While you may love the TL, calling ANY car the "pinnacle of automotive perfection" is stupid and immature.
First off, power is eliminated from the equation when you can't put it down. RWD has many advantages to FWD when it comes to driving. The inherent weight transfer advantage during acceleration and the lack of torque steer lets a RWD car put the power to the pavement much better than FWD cars. Also, keeping the steering and driving wheels independent of each other leads to both more spirited and safer driving. In a FWD car what happens in snow or rain when you hydroplane or lose traction? Both steering and accleration are eliminated from the driver's control, whereas in RWD you still have power to maneuver.
Meanwhile the 300C, G35, and CTS are nipping at your heels, each with their own strengths and weaknesses for equal prices as your blessed TL. Complain about the G35's "cheap" interior? Watch it pass you handily with it's less power at the track/on the freeway wherever for 4g's less. Moan about how the 300's an auto? Look at it, listen to it, watch it roast it's tires and try to contain your jaw from dropping to your toes. I know I can't. Proclaim about how little power the CTS has? It just got more with the new engine, specifically 255 more horses and 252 lb-ft.
