02 Type S engine sounds really nice

I recently test drove the 07 G35. It did seem to pull harder than my Type S but the sound didn't do it for me.

I got back into my Acura and immediately was seduced by the beautiful sound.

If I NEEDED a car right now the G35X is a no brainer.

Haven't decided whether it's a worthwhile upgrade yet.

03 Type-S sounds better.

my sister just bought a '06 G35 and it might be a little faster than my type s but the TL handles much much better and is much more responsive. but soundwise, I thought the G35 sounded better.

People fail to realize the Acura TL or TL-S is more of a quality product for your money. AWD is nice but hoenstly I wouldn't trade my TL-S for anything. Well maybe an 07 S. lol

I looked at G35 quite a bit while looking for a new car but one test drive on the TL sold me out. I really don't like the look of the G35 at all. I'm a careful driver and rarely speed higher then 5 miles + posted, and flooring it seems to be left to the 4 banger kids. In my opinion, TL was more comfortable and definately quieter also it's LONGER which was very important to my dad who I needed to co-sign.

I'd love to stay in the Acura family but I'm tired of FWD.

Type S should have had SHAWD - I'd hit it.

Not a fan of the AWD Kris? I'd like to see Acura give the TL an AWD upgrade...maybe it's just me, but it would be nice.

Yeah I think it would be awesome if acura made a RWD coup with 6 speed and as much power as they can squeeze in there. It sucks they are not making RSX next year. Now all they have is SUVs and sedans. I would still love to get a 07TL-s.
