Default 2004 acura tl / honda vigor A-Spec

im not sure if the vigor still exist in europe, but it is called the TL in north america carried in the acura name.

Torrance, California - The 2004 Acura TL A-Spec concept made its debut at the Greater Los Angeles Auto Show. While the production TL features a wide stance, the Concept TL's track has been widened by nearly two inches. The wider track combines with custom 21-inch alloy wheels, high performance tires and wide fender flares, to give the Concept a more muscular appearance. A panoramic glass roof flows back along the length of the cockpit.

The front fascia has been redesigned with a new bumper, more angular headlight treatments, an enhanced signature Acura grille and larger lower air intakes. In the rear, the trunk lid has been restyled with an integrated down force spoiler. A new bumper featuring larger, high flow exhaust finishers and new taillight treatments has also been applied.

The TL A-Spec Concept has a 3.2-litre V6 engine with a high flow intake and exhaust as well as internal engine modifications to raise the output to over 300 horsepower. An A-Spec high performance suspension package with track-tuned shocks and springs lowers the car by one inch and enhances the TL's handling precision. Brembo brake components, including 8-piston caliper and 15-inch drilled rotors, give the TL A-Spec Concept increased stopping power.

I think the RL is the Vigor in the Europe, not the TL. The TL is my favorite acura right now, we test drove one and it felt like heaven, its got pick up.

the RL in north america is called the LEGEND in europe/australia/japan

Link to LEGEND

Link to RL

asides from the acura and honda badge. in conclusion, an rl is a legend, not vigor.

I really, really, really, really, really...really like the Acura TL. It's has very aggressive body lines for a sedan. Oh, and check out the interior and the center console....simply beautiful.

the car is basically production cept for the front and rear bumpers.

Here is your 2004 Acura 3.2 TL in production form. There is one around the corner from me and this car looks great! U cant help but like acura.

Don't like the front of the first car, the bumper under the grill is just too big...
