Audi A4 vs Acura TL vs Volvo S60 vs VW Passat

I think "compromise" was a poor choice of words, "blend" is better.

6 to one; 1/2 dozen to the other. I think I used the word "compromise," and this might just be a temporary outlook of mine on life, but everything is about compromise, and determining which features are more important. With my TL, I may be giving up RWD accelleration and a smaller car's handling compared to most of its competitors, and may be giving up some luxury compared to Lexis' offerings, but the combo and balance on those things make the TL the perfect compromise for me. I guess "blend" would work, too!!!

BTW, Frisco, anything come to fruition re your search for the perfect car?

If you want to use the word "compromise", then by all means, use it. Stick to your guns and don't let anyone dictate to you what's acceptable...

As a lawyer you should know the value of the correct wording, blend is much better than compromise.

I have expanded my search for the perfect car to include the exotic, and unusual, like the alfa. I keep expanding my search, that it's becoming a real chore. I think I am developing a psychlological block.

Yep, you're right. You must be a linguist!

"Compromise" has a negative connotation.

From what I understand, if you want a reasonably priced, no-frills exotic sports car, the Lotus Elise can't be beat.

My wife thought that the TL had the best blend of sport and lux than any car on the road, and I agree.
