2008 Acura TL S type vs 2012 Acura TL SH-AWD?

I'm looking to get a used Acura TL for my first car. I don't want more than 50k miles on it if possible. I don't really like the look of the front of the newer Acura TL's, but I like the older generation (like the 2007 and 2008) I also don't like how many buttons there are in the newer TL(looks like older honda accord) , but I like the older TL interior styling. Is there really a big difference between the power/0-60 times of the TL-SH-AWD and the S-Type? And is there also a ride quality/comfort difference? I like the AWD on the newer TL, but after doing some research it seems like the S-type is quicker, which I like. Any help on deciding which model to go with?

Test drive the cars you want.
