Unhappy "sigh"...won't be getting TL-S after all

well my stocks dropped like a B!tch last week...i was planning to trade in my TL for the TL-S but it seems that it won't be happening....

I've lost way too much money over the last 2 months, however like 9 months before that i did sell some stock to buy my TL ...heh at least i was able get a tl out of the whole thing..

Well, i'm very depressed, is there any hope of me getting a TL-S...everyday i think about how great the TL-S is ...the more i think about it the more i want to get up and just buy the damn car...i'm not saying that i'm a dirty poor guy...I can literally get up and sell my stock ( at a TOTAL loss) and get it with what ever stock i have left...

"sigh"

...just writing to let our some steam and depresion..

c'mon guys make me feel good!..tell me that the TL-S isn't worth it..do something..make the pain go away!

It sucks... they accidentally put IS300 seats in there... And new accord headrests in there... TL-S not original anymore... Acura copied off every car possible!! BMW style humps on headlight and bumper... To tell u da truth, i think the new front kinda looks like one of those ford and mercury cars... forgot which one? Contour? I'll try to get a pic... I aint gonna lie tho, acura copied our interior from a GS400 i think... the 3 circle gauges, the wood... Heh, there's more... but i think thas enuff
TLS owners, dont get mad please, just tryin to make the man happy

Reasons to get a TLS would be the stronger engine... wait for the supercharger!! Foglights... get some catz, piaas,etc. For koo "INSPIRE" tails... get them now at your dealer for about 350? 17 inch wheels... go get some racingharts or soemthing!!! Better handling... get some comptech and sways!!! Atleast your car will be lowered too... Am i right??

"I can literally get up and sell my stock ( at a TOTAL loss) and get it with what ever stock i have left..."

Go ahead. It's people like you that help start an economic recovery. Sell your stock at a loss, trade in a pefectly good car TL (less depreciated value) and buy a TL-s (at or around MSRP)?

I would have to agree that the new front end isn't exactly the most impressive thing I saw. But from some angles I guess it looks alright.

As for the reg TL's you can always get the Mugen Grill and some goodies to spice up your car..

hey memout, it's not worth it. The TL-S is nothing but a dressed up V-6 Accord with an extra cam.

The TL-S really does suck -- it's overpriced, underpowered.. handles like a Chevy Caprice, and looks like a mesh between the Mercury Sable and the Honda Civic! Ugh!! What was I thinking?? I'm planning on selling mine real soon:

$54,000.00 any takers?

just wait for Mugen to come out with a grill and no one will put down the TL-S grill anymore. but i must admit, it's not too appealing.

I can't lie and downgrade my 3.2 Type "S". I love the car and can't say anything to make you feel better about not owning one. Besides, for only $2,500 hundred bucks more over the regular model...you get more power, sporty leather, bigger tires, and the most important thing, the Type "S" logo on the gear shift knob. That in itself is worth it. Go trade that sucker in and get yourself what you really want.

I hoping Mugen comes out with new parts for the Inspire in 2002.

as for the rear spoiler it looks very nice and clean on the TL

I have a fully Mugen CRV and you can never go wrong w/having a mugen car...
