Replying to: golfrski (Jan 03, 2009 1:54 pm) I had understood exactly where you were coming from. And I agree that Acura appears to be no longer chasing the 3-series (with the TL). The SH-AWD TL does seem to be targeted at the 5-series. Maybe not the 550, or certainly not the M5, but most certainly the 535ix. So, yeah, I think your comparison is valid. You gotta know, there are some members around here that are only interested in chest-thumping.
#1288 of 1532 Leno chin car by smithed Jan 07, 2009 (9:40 am)
This thing has too much "chin": just look at that overhang preceding the front wheels. Is that a cow catcher? Replies to this message: bodble2 (Jan 07, 2009 10:26 am)

Replying to: smithed (Jan 07, 2009 9:40 am) Yeah, I agree. I thought they could have tried harder to shave a couple of inches off of the front and an inch or so off the back. It would have improved the side profile view, and also resulted in tidier exterior dimensions. At over 195", it is just too long for a mid-size sedan.

Well, you cannot compare "Oscar De La Hoya" with "Mike Tyson".. both are incredible athletes, but in different weight/size categories.. and as you know, each gram counts when matching the boxers.. same here, TL and BMW 3 are in different weight/size range (each inch and pound counts), and the "weight/size" is one of the most critical properties to be based on when comparing cars.. Seemingly insignificant difference in size/weight does matter, I hope you agree with me. If it doesn't matter to you then what's the difference between BMW 3 and BMW 5 series? They seem to be pretty close in size/weight, do they? In this sense you're right, TL is more comparable to some Buick, but so is BMW 5.. Besides, FWD and RWD are two entirely diffrerent drivetrain principles.. each being good for different driving needs/habbits.. given this, TL (being FWD) is compared to BMW 3, but cannot be compared to BWM 5 (both being RWD).. doesn't make mcuh sense to me at all, there is no logic.. I guess that's just the BMW/Mercedes magic By the way, don't get me wrong, my wife drives BMW 535 2008, so I have an idea what it is.. and I drive TL-S 2007.. to me they look more comparable (if at all) than when my car is parked next to my friend's BMW 335 2007.. anyway, just wanted to be objective and have no intention to argue simply because I cannot say what's better apple or orange.. cheers!

Does anyone know if i buy the new TL at a NJ dealer and register it in NY where I live, will it still be covered by the NY lemon Law? The Ny dealer says it won't and the NJ dealer says of course it will! what a shocker!! Replies to this message: traindriver (Jan 12, 2009 7:36 pm)

Replying to: vballplayer30 (Jan 12, 2009 4:19 pm) cut and copied from lord knows where: (google NY lemon law)   The law covers both new and used cars, including "demos," which satisfy the following four conditions:   The car was covered by the manufacturer's new car warranty at the time of original delivery; and The car was purchased, leased or transferred within the earlier of the first 18,000 miles or two years from the date of original delivery; and The car either: (a) was purchased, leased or transferred in New York, or (b) is presently registered in New York; and The car is primarily used for personal purposes. Some examples of cars that are covered by the new car lemon law are: a new car purchased or leased from a New Jersey dealer and registered in New York; a year-old, demonstrator car with less than 18,000 miles purchased from a New York dealer and registered in New Jersey; a used car with less than 18,000 miles and less than 2-years old, purchased from a Connecticut dealer and registered in New York; a used car with less than 18,000 miles and less than 2-years old, received as a gift from a friend and registered in New York.
#1293 of 1532 Re: 2009 ACURA TL FWD or SHAWD? VERDICT......... [ezielanski] by keithl Jan 13, 2009 (4:34 am)
Replying to: ezielanski (Nov 23, 2008 6:38 pm) I have been test driving the 09 TL AWD a few times now. I have owned 5 Acura TL cars since 04, the last 2 were Type-S. Coming from a Type-S which I love the base FWD TL is just too soft and numb. But this is personal preference and depnding on what you are used to or coming from. The AWD has a great handling ride and is more refined the the 08 Type-S as it hanldes better and yet soaks up the bumps without jarring the cabin. I don;t need AWD, but want that ride over the softer FWD version.

Replying to: keithl (Apr 04, 2008 1:09 pm) You've had 5 TL's in the last 5 years?! That means you have bought several within the same model generation. May I ask why? Replies to this message: keithl (Jan 16, 2009 9:39 pm) bodble2 (Jan 17, 2009 12:00 am)
