Anybody like it? Seen it? We are thinking about getting it, we like the contrast and it seems to add to the sporty feel of the interior. Our concern is it seems a little reddish in color. My wife said it looks kinda dog-doo reddish. Looks like the red clay at Roland Garros (French Open, Tennis). Thoughts?

I went to my Acura dealer today for another look at the TL. This is definitely the car I want. Nothing else I've test drove has given me the feeling the TL has. The lowest price they gave me was $38,611 for the SH-AWD with Tech. Much better than the $40K they were originally quoting me. The lowest quote from anyone I got was $38K but that was a dealer in Cincinnati. I don't see it being worth a 5.5 hr drive for the savings. I think Monday morning I'll be calling them to tell them I'll take the TL. I also test drove the MB C300 Sport 4Matic today. It was nice and the payment was lower. But it definitely isn't a TL. It doesn't have nearly the power or acceleration. What really kills it for me is that it despite the iPod connector, it doesn't play well with my iPhone. It doesn't charge it and he said if I'm using the iPod part of it to play music I can't use the phone part for calls.

We can't decide between: NEW 09 BMW 335i turbo, sport pkg, nav, black or alpine white exterior, saddle brown dakota leather with black carpet. $45,500 NEW 09 TL TECH w SH-AWD stock 18" alloy wheels, grigio or white diamond pearl exterior, black or umber interior. Leaning towards grigio/umber $37,500 Beemer is smaller, but much faster with the twin turbo, has free maintenance for 4 years or 50,000 miles, but costs $8,000 more. TL also fast, has roomier interior yet still feels compact, probably better traction with AWD, unique early model sex appeal vs BMW about to change body style. Far less expensive sales price, cheaper after year 4 to operate than BMW according to Acura (probably debatable). BMW oil change avarages $150.00 TL cost $35 |

Replying to: kingpcgeek (Jun 27, 2009 7:50 pm) I understand Apple changed the way the iPhone charges, so it's technically their fault. I also read that there's a new iPod cable from MB that is black instead of white and it does charge the iPhone. |
