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. . .
