I agree, though, the automatic version does feel sluggish - but it's also at least a full second slower to 60 than the manual. The 6 speed TL is quick - very, very quick for a car of that size. But, no, it cannot corner with the G - too soft, and front wheel drive.

I was shopping these cars HEAVILY the past couple of weeks. I never could find a TL 6-spd to test drive. The local dealership said the only way they bring them in is if they have a buyer waiting. I wasn't about to put a deposit on a car I had never driven, but I do wish I had been able to drive one before making my decision.

I certainly love my G, though.
