I'm late to the party on the answer to this as I haven't been checking the boards but FWIW.
I had 2004 Acura TL, great car no doubt but fter driving my wifes 2005 Accord EX 4 cyl I started thinking that there wasn't an awful lot of difference. With 22,000 miles on TL tires were (e42's) were burned out, a problem with TL's and those tires.
So after careful thought I traded in my 2004 TL with 24k and bought an 2006 Accord V6 EX w/nav. Saved about 5 to 7 grand from trading to a 2006 TL w/Nav. Added day electronic day/night mirror and fog lights total price 27,500 ( sticker 30,008 or some such before add on's ) . Only thing missing is some compression and a few horse, don't notice either, plus can now use regular gas. No memory seats, I can live without, no blue tooth phone system ( people complained sounded so - so anyway.
Accord handles better in my opinion than the TL. Only thing TL has in my opinion is a little sportier look and the prestige factor if you need that. Again I am very happy with my decision to " step down " if you will to the Accord.
