Replying to: bodble2 (Apr 03, 2007 4:09 pm) My former boss (from my college days) was only jockey height, and he actually used wood blocks and duct tape. He offered to drive me home one day after work in his station wagon, and out of courtesy I sat in the front bench seat. I was in pain the next couple of days

Replying to: laurasdada (Mar 18, 2007 3:51 pm) I'm a cross shopper. New Accord vs. Used TL   For an Acura-Certified 06 TL with about 20K miles, it's around $28-29 (no-NAV) A 07 Accord EX-L V6 with NAV is about $26. (06 TL with NAV is around $32K)   Left Brain Says: The TL has less rear leg room, a larger turning circle, and the rear seat does not fold. It rides a bit stiffly, and the tires are expensive and short lived. Visibility out the rear is so-so on the TL and insurance rates are steep. The car is too pricey with NAV, imho.   Right Brain Says: The TL is COOL. Call it a BMW-poser, but it has some serious bling. It feels like you're sitting in a jet fighter, and Acura has made (feel free to flame me) their best shot at melding the feel of a BMW 5 series with the good qualities of the Accord. When you wind it out to 6,000 rpm, it's a rush of Formula1 sound and acceleration like those old V8 cars I dearly love. It's not as tossable as cars like the old Preludes, but it inspires confidence and feels very taut and precise.   If you did not know that the TL is based on the Accord platform, you would never guess it by looking at it or driving it.   I'm still undecided, and plan to test drive both of them some more, as long as my 'salesman tolerance' levels can be maintained.

#1093 of 1159 Accord, Prelude and now TL by tl_2007s May 18, 2007 (10:03 am)
I owned an Accord for 12 years and a Prelude for 13 years. Both were excellent cars. I was actually very sad parting with my Prelude. Now, I have a TL-S and I really like it. It is comfortable, has all the nice gadgets and has lots of HP. They are all nice cars. Replies to this message: bodble2 (May 18, 2007 12:15 pm) tl_2007s (May 24, 2007 3:45 pm)

Replying to: tl_2007s (May 18, 2007 10:03 am) Wow, must be a bit of a cultural shock jumping into a 2007 TL-S from the 1994 Prelude! Replies to this message: tl_2007s (May 24, 2007 3:45 pm)

Replying to: robo_geek (Apr 27, 2007 9:17 am) insurance rates are steep.   Huh? I went from an 02 4cyl Accord to an 06 TL and my insurance premium went up about $10/ month.   Is that steep in your household? Replies to this message: tl_2007s (May 24, 2007 3:46 pm)

Replying to: bodble2 (May 18, 2007 12:15 pm) Yes, it was. I think I waited too long to get a new car. So many new features and the ride is great too.

Replying to: goodegg (May 19, 2007 8:05 am) Similar experience. Replacing 1993 Prelude with 2007 TL Type S made a difference of around $ 160 increase annually.

#1099 of 1159 Impact of 2008 Accord? by zeep6785 Aug 21, 2007 (6:10 pm)
The 2008 Accord has to change things a good bit, especially until the 2009 TL comes out. I'm in the market now and I'm not sure whether to go for a 2008 Accord or TL.   I'm thinking that the new Accord and impending EL model change has to put some pricing pressure on TL.   Thoughts?
