the 2nd gens were the Inspire/Saber

--> 1st Gen TL

---> Back side of 1st gen TL



--> Front end from 1st Gen Acura RL (Honda Legend)


The 1st gen TL had the motor and exterior cues from the Ascot/rafaga.
That is why the Ascot/Rafaga's equivalent in the US was the 1st gen TL.
Although some people call the 1st gen TL's Inspires

2nd Gen TL's in the US was the Honda Sabre/Inspire in Japan.

ahh

i see the similarities. but i do think they are different.

i mean, the TL IS a much larger car compared to the Ascot/Rafaga.

they do share the same longitudinal engine orientation, making the car look as if its RWD.
