Me too.. mine is filthy.. (Is that a different breed of dirt? I've never seen the "dirty" dirt he speaks of... just that nasty gray filth of a dust on mine...)

Yea she was dirty... that damn pollen and dust in FL will kill the looks..

gotta love the 4 piston massive brembo brakes standard  after putting them to the test on this reasonably heavy car all i can say is that the brakes are a little overkill.. but we all like overkill..

From what I've read, the torque steer is the only negative.

FWD and torque steer.. TOV and acura claim its the LSD taking over but I say no. 270hp and fwd..hmmm..
this car does come with a VSC
Vehicle Stability Control unit in additon to the LSD and work independant of one another. With VSC on the torque steer is null and void...but you also loose a little power to..

Personally I wouldn't drop that kind of dough on FWD but hey, it's your money not mine.

it depends on what $35,000 means to someone..
to some its the equivalent to $100,000
others its $10
We looked at the 3 series and G35
G35 the interior was waay tooo cheap!
3 series well a few sources like consumer reports etc..among others rated the new TL over the 3..
to me the TL competes more with the 5 series..thats how good it is.

I'm glad you're happy with the purchase though; I know I would be. She's a beautiful car.
I don't think you can really compare the 2:
TL has a FAR BETTER AND SUPERIOR transmission,
A SIGNIFICANTLY LARGER engine
And an extrememly classy interior + gadgets to boot (DVD Audio??)
The 6 is nice, it's a budget 3L Duratec in my book, I'd take a transplanted CSVT with an Escape 3L over a 6 ANY day just because I don't see much difference in the fit and finish. . .and I've taken both out on the track, well, ok, the 6 was modified (on that Mazadaspeed event thing), so they were almost close in handling, but I digress. . .the Mazda is in a lower braket for a reason, it doesn't possess the perfection Acura has attained. . .
