Yeah but that 39,995 is with a lot of worthless (albeit nice) shit! bodykit and spoiler on the current TLS is about ~1200-1500. 18s (espcially from a dealer) can get expensive too. I'm sure it had the brembos. A similar equipped TLS w/out navi would probably run you mid thirties. Not to mention that the 39995 is the asking price and we now in a few months that it won't hold.

Oh and as much as I like the A4, its nothing special. I'd still pick a TL over the current A4. Unless you plan to drop another 8-10k to make the car look good and go fast.

nope, no brembos, the a-specs weren't in yet.

I guess you just don't get it . . . some of us need 4 doors, trunk room, decent back seat, etc.

So the 4dr Audi and GS just didn't do it for me . . . even you you think they are made of gold . . . maybe it's fools gold that's got your eye. :P

fuck that expensive! but the exterior is a lot hotter than I thought it would be. especially with gun metal 18s.

talked to a salesman for a while.. (uhh ohh), he was pretty cool. hes gonna send an invitation to the tl test drive on the 22nd. he said there would be 6 cars to drive, and a few more on the showroom floor. 6 speeds wont get here for another month as everyone already knows.

The interior was off the chain. Can't wait to drive it.
i saw that same one at david mcdavid on saturday. i had a few mintues to stop in on my way to the a haircut and they said they had just gotten them in on friday night. i liked it in the anthracite better than that loaded silver one they had. i'm not too crazy about that body kit and i don't think i like the grey 18" wheels. and i wish they would remove that groove going down the side of the car with those useless yellow lights in them.

but otherwise i REALLY like it. anthracite/ebony would be my choice.

This is not the best time to buy the new TL. You are not going to get much discount if any if you buy it now. Wait another six months or more, you will get the deal you want. You have been warned

P-Man, think you'll be able to make the TL test drive?

and I agree, anthratice/ebony is the best color combo, but I didn't see the anthracite one, only the silver. I actually like the 18s & side grooves with the lights in them, every guy is entitled to his opinion I guess.

Styling is subjective. My opinion is the new TL has better stylings both inside and outside. It has better proportion than CL and the old TL, way more sportier looking. As far as the mechanical parts, I guess there should not be much difference. But it seems to have the best navigation and sound systems. I sat in two, but haven't driven any.

The exhaust looks gay and the front is....eh, weak. I just like the interior. But I think this car would like real nice w/ some 19' rims.
