I will like to apologize to everyone I offended. I started off on the wrong foot with this forum and I will like a new start. I'm angry because my Audi broke again for the 3rd time and it is a really expensive car. I guess I am redirecting my rage at anything on or off the forums. I was embarrassed because of my beautiful Audi breaking in a crowded tourist area. I'm a very good looking guy. I wear beautiful clothes. My hair was slicked back and it was perfect. I was bumping Doctor Dre to the highest volume and everything was just so perfect. Girls were getting moist just looking at me. Than my Audi broke and it wouldn't start. Busy intersection. Everyone started laughing because I looked so arrogant and cocky prior to it breaking. This nerd drove by in his new Lexus IS 350 F Sport and had the audacity to shake his head at me. Anyways I would like a new start.(And a new car).

On the other hand, if you are comparing the dynamic performance between a $48k 4-series and a TLX, well that's something different altogether. I for one, would rather have a base 435i, sport line (not M-Sport, mind you) with RWD than a FWD biased (even if it is AWD) anything from Acura's current lineup at this point. Regardless, why we are comparing a coupe (4-series) with the TLX is a bit of a mystery to me in this discussion.

If you give me a fully loaded TLX SHAWD vs base model 435. I will take 435 every time because:
it is RWD and it is 6mt.
Those 2 > everything that TLX has to offer.
I know my requirement does not represent the mass but somehow coincidentally, i have a feeling that there will be more ppl buying base 435 than fully loaded TLX SHAWD
on a related note: it makes me wonder how the TLX 4 banger with DCT or 6mt will be if it was RWD?

oh yes. Butthurt. Delicious, satiating, irresistible butthurt.
Shame he had to get banned. I was looking forward to more of his college buddies laughing at us
Anyway, I'm in the same boat, if I actually had to choose. BMW = lease. Acura = buy. I wouldn't get either though... I'd wait for the new turbo 4-cylinder to be dropped in the IS.

not the Twin turbo with the VQ for the next Q60?

Well, call me complacent...at least do SOMETHING. Acura has plain and simple said they are comfortable at staying where they are in the market and what segment they want to compete in...THAT for me is disappointing. It's what some of us are accusing them of: complacency.
Of course, nothing wrong with that I suppose. But, it makes you lament what they WERE.

the way I see, if folks want more car it will cost more money.
true, but maybe not right after a recession when half your line of cars isn't selling so well? I do think it hurts the brand not having a halo though.

You really do take passive-aggressive to an art form. Of course you declared "victory" when you stated "point made" and now when you say "true and easily verifiable." I suppose in your world, if a poster you are thinking about as running away from this discussion isn't participating, it must be a direct relationship, right? No coincidences?

I thought you said you are waiting for the 4 banger turbo for the IS, y not wait for the TT V6 for the Q60?

I say the turbo IS because that would be a much more appealing base engine than the underpowered 2.5L V6 they have in it now. Plus we're talking about the 4-series GC, which is still kinda in the same price range.

i believe the regular Q60 will have a detuned version of that for RWD. and it will be in the same price range or i would not be surprised if it is the same engine as C400.

Credible rumor, I know of a few
Type S is a definite. 6 speed manual dependent upon final emissions/EPA ratings and how they affect CAFE etc.
A coupe variant is 'a go' and spy photographers should be working hard to find one!

I saw a white 4GC a couple weeks ago. It's good looking but doesn't look "coupe" enough for me.....The 6GC is way sexier.....but considering the relatively small price premium for the 4GC, I supposed that's fine....
Link?

I'm the Firestarter
You are 42 years old. This forum (non sub forum) is mostly filled with guys in their 30's and 40's. I'm not trying to be rude here but the moderators need to give younger guys like me a chance to flourish. A lot of the 'forum' lingo you guys consider 'rude' and 'aggressive' is now common place. Go check out any sports forums.(mostly younger posters) The posts I have made is not considered rude at all. A bit aggressive perhaps for Acurazine's tastes? I'll tone it down. But seriously you are 40+, that means you are a whole generation older than the average forum user on the net. You have got to at least accept the way we talk.
Rude but acceptable is: 'I'm sorry. That's retarded'
'No Moron' and 'Ok Dumbass'
Crossing the line is: (Racism) (Direct full frontal insults-F'Bombs and F Bombs non stop) (Insulting Family) (Insulting Religion,sexuality)
At least that's the commonly accepted rules of the forums in today's internet. But I noticed that car forums are a lot more strict and I'll stick to the rules. You can't just call me a 'troll' though simply because I joined this forum with the idea that it's just like Real Gm or Body Building. It's not. I'm aware of that now. I will abade by it.
