From head on the TL looks awesome. I don't like the profile. The fender flares, the roof line, the stripe, none of those elements blend well with the aggressive angular look of the fronend. It just seems like they put a lot of good design elements together without working hard enough to make them coherent.
The interior is a 9/10. I hope other companies are taking notes. I'm not too sure about some of the included gadgets like bluetooth. I know what bluetooth is but what is its purpose in the TL?
I also think the engine/manual transmission is great 9/10. I think the TL has one of the best V6's ever built. I'd like to drive the 350Z and a TL back to back to evaluate but I think it's close. Ward has giving nissan one it's ten best engine awards every year since 1994 when the VQ(the engine in the 350Z and G35) was introduced. They've even called the VQ the best V6 ever made. I think it's going to be a tough call this year.
