It's listed as an available color on the Canadian site, but not on the Acura's US site.
Looking through available models throughout the US though, I do find 08 TLs available in this color..... so who knows.
The Canadian site is lousy, and I haven't been able to pin point the paint code through Google either.
A quick call to a dealership may be your best advice.
Is there any way to stop this message from displaying, such as by adjusting the weight that triggers this message?
That's there as a safety switch so if a child (or anyone else under 65 lbs) is placed in the seat, the airbag won't go off and kill them in the evet of an accident.
The only way to avoid it is to place your groceries somewhere else.
It will do nothing for the airbag message though.
That is caused by the weight sensor.
:P

I went the other direction - I chose the TL-S mostly because I wanted a little more engine than the TL base model.
I didn't look at the Saab, so I can't speak to that. I did look at hard at the G35, and liked it a lot.
I am 6' 0, just got a 2008 TL-S, and drove it about 100 miles on Friday. No issues at all with comfort.... I really enjoyed the drive too!

Acura needs to step it up if they want to compete at this level. This car is overpriced and it underperforms.
Any thoughts?
I guess it's really not a issue, I guess it's better than if it only left a gallon of gas when the light came on.
Excellent car though! After seeing the supposed pics of the 2009 TL, I'm glad I got the 2008. Comfortable, Roomy, and getting good gas mileage so far at about 23MPG in mostly stop & go driving.
The heavy, attack doors of death and the trunk lid that dumps water into the trunk (maybe it's Zaino's fault for leaving such lovely beads of water there!) are a couple of minor annoyances I note on my TL. But it does everything so well, including being eye-candy, that all is forgiven!

I drive 90% highway and avg 30mpg, all higway I can get 32 - 34 mpg depending on my speed typically between 60 and 70mph.
Make sure you tell us how it works out!

Also try driving and keeping your tachometer under 3k rpm... You'll most likely go up. I tried it and got 20mpg in my 95 accord v6 vs the usual 15.

I have been putting 93 in my 08 TL and was thinking of switching to 87...any one use 87 on their 08 TL? If so then have you had any issues since using 87?
I personally only put 91 or higher in.
For TLs other than the Type-S, the manual states that octanes under 91 may be used but may result in reduced performance. It also states that engine damage may occur with octanes lower than 87.
I purchased a 2008 TL with NAVI in May. I had a 1997 RL and 2002 MDX. The 97 RL was hit from behind while parked in front of my house :mad: , so I needed to replace it. I was torn between a new RL, a new TL, a new TSX (due to mileage) and a Lexus. Didn't like the Lexus headroom, legroom or air conditioner. Ended up choosing the TL because of body lines and mileage versus the RL, and the size is decent (I'm 6' 3" tall). Back seat room is okay for shorter rides.
The RL was smoother riding, but I didn't particularly like the look, the price, or the fuel economy.
The TL is loaded, has a good ride, and good look. I drive mostly interstate miles from home to work (about 16 miles), then city mileage running errands, lunch, etc. My combo mileage, using 87 regular gas, has been from 24 to 27. Two trips from Oklahoma City to Tulsa and back gave me 30 and 33 mpg.
I'm very happy with my TL and glad I purchased it as opposed to the RL and the Lexus. Personally, I'm just not that impressed with the Lexus, although they are good looking cars.
Got the TL.
My problem with the TSX auto was lack of power, otherwise very nice car.
The 09 TSX may have somewhat resolved that problem with different
trans and engine tuneing, you will have to test drive and see if the TSX
has say enough power where you feel safe on freeway on ramps.

that is normal, Old Mike
So that means that there is more than 2.3 gallons left
My "low fuel" indicator came on, and I drove about 20 miles before filling up. I put 13.6 gallons in the tank, so it looks like there's at least 3.5 gallons left after the warning message comes on.
Nevertheless, I've read somewhere that this sort of engine can be seriously damaged if it runs out of fuel, so it's better to be safe than sorry.
