Replying to: stickyman (Sep 10, 2005 5:28 pm) I got a Silver with a black interior, I have never heard of a exterior Silver with a gray interior, sounds good. I am also going to look for after market chrome wheels when I switch to Michellins.

Replying to: frisconick (Sep 10, 2005 11:18 pm) Frisconick, I highly recommend that when you are ready for new tires, look at the Yokohama AS 430's. Go to "Tire Rack.com" and read the comments about them. I have 20,000miles on them (2003 TL Type S) and they look new. The ride, comfort, noise level, and handling is great. I believe I paid $113.00 each, including tax, valve stem,etc......Michellins are Super tires but, you might want to take a peek at the Yokohama,s and put the savings to the chrome wheels. When I pick up the 05 tomorrow, I'll let you know what the interior color is called (looks gray to me but, I'm Old) Take care and enjoy the ride Replies to this message: frisconick (Sep 11, 2005 10:00 am) stickyman (Sep 12, 2005 10:49 am)

Replying to: frisconick (Sep 11, 2005 10:00 am) The interior color is called Quartz (a light gray to me). It is a nice looking car..
#216 of 231 Re: Features I wish the TL had and doesn't :c( [nightcrawler29] by tlluvr Nov 19, 2005 (10:44 pm)
Replying to: nightcrawler29 (Jul 04, 2005 2:11 pm) Golly Gee Gomer this here Acura is a just a pretty good car?! Shezam! What are you used to....a 72 Vega?   Hey I think it was the original K-Car that had the talking instrument panel. Remember the classic "A Door is Ajar! A Door is Ajar!" Oh what a wonder melody. Just what you want to hear at the end of the day after trying to pay the monthly payment on this car! Forget it!!! That was the beginning of the downslide for the American auto industry. Gimmicky crap!   Also, the digital readouts have been tried before on numerous vehicles to no avail. Studies have shown humans can interpret analog gauges much faster. How many digital readouts do you see in a jet fighter? Not many for this very reason.   If you really need these features go get a 10 or 15 year old Lincoln Continental or Mark 4. You'll also get the crappy quality along with it.

Jet fighter.... analog?.. which war?... lol   All F-22's/F-18's all have digital heads-up displays.   Analog displays belong on the ground --

Replying to: mmm17 (Oct 24, 2003 8:30 am) How are you doing? I'm hoping to purchase a 03 TL. But I am curious about its navigation system. Can you answer for me?   My issue is that I wonder navigation on '03 TL Type-S does tell me what to do like 'making left turn at 0.3mile ahead with its voice. Does this model have function of helping me with its own voice?    I just visited a dealershop to but a used '03 TL Type-S with Navigation/Onstar. But a salesperson told me that Navigation system of this model doesn't tell me how to get to a place with its voice. It is so weird. If it can't let me know the direction with its voice, I can't understand that why it is called navigation system. She told me that I can just refer to the point where I stands and I can refer to the direction with my eyes. I think there was some misunderstanding between her and me. Can you let me know? Thank you.
#219 of 231 automatic transmission problems by jclements1 Apr 15, 2006 (6:32 am)
I am buying a new car and the 2006 TL is a distinct possibility. But I have heard that the TL has had more than its share of problems with the automatic transmissions. Having had two previous Honda products I was surprised to hear this.   Can anyone provide any background or information on this subject? Thanks   John Clements Replies to this message: jrourke (Apr 15, 2006 6:25 pm) aaargh (Apr 17, 2006 8:21 am)

Replying to: jclements1 (Apr 15, 2006 6:32 am) Can anyone provide any background or information on this subject?   You might get a better response over in the general TL forum or the TL problems and solutions forum. Having said that, I seem to recall reading some trans issues possibly in an earlier model (maybe 2004) but don't recall reading anything about the 2006 in my own research of the car.

Replying to: jclements1 (Apr 15, 2006 6:32 am) The transmission problem was with the previous generation TL, 2003 and before. Other than a drive-line vibration when it shifts into 5th on some TLs, the tranny has been problem free. See the TL problems and solutions forum for details, but remember what you read there are posts from those that have problems, not the majority of happy TL owners.   I love my TL.
