You are in the Acura TL Forum. Your Hosts are pat & karens
I don't understand why people in US want hp - they have speed limits on highway. It will be much more reasonable to value hp in germany...

Replying to: v_lad (May 22, 2006 8:45 pm) 0-60 times. Having enough torque, too, cannot be overstated. The BMW 3 series and TL are running about 50 lbs-ft. of torque behind the G. Torque is really what gives the driving experience. |

just test-driven G35. Impression: definetly better than Lexus in accessory quality and refinement and was very convenient to me. Very nice seats. Sport-tuned suspension is still comfortable. I tested manual and had problems with shifter - clutch setup (like BMWs much more). Not a smooth engine - lot's of vibration. You need to try G35 if you are shopping around. Can't compare with Acura because I've never driven it.

Replying to: kdshapiro (May 23, 2006 4:01 pm) I think you are wasting your breath on factfinder. I submit two pieces of evidence: Item #1, his statement: "Torque is really what gives the driving experience." Item #2: He drives a slush box. The G35 is a decent car, but I think the above two items of evidence should tell you that his definition of "driving experience" and yours (or mine) is worlds apart. I would submit that anyone that voluntarily drives an automatic "sport" sedan (oxymoron aside) isn't likely to appreciate the finer points of handling, steering, braking, and obviously, the control and enjoyment of a precise short throw manual. To each their own, I guess. |

Replying to: kdshapiro (May 23, 2006 4:01 pm) But there are so many more stop lights than there are tight ess turns to weave in and out of. So the buttery thing leaves your hands greasy more often than not. And most of us can't fit comfortably in a 3er.

Replying to: sidpaul (Nov 03, 2005 10:39 pm) I didnt look at the BMW ( didnt want German). The only negative is that i am only getting only about 15 miles per gallon... good luck Andrew |
