Dark gray metallic exterior, gray leather interior (last 2 pics)

Tons of space, dreamy comfortable seats, lots of little gadgets, goes like a motherfucker.

It'll take 2 weeks to get here, then it's MINE!

I've got five on it! :D

Beautiful car....I think it will be well worth your money

In the pic from the rear it looks like a cross between a caddie and a bimmer. All in all though it should be a nice as the last TL or more gooder even.

Sweet car, but why did you do some mods to Nadia if you were gonna get rid of her?

That car is a little too grown up for me. Maybe when I'm 45 I'd want something like that. For that price I'd get an S2000.

Looks a lot like a Mazda 6. I like the interior, though.

Very nice car. I have a couple co-workers that speak very highly of that model. I personally have never driven one, but there aren't many Acuras that I don't like driving.

That is a boss car. I love the shot of the interior. And that has the DVD-Audio system that everyone is absolutely blown away by.

Nice looking car =) and congrats on getting a new one

Love everything about that car except the navi.

I've learned my lesson. When you're as picky as me about cars, style and luxury... don't mod your car. Even if you get it to look great, it'll never be the same quality as if it were built by the factory.

very sexy-looking car, Hal :)

sorry, i just had to

ha ha ha LOL

very nice choice HALX, very nice

Love that car.

I got screwed because I sprung for an '03 Accord V6, 6 months later this particular Acura came out. They had the Acura TL S-Type out back then, which was slower than the Accord and handled like an old Cadillac. I love the Accord, but I banged my head into the wall over and over again when I saw this car come out. Smooooth ride. Let us know how it goes...:cool:

I agree the TL is a very very nice car, but it does seem a little grown up. Maybe a TSX?

Meh, who cares? Its a badass car, and will certainly drive well, feel good, and overall be a good experience.

Congrats Hal!

What's wrong with me getting a grown-up car?

All of Acura's other models are underpowered rebadged japanese Accords and Civics. I all ready HAVE an Accord.

The other 2 cars I was looking at was a Cadillac CTS and an Infiniti G35. Well, the CTS is heavier, has less power, less storage, and less engine life for much more $$$. Also, a lot of people think that the CTS is ugly. The G35 4-door has less power and it's all over the road. As for the G35 2-door, while on the outside it is a design masterpiece, it is almost identical to the car I have now on the interior, except for the giant power differential and the fact that you can hardly store a small golf bag in the trunk.

The TL is a great looking car with balls, which is hard to find in today's market. I can't wait till it gets here.

I don't think there's anything wrong with it. I think the car is sweet, but I'm not into the luxury. I prefer something a bit less refined.

Although, I'm sure I could get used that beautiful display in the dash rather quickly. ;)

It's good to see you're gonna get a 6 speed. Automatic sucks!

Yeah, don't rub it in :(

Admittedly, I have a real bad image problem when it comes to cars. I like being seen in my car as a young guy who is mature ahead of his time. While Nadia is a great looking car, I get too much recognition as a tuner and a racer (a BMW was pestering me just last night) in an Accord. Time to step it up a notch.

You will love that car. Another guy at work just got a TL... drool, it is lux with quite a bit of sport in it. Very well balanced car between lux, comfort and handling.

Not sure what to make of it...nice numbers, though.

More info & pics here.

That thing amost reminds me of a bently with that big ol' grill. Looks quite nice!

heh. I'll take the TL. The precision of Honda/Acura cars is legendary, and I've driven the new TSX (very close to the TL) and it is NICE.

That 300C looks like a K-car with a thyroid problem.

That car looks like an old people car AND it's american so it probably wont last past 100K the way I drive. Sorry to shoot you down, but I'm a big fan of imports because they last longer.

If I wanted blind power, I'd just get a mustang cobra, but if there is one car that more people out here own than a Honda Accord, it is a Ford Mustang.

So there's a few more points for the TL...

If I were to take a date out in it, and she didn't think it was mine, she'd at least think, "Did you borrow your parents' car?" as opposed to, "Did you borrow your grandparents' car?"

Points taken.

You're gonna love the TL, its a helluva a car at any price.

Good choice. Classy, Unique and balls. Stick stoo!

I really like this car. That's a prime choice in my book.

That is one nice car. A prime choice for me too. I'm jealous :P

good choice, the interior is beautiful.in my opinionn the g35 coupe would tie for my no1 choice. i'd have to drive them to decide though. the g has a plain looking interior

Nice interior in that Acura. That 300C is just a poor man's Bentley.

When is Acura rolling out the new CL, RL and NSX. If the improvments are as significant as those on the TL i cant wait!!!

Halx is that car front or rear wheel drive?

front

yeah, it's front... it's basicly what I'm used to

Sweet ride. Sticker is???

looks sharp, hope you enjoy it

Walked past one the other night as it drove by and immediately looked them up on Acura's homepage. They look stunning in person. Sweet engine note out of the exhaust. Nice lines to the body. Beautiful wheels. I could see the gauges through the window looked really cool at night. I think you will be really happy. Good choice in my opinion HALX.<p>I will drive the ol' 92 Accord for quite awhile before one of those comes my way.

Damn thats a car... I wish i could get some money for something that nice.
