the TL. The styling of the dash folds contour around the driver and passenger. The 2011 TL almost seems like it was built around their comfortable form fitting seats.

Acura Carland in Atlanta has an excellent selection of the 2011 TLs. If you are looking for a “Game Changing” Sedan, the Acura TL is the way to go. Please feel free to contact Acura Carland in Duluth, GA to schedule your testdrive. Acura Carland is one of highest rated Dealers in Atlanta.

The Acura TL is a must drive for Atlanta!

admin — Mon, 18 Oct 2010 19:50:30 +0000

compliments of Acura.com

Come on people! The the 2011 Acura TL is the complete Sport Sedan! It’s race inspired and packed full of sophisticated technology! The powerhouse of the TL, the supporting technology, and the overall refinement make the TL standout amongst Sport Sedans! The 2011 Acura TL can make Atlanta traffic bearable!

“And in the corner” – a standard 3.5l V6 boasting 280 hp! Couple the engine with the suspension, you better hold on tight! The 2011 TL will perform like it is anticipating driver needs! Acura also offers a 3.7l that will increase the Hp to 305! Upgrade to the SH, and watch out! Some of you that remember the Honda Prelude SH, SH for the TL is the grown-up version! This is what Acura says about the SH AWD!

“The system continuously determines the optimal level of power distribution between the front and rear wheels, and also between the rear wheels based on an analysis of wheel speed, steering angle, lateral G-force and yaw rate.

For better fuel economy, up to 90% of the power is sent to the front wheels when cruising in a straight line.

As weight shifts to the rear of the TL during hard acceleration, the SH-AWD system transfers up to 45% of engine power to the rear wheels to take advantage of available rear-wheel traction.

In a curve under hard acceleration, 70% of torque can be directed to the rear—all of which can go to the outside wheel to improve cornering by directing power where weight has shifted.

The system reduces understeer and increases stability by turning the outside rear wheel slightly faster than the rest of the wheels, rotating the vehicle through the turn. “

According to Nick Despotpolous – Senior Sales Consultant at Acura Carland- “You have to experience the TL to see it’s value! There is no way to describe the feel of the Acura TL!” Mr Despotopolous has been with Acura Carland for over 10 years, and is revered for his knowledge and expertise of the TL.

Technology- The Acura TL is technology- HDD drives, State of the art Navi Systems, Bluetooth Audio, Weather and Traffic… are only a few of the paramount technologies that surround the TL! How about full integration with USB and iPod devices! That’s right… “Play Led Zepplin”, you command ! Then listen to your personally chose music on the optional award winning Acura /ELS Surround Sound! Edmund.com awarded the Acura/ELS Sound system #1 among ALL Luxury Brands! So the all new TL will give you the “BOOM BOOM POW” the Black Eyed Peas keep singing about!

Acura has built there brand by refining! When you sit inside the TL, everything is as it should be. Simplicity rules all! Multi-function interactive dials will allow the driver to cascade through music folders, system set-ups, and driver preferences. The seating material is designed with dense material that filters out vibrations. The bolsters provide support for your lower back and shoulders. You have to sit in the seat of a TL! The vehicle literally wraps around the driver! Please feel free to contact Acura Carland-Acura Dealership in Atlanta - to schedule a first class Product Presentation from Mr Despo.- (770-623-9211)! You will not regret it! To view our Acura TL specials in Atlanta , please click on this link!

If you do not believe me, look at what the experts say! (2010) NHTSA 5 Star! KBB-Best Resale, Consumer Reports – Best Brand- Honda/Acura , and of course ALG -Best residual value for a luxury car!

admin — Fri, 16 Jul 2010 19:49:17 +0000

The 2010 Acura TL

Other than award winning resale value and top quality ratings by Consumer Reports and JD Power, what is different from a 2010 Acura TL and a 2010 Infiniti G37 Base, you might ask? Scott Henley, the General Manager of Acura Carland was posing this question- this is what some of the answers were discussed-

The main response I get is “This Car Blows Me Away!” Resounding, yes, but let’s take a look at the field. Many Manufacturers within the Luxury Lines have hit the Panic Button, and Regressed R&D. Not Acura… Awards in Quality and Resale, back that up. Accident Avoidance, State of the Art Technology Packages have simply become what Acura is!

So if you are considering a BMW, Infiniti, Mercedes, and you would like to cash in on Quality and Value. Please allow me to tempt you with the all new 2010 Acura TL… It truly is PRECISION! Also, Acura Carland is participating in the 2010 “DRIVEN BY REASON” Summer Sale.
