What your problem is?
24, bought by me, financed by me, and driven by me......
So, it appears that Acura has missed its mark with the age it was seeking out... I am also pretty sure that the forum posters do not meet the annual income requirement either.... Acura needs to better research and market their cars better....
Man, it does suck that kids are driving this car, I remember when I was 16, I was driving a piece of shit Ford, I did not get my civic till I was in college, but it is a free country.... and if their parents want to buy nice cars for their kids, then so be it.... I ain't hatin', but if one of you inexperienced drivers causes my insurance to spike (cause it just went down) TL or no TL, that is an ass woopin'....... Until then, keep on haulin' ass.....

Age/ Car Rating
I am 46 and have owned Honda Preludes, and Nissan Maxima's. I nearly got another Maxima but was intrigued by the TL. This car is so much better than the Maxima re: sound system, features, handling and speed much more fun. I think it blows the aesthetic of the Maxima away which becoming a little bloated although attractive. Outstanding car. My BMW buddies are blown away by the Sat radio and the DVD audio. I am driving down my driveway and back just to stay in the car and it's only 50'-0" long. The best car I have ever owned. A 10.

I am 25 now, and traded in an '03 Escalade for the TL. Fantastic Car, Very happy with what I purchased.
I also have a '01 Toyota Camry.
Since I was 16, I have had a '89 Chevy Beretta, '00 Toyota Corolla, and a '94 Jeep Wrangler. Yes thats 5 cars in 9 yrs, I get bored quick!
Dad drives a '04 Lincoln Town Car, Mom Drives a '02 Toyota Sienna (soon to be either an Acura MDX or Lexus RX330--which one should I get??)

I'm 37 and just picked up my 2004 TL on April 29th. My previous car was a 2004 TSX that I bought last April.
As far as fun factor goes, I give my TL a solid 9/10.

41 years old, drive a 2000 TL. I like the look of the '04, but am much too attached to my ride to part with it. I've simply come to terms with the fact that I'm not going to have as much horsepower. No problem--it's a sweet ride nonetheless.
