Maybe American Acura design team is unable to create the rigidity body or think of something else.

soopir, I'm 36 (younger than the intended demographic for the TL) and I see myself quite nicely in the car, even with kids. If you go over to A-TL.com, you'll see a lot of younguns (teens) whose mommy and daddy want to buy them a $35k car and who are just drooling over it.
that is me, and I agree, the tl is godlike
I Like it, so do the ladies

I just did a 3000-mile round trip a few weeks ago and I got 29-30. Not bad for this fire-breathing V6. This is as good as my 2G TL, which had the base engine (225 hp). I also agree that the TSX has sufficient power. Its edge, especially against a bone stock TL, is in the handling--it is clearly superior. I had to add mods to bring my TL close to the TSX.
I'm hoping for SH-AWD in the TL. I'm positive it's coming, I just wish I knew when. And I hope they do something to reduce weight to take the SH-AWD into account; or (prays on knees) add another 30 hp to carry all that pork around.

Very interesting thread. My dad is thinking about getting a TL right now. It would be awesome if he does,...cause then I can steal it sometimes while he can use the TSX (which he already does). It would be TSX and its big brother when I look out the window.

I bought a 98 TL in 2000. I loved it and it had tons of energy. I kept it for 2 years. When I went back in August of this year to get another Acura I went there with intentions of the TL only. After looking at the TSX and no longer wanted the TL. The only thing I miss from my TSX is I wish it was faster. Other than that I am extremely satisfied with my car. It is comfortable, stylish, XM, and has plenty of room for myself, my husband, and our 3 boys. I plan on giving the TSX to my oldest in 6 years for his first car. Then it will be paid off and I can get another new Acura. To me, the TL is not worth the extra money and I am so glad the salesperson showed me the TSX that I have come to love so much.
