123456SPEED

Nice ride. Nothing that groundbreaking from my CLS 6-speed in terms of engine, shifter etc. Cabin is more isolated from the engine etc. and the clutch is a little smoother. One weird thing is the horn honks just as loud inside the car as outside. I guess they did that for feedback and safety. On my CL the horn is isolated some from the interior. I liked the stereo and XM radio.
I wouldn't buy a TL to replace my CL 6 speed but I would buy it over the 01-03 TL. If I wanted a 4 door I would consider it strongly.

YEah I have seen it to, didn't drive one, but I can say that it's a mean car, but I'll stick with my coupe. 4 doors not for me, maybe in a few years!

I thought it felt faster than the CL 6spd. maybe it just me.

I like it (looks, haven't driven one yet) but will hold onto my TL for a few more years. Unfortunately if I go back to school I may never own the new TL.

The new TL does look great but not enough to go from a CL to the 4 doors.

Might have been faster, definitely tighter transitions between gas/clutch/engine, but again nothing that ground-breaking from the CL 6 speed IMO. Brakes were strong but were abrupt, that is they engaged harshly, not smooth.
Didn't like the saddle? brown seat color.
Very nice car overall, best 4 door Acura has offered IMHO.
