Replying to: hauss (Apr 25, 2007 10:01 am) I had the previous generation Type S- got rid of it back in September 2006.The current generation TL does not interest me not even the S model.I am stepping up to a different class (upgrade) but I am skeptical about the new generation TL.I might have buyers remorse if I pull the plug on the GS, the new TL might be a killer.I am in no rush, currently in our household, we have a 04 Accord and 94 Camry getting us around.

Replying to: mefistofeles (Apr 25, 2007 11:53 pm) Thanks for the concern but we had already gotten the vehicle for her when I made that post and we are confident it was the right choice for her. For one, I already have a TL and we didn't want two of those in our household. For another she wanted something that was geared more toward luxury than sport. We tested every car in the GS350s class and we both determined it to be the best vehicle for us.   As for which vehicle is easier to manuever in tight spaces that would be the GS easily. It's RWD layout gives it a tigher turning radius than the FWD TL. Also, these vehicles are in the same size class (Mid) and are virtually indentical in size externally and internally. The GS350 is 190" long and the TL is 189.3" long. Inside the GS has more front seat space, a smaller back seat, and less headroom than the TL.   IMO, the TL and GS350 are not really comparable as they are designed for different purposes.

Replying to: addams (Feb 11, 2009 7:11 am) You might think differently if you live in the snowbelt. But in any case, the AWD option in the new TL resolves the "wrong wheel drive" issue. But of course, they've now made it in the "wrong size".

I'd take AWD over FWD in any weather.
