we went and checked out the TL's about a month ago and never even went for the test drive. The car was so bland and lifeless I didn't even bother. I was surprised how boring it was up close......just a big Accord/Camry type luxo-commuter (yawn).

That's too bad, I kinda looked at that car and since I owned an Integra prior I did like Acura, but, it's a 4 door and it looks like a family car ultimately. Are you married with kids? Nothing striking about the car as it goes down the road, that can't be denied even if it's modded. Kind of like a modded Altima. Anyway, good luck man.

the reason why i sold the Z was cause i'm planning on getting married, i need a bigger car, with good gas mileage, something that isn't boring.........something comfortable, and plus its a honda, i had the best experiences with honda.
as for the manual vs auto question, i'm going to get auto this time cause the future wife doesn't know how to drive manual, plus better resail value in auto and its going to be easier to sell.

I like the new TL--- I just love the interiors of all the Acura vehicles. The blue color of the dash in the TL is really nice, and properly equipped comes with a wealth of technology. But you don't get that tech. w/o paying more... oh well thats the case with everything isn't it!

Hey sang,
You dont know me and i obviously dont know you, but that Z you had was bad *** man. I loved what you did with it. I got a few things to say though.
A. I know exactly what you are doing with buying the TL, Before i got my Z i swear to God i almost picked up that TL, with navi, auto, only because that thing is beatiful, smooth, it has refied flow lines through the roof to decklid, its a gorgeous car with a unreal interior, Acura did a wonderful job. Acura's interiors are just getting better and better. And as you, my family was GM, then we became Honda Inc. lol
but I bought a Nissan go figure.
B. As for everyone else, I love my Z car, but unlike sang, Im a 22 year old college kid punk who's a year from graduating, and most likely, when im 25 or 26 and getting married, my Z car will be out the door for probably a high end Acura, or that new INfiniti M, omg....beatiful.
C. Sang I do have to ask you a few questions tho....I want to relive the look of your car through me...out here in Metro Detroit Michigan! ....what was the body kit you purchased on your Z, and what is the Navi system and Radio/dVd system you put in your car, and where is the best place to purchase all this stuff....Man Your car was smokin.
D. Congrats on your marriage/engagement, and good luck with that good lookin TL

One of the gripes that I have with the current TL is that the same body style is sold in europe as an Accord. That just makes me rethink buying Acuras. In a few words, to me its a glorified Accord.

my current situation really doesn't give me to much room for horsepowered cars. If you look at the industry today, my only options towards to somewhat luxary sports sedan around the $35,000 range are as such:
1. Nissan Maxima SL
2. Acura TL
3. G35x
4. BMW 325 (which is a piece of crap, the 330 is so much better but priced around 41,000)
The TL is a honda Accord. But i'm buying it because it is a HONDA. My best experience owning a car was with my Prelude. I'm looking for a product with the same integrity and style.
TL brings that both for me.
If i could afford two cars, i would buy the 2006 Z and the TL, but i can't. The "woman" drives the 2004 A4 and now i'm with the TL.

my job requires me to drive a lot and to carry stuff. The z can't do that any more. I guess, i've realized my priorities in life right now and i have to take a step forward to make the right decisions. now.
plus the woman is an architect, always carrying boards and tubes, she needs the 4 door as well, plus she has a longer commute then me so she needs the better AWD car during our New England Winters.

I think the European and Japanese Accord is the TSX, not the TL.
