Slightly off-topic:

HalX- I wasnt trying to call you out in that other thread or anything. Its just that it seemed like since you got your car (and congratulations), anytime anyone mentions another car, you're there with a... "Isnt a TL," or a.... "The TL has more class/lux/sportiness/performance/etc." And no one would say anything because you are "the boss," as someone put it. It was just getting old, so I fugured I'd throw a comment out there.

As far as comparing the TL to the SRT4, I only did so because someone said the TL would outperform the SRT4 on a track (stock for stock) which simply isnt true. I do realize that the two cars are in a completely different category.


On topic:

I think the TL is a great looking car, with respectable power numbers, but I just cant get past the FWD thing. The interior looks ok (if you like that space-ship look), but more gadgets = more shit to break.

For me, performance is more important than luxury or style.....just the way I am.
As far as the TL having so much "style" and "class" and all the people "pulling up on freeways to check it out"........ well thats great and all but I say So What. But then again, i dont really need other people to like my car, or be impressed with it, or be envious of it, etc to feel good about myself or my purchase.

Now as far as "women perceiving its very masculine styling," cmon. Really. Its a good looking car, but its far from masculine. It's svelte and smooth, quiet and refined. Very feminine qualities. If you want masculine, pull up in an illegally loud, loping, rumbling American V8 with so much torque to the rear wheels that pushing the Go-Pedal makes you cream your pants. Rest assured, she will too.
