Re: TL maybe?

The price of gas and the decision of some Chrysler dealers with an SRT made
me select the TL. I had also looked at the Infinity G35 but that was too
small but what a SWEET engine.

Has many horsies cheap.

I dunno, if I could drive any car on the planet for free, but I
actually had to drive it on the freeway a couple of hours a day, I
might just go for a BMW M3.  Or a Bentley.  Or an Accord.  At 15mph,
it doesn't much matter, and I like smaller cars.

And if I have to pay for gas and insurance, the Accord goes way up on
the list.  Much less service.  Though it's not way up on the list of
"chicks dig it".  I guess that's why you end up with a TL!

TL Acura has a little more displacement, a little higher compression
and more top-end horsepower, uses premium gas, includes all the
goodies you can order on an Accord, another year of warranty, and a
nicer badge.  I'd have to check to see if it runs on a slightly
lowered suspension or has lower-profile tires, probably both, those
are the tricks they used in the past.  Maybe more/strong sway bars.

It still won't handle like the Beamer.  I think 90% decide between the
Accord and Acura on the badge.  I went Accord this time because with
the 4-banger engine burning regular gas, it was suffiently cheaper and
still plenty fast enough for my purposes.

But I keep looking longingly at the beamers ...

Currently driving a BMW 325xi

Looked and drove an 07 TL.

Is Acura really a dressed up Accord? What exactly do they share, and
what are the major differences besides all the options and nice
appointments?

Thanks
