In a surprise this evening, Honda's decided to drop the embargo on the new 2009 Acura TL after so many teasing spy photos. Unfortunately, instead of the photo, they should have dropped the height of their front wheel arches. Yup, those suckers are higher than a Cheech & Chong movie. But, the good news is the 2009 TL will be available in two flavors, the first coming with SH-AWD (Super Handling - All Wheel Drive) and the second will not (Not-So-Super-Handling - Front Wheel Drive). Expect to see the new TL hit the streets in the fall of 2008. Full press release after the jump.
