Honestly I dont care if someone thinks my car is "yuppie". Cars should be bought based on features and price, not a stupid stigma associated with them.
Also, I love Acuras. Several of my immediate family own one. The TL is a wonderfull car, and you get what you pay for, if not more. However, I cant fairly compare it to a sports car with a RWD transmission. The two cars might be mildly similar on paper, but they would be completely different on the road.
