What's going to be your next car??

I never thought I'd sell my TL, regret it sometimes, but I love my CL-S. Was curious what cars you guys have in mind if and when you get rid of your TL's?

'04 RL will replace the '97 sometime in the next year or two.

My bro has the new IS, pretty sweet car. That's cool Ken. I may still go with a BMW 330CI in 3-4 years after my CL is done up. I almost got one, and still love them.

My next car will probably be an '06 or '07 Accord EX 4-cyl. With the nature of my job, I really can't afford the gas anymore so I really need something that's more efficient.

I want a SUV but that will waste more gas than what I have now. So i will prob get a honda civic/accord. I'm done with modding cars...except audio.

Well you heard it here first....I will NEVER sell or trade my 3.2. I love this car, but my next car will most likely be an SUV. Maybe the BMW X5

with 112K miles on my TL and driving 10k miles a year, I hope to get another 10 years on my car so my next car will probably be 2016 "something"

I'm gonna be buying a pre-owned s2000 pretty soon for a second car. I think my official "next" car will be a new TL or RL. I will however never get rid of my current TL. Its been too good of a car and i know it will continue to be that way for the next several years.

I'd probably drive my wife's Civic as my commuter and get her something new, probably an Accord coupe. We are trying to save as much money for our next home, so can't splurge too much on cars. I'd love to get the new IS, but that will have to wait.

I think I will leave my Acura and join the Infiniti family soon.
Acura are nice cars, but Infiniti are just beautiful and stronger.

Acura needs to step up more on horse powers. I hate how they are environmental conscients. Thats their campaign not mine so f*ck that, and produce what,"WE WANT B*TCH".

I have one thing to say to Honda.
Devevelop the god damn V8, V10 engines and put turbos/superchargers on the RSX,TL,TSX,Civic,RL,Accord models already damnant!
I probably come back if it becomes a reality.

I think my next car will be a Lexus. I would love to get another Acura, but I'm fed up with all their tranny issues.

Those tranny issues exist only on the 2nd gen TL/CL

Besides, Lexus has had a few issues with oil sludge.. no one is perfect

I'm speaking from personal experience.
I have owned the following: 1994 Honda Accord, 1999 Honda Accord, 1996 Acura 2.5 TL, and 2002 Acura CL type S. All have had some type of problem with the transmission.

My experience with Toyota have been good so far in regards to transmission.
My family members have owned: 1986 Toyota truck, 1987 Cressida, corolla, Tacoma Prerunner. Never had any problems with the tranny.

Unless I have major problems with my 2 week old TL, my next car with probably (95%) be another Honda or Acura. My first two cars (Nissan and Dodge) had major problems, while my two Hondas were both just about perfect! Hopefully car #5 (the TL) will follow the trend of the last two!

Probably a 4g TL, maybe a 5g if my 3g runs that long.

I'd like an Acura version of the M45. The specs on the Infiniti are nice, but it is butt as ugly. Especially the tail lights.

If I'm rich, I will buy two BMW M3s. One to drive and one to be at the dealer getting repaired.

like Tails says, unless i have major issue with my 2 week old TL, ill prob grab another Acura. However, this is definitely after I save enough cash to get a porsche boxster. Ive had a silver boxster replica for years now, can't wait to get the real thing. That would be a dream come true!

yeah, the IS is a pretty sweet car. for it to be cheaper, you would have to get some variant of the IS250 which only has 204hp and 185 ft/lb of torque.

but back to the subject, if i had to choose, i would probably get a TL, IS350, or a BMW 3 series of some sort. I'm thinking that list will change though, seeing as I'm only 18 and my car just hit 110,000 miles. I'll probably drive it through college and a few years after before I buy a new car.

I'm actually negotiating a 2001 Audi A4 Quattro 1.8 Turbo right now. I can talk them down a lot, because I work there. haha. I Detail at my local Acura dealership and they have a used lot too. 5-speed manual. I've been wanting a manual for too long. If i get it, I'll miss my TL a lot, becuase I have a nice stereo system in my TL

MDX w/ Navi. White on tan. I'm a Sales Rep and I'm always on the road. Navigation would be SO nice. Plus I could use some extra cargo room for all of the literature I haul around. My 96 2.5 only has 115k on it. I'm sure I can get at least another 100k out of it before I think about upgrading.

I am lookin at either a G35 coupe, 540i Bimmer or a 3g TL. (none new of course) Just depends on which one I find in the right condition for the right price when the time comes next year after I move into the house.

CTS-V I'm sure it's a rattlebox, but it's a damn fast and reasonably priced rattlebox.

Mike,
this is funny that you made this thread.
I'm selling my TL and looking at 2003 CL S types!
How does the 6 speed feel? And how much was yours with how many miles etc?
