yeah it is indeed, but I wish they would make it more customizable..... like well I don't know.... how about automatically playing the star trek or star wars soundtrack as you back out from your garage??.... or somehow be able to set a greeting in such way that whenever you open the driver's door and start the ignition, a sexy sounding female voice, other than your wife, says something like "welcome (person's name), you are thiner and better looking than yesterday".... I don't know, but I wouldn't want to get out of the car!! But ok, one practical thing I could wish for, is that acura made fold up ignition keys, like Volkswagen does. Having this big key and a separate controller in the same keychain is antiquated, and does not look well on a $30k car.... VW has a pretty cool looking fold up key with controls integrated, and its offered with cars that are about $10k bucks cheaper!!. The TL is a very nice car, and has a lot to offer in terms of features.... but there's always room for improvement, especially on the simple most common things.

If you have Navi then you know that the extra talking can be quite annoying and disruptive if are having a discussion or even listening to music. I really enjoy my 05 TL and you choose the voice, male or female, when you fiddle with the settings. And as for the warning voice, that could be really distracting. the 04s and 05s (im not sure about previous years) Make distinct beeps as warnings to check ur control panel which immediately tells u something is up.
 
And Finally for the gauges being manual: that's frikkin awesome. Those of us that are car-lovers and those of us that love our tach.. like the non-digi form of read out. All high performance cars have non-digi read out. it just makes the ride more fun. Digi read outs look tacky and too retro. The interior design of the TL is luxury, so the "pod thingies" and the manual read outs fit in perfectly to create a rich experience.

I purchased a 2005 TL w/Navi today at Superior Acura in Overland Park, Ks. Paid $32650.00 plus $195.00 doc.fee and TT&L. I will pick up the car on Monday. I'm a crrent owner of 2003 TL TypeS. I looked at the Avalon, CTS, 530, and settled on the TL. Why(?) the price, 3.5 hours from time of first contact to signing the papers, a beautiful car and great time with nice people. I highly recommend Superior and "Go K-State"
