Getting better with age?

Maybe it's me, but I really think my '05 RL is actually running better now then when I first got it.

Just rolled over 40k kilometers (Canada!) and it really seems to be shifting smoother and that vibration that has been reporting in many posts does not seem to be there or as pronounced...???

Or maybe, I am just seeing the difference after just having driven a Sebring convertible in FLA for 10 days.

Anyone else with older 2nd gens noticing this?

If there's a way to make you appreciate your well made car, it's go drive an American made rental. My G/F is currently driving a Chevy Equinox while RDX shopping to replace her totaled 07. She hates it. It had 2500 miles, and it squeaks like it's loaded with mice.

I drove my 06 TL on a 3 day trip last week. When I got into my wifes 05 RL yesterday, I really appreciated the ride and comfort. After 21K, the RL does seem to run better then new.
