2012 Acura TL Spy Shot

The Temple of VTEC has got the scoop on the rumored TL mid-cycle refresh with a spy shots courtesy of Brenda Priddy & Company.

Since the introduction of the 4th generation TL and its controversial “Power Plenum” in 2009, customer response and vehicle sales have not been very positive. This may prompt Acura to release the updated design a few months earlier than expected.

Rumor has it that the 2012 model might hit the dealerships early 2011 with have a toned down grill, new 6-speed automatic transmission and possibly a new V6 engine.

Check out the spy shots at Temple of VTEC.

Acura TL Sport Wagon Rendering

Autoblog reader Andrew Stump used some fancy photoshop work to create this rendering of a Royal Blue Pearl Acura TL Sport wagon. 

There have been no rumors that the TL will be getting this type of treatment, but it seems the popularity of wagons and crossovers have been increasing the past few years. 

What do you think of Andrew’s TL Sport Wagon?
