Aw, gee ... thanks, sandy! Somethimes a little levity is necessary to keep the debate from getting too serious and heated.

Actually, if Acura had to super-size the car to accommodate the AWD system, then there's something wrong. BMW and Audi, just 2 examples, managed to fit very sophisticated and capable AWD systems in their compact-size models.

Bigger does not necessarily equate with worse agility or performance! With the AWD version, the bigger TL can be both agile (around corners) and comfortable (in the cabin). However, as some have pointed out, only the back seats are bigger, despite the much larger exterior dimensions, which says quite a bit about Acura's flawed design. I like the 3G design and dimensions, but I do not mind the larger 4G, so long as it remains agile with the AWD. Did someone mention that the 4G has a smaller turn circle?

'Bigger does not necessarily equate with worse agility or performance..."
 
I didn't imply that. I just found it perplexing that Acura had to increase the size of the car just to implement an AWD system, if that is indeed the reason for the increase in exterior dimensions.

'99-'03 vs. '04-'08 by hpmctorque

Going back several messages, there was a discussion about the relative size of the '99-'03 generation TL compared to the next one, and the point was made in a few messages that the '04-'08 was smaller than the precious generation. Well, yes and no; while the ''04-'08s are indeed shorter, they're also wider than the '99-'03s. The '09 is bigger (longer, wider and heavier) than both previous generations. For this reason, I'd choose a '09 3-Series or A4 to replace our '99 TL.

No matter what you say about this new TL, it's way better than the FWD, torque steering, rattling sunroof, bad speakers, cheap leather, horrible turning radius car that you have.

I don't think it's really necessary to insult someone else's choice of vehicle - you can say say you prefer the TL without the insults, please.

Last month, I was folllowing a discussion between Avalon/Camry/ES350 and when one person was repeatedly (in a good way) posting that they are different cars and cannot be compared, the host asked him to leave the discussion (in a rude way). They deleted his post and he said that he is not going to return to this forum. Kirstie is being nice to you, so please have some sanity to the discussion.
