I've gotta admit, although I'm not easily persuaded to follow the "Lemming" (common belief, etc), I suppose a thread like this can cause racism or singling out of certain ethnic groups should a sub-objective or immature (perhaps ignorant)minded individual decided to post something. Anyways, as a Canadian, I am glad that the majority if not all of you are open-minded and not just faking political correctness, especially during a time of racial sensitivity/profiling? sadly, but yet thankfully only limited to a select few ignorant folks who don't know the difference i.e . a 25yr old dude (Black) in Buffalo, NY asking if I was Indian then saying (you must be Hindu and follow Gandhi!!!!!!) LMAO... Ignorance is bliss, I guess as long as it is kept out of here, this thread should be more for curiousity purposes, if not to give Acura/Honda a "FREE" marketing tool to differentiate btwn a 5'2 frame of a certain ethnic background vs 6ft frame of another certain ethnic background.

That being said, quite eloquently may I add lol, the thread is good for two things:
1. Free market research for Acura (demographic/physiological)
2. to confirm the stereotype of the typical folks who drive these cars and regardless of ethnic background to say that everyone here made a sensible decision, other than the fact that the TL has a 39ft turning radius, akin to a GMC Suburban.

If those reasons aren't good enough then:
3. Ethnic/social cliques

In saying all this, I've be come quite popular ... so I will just hope someone will answer the yet unanswered question (maybe I missed the boat/spaceship on this one, but here goes):

How the heck do we have 18 Aliens owning a TL (as per the Polls)? I mean at the least I'd expect an alien to own a 2007 MDX b/c of its rock-crawling abilities.
