Any discussion of style is a version of 'going out on a limb'. Bold styling may indicate testosterone to some and to others it's just bold style...period. Having been a car fan for 50 years, my taste is far too eclectic to be assigned to the testosterone 'category'. Whether one person 'notices' a certain number of instances does not comprise hard data. I would be more interested in true sales figures.
My wife chose our TL over BMW, Audi, Infinity, VW and Lexus. Her good friend drives a CTS, another, a 300.
The proof in any car is the driving experience. Not wanting to be seen in one is truly limiting oneself and missing a great ride.

Our of curiosity...what mileage are you getting?
 
I'm sure I've come across a number of posts on mileage...but it could take a while to dig it all up...so if you could let me know I'd appreciate it.
 
Thanks

In mixed driving we are getting 21-22. Long term highway moves up to 24, but we have not taken many highway rides more than 40 miles. Our 325 got 23 around town. When we moved and my wife's commute was approx 25 highway miles with a minimum of local, it actually rose to 28. So, mileage is a bit less, comfort a lot more.

Wow-23 around town, that's acceptable, I had the 2003 Type S and I barely got 17 around town.

Hey, I'm not ashamed of being limited in my rides.
 
You're right about being interested in the data . . . research shows that men prefer an orange red and women prefer a blue red in paint colors (and clothes.) I stated a generalization -- general, not absolute -- and am pretty confident that sales data will back it up in time.
 
I remember when a good friend of mine (male) leased the Infiniti FX when they first came out . . . his male acquaintances liked it, his female acquaintances didn't. It's not the first time there is a gender difference in tastes!
 
BTW, does the new TL still retain the black steering wheel? If so, they should release the Arizona-limited edition TL, sans the black.

That was my BMW 325. It was amazing with gas, but winter traction and the stick shift got old for us.

i take it the trunk in the awd is too small - even for a few sets of golf clubs?

I would doubt the trunk is too small for a few sets of clubs. Of course if the bag is like those I saw in "CaddyShack"...well, maybe.

I don't think personal observation qualifies as a statistical generalization . I'll wait for real stats.
My wife also hated the style of every Infiniti.
The wheel on the taupe interior is black.

21-22 mpg mixed sounds pretty good to me for the sh-awd...now if I can just get another manufacturer incentive to come out I'll be ready to buy!
 
Thanks!
