Honda Acknowledges TL Quality Issues

Don't know if you saw this (or if it a repost), but in the auto round table

I see that the new Accord v6 is really fast like the Acura TL too.  Is the TL
pretty much an upgraded version of the Accord?
Being a Lexus ES300 owner, I am familiar with platform sharing as mine is Camry
based. At first I thought the ES300 was pretty mych a v6 Camry with minor

All,
I just bought a 2004 TL with navi yesterday for $34695,
plus tax and fees.
The finance person tried to sell me extended warranty,

Our 2002 Acura TL (non S) was rear ended a few weeks ago (other person
was 100% at fault). This accident resulted in about $11,000 in damage
(so far, they keep finding more stuff) and will take about a month in
total to fix.

Next month I will be buying either a TSX or TL (both 2004), and I'm
wondering what the factory break-in period recommendations are. I looked
around Acura's website but didn't find anything.
Does anyone know what the recommendations are, or tell me where on the web

Look what my dealer wants to do for me!
Oil and filter change
Chassis lubrication?
BG MOA additive

Having read many horror stories about the Turanza EL42s, I noticed that
the Acura website specifies that a $200 option is "P235/45R17 93W High
Performance Bridgestone Potenza."
I haven't read any comments about these.  Does anyone have any

I'm a Lexus owner, but am starting to like the TL a lot.  I see the Road and
Track performance figures compare well with Maxima, Lexus and BMW 330. How long
has the TL been fast like this?
A 2001-02 TL is what I would buy. Is this the same basic car as the '04? How

After a couple of front end accidents and sheet metal repairs, I believe my
'93 integra needs what used to be called a "frame-pull"..the tires wear out
almost immediately on the inside edges...it feels as though this is the only
part of the tire actually solidly on the ground...the ...

Other than the performance and other specs, and the price differential, has
anybody driven the TSX and TL back to back?  How do they compare?

My wife has a 2001 CL type S with a Navi System. She purchased the DVD
upgrade, 2.11C and it arrived a couple of weeks ago.
While we were out riding she entered our home address and the Navi
System responded that our house address was not in the data base for

I need to remove the carpeted protective case for my CD changer in the trunk
of my 2000 RL. I believe I need to remove it to release the magazine, as it
is not releasing.  It looks like one of the CD arms is engaged in the player
and I have not been able to gently prod, push, pry or ...

I am looking at a new TL, wondering whether to get the car with the nav
system installed by Acura, or finding a 3rd party.
I understand that you get the voice command system with the Acura nav
package. What else would I miss?

I'm thinking of driving my RSX-S with the OEM wheels in the winter. This
will eventually pit the wheels. My question is: Will the resale value of the
car be depreciated if I put nice and much cheaper aftermarket wheels on the
car instead of a replacement set of OEM wheels?

How many litres of oil is it from the top to bottom dot on the dipstick?
It's been 2200 kilometers (1370 miles) since my last oil change and I'm
almost at the bottom dot already.  I've got about 18,000 kms on my car and
my dealer is telling me that this is normal.  I know that ...
