The 2009 TL has an awesome interior, definately an upgrade from the previous gen but the last gen TL looked and drove like a sports car but the torque and understeer killed the fun. The new SH-AWD adresses that problem and as bloated as it looks it drives like its on rails.

I have an 08 TL - I love the styling, and at the time I bought it, it was the nicest driving car I had been in. During a warranty visit I was given an 09 loaner, and have to say the driving experience is even better, it makes the ride of the 08 feel like a go-cart. I'm still not in love with the styling, but it does grow on you in a Cadillac CTS kind of way.
