After waiting for several weeks from the time I signed the papers for a TL Type S, I can pick it up tommorow at high noon. Black on Black; and I got to touch it today....All I can say is the three months of decision making, the month of haggling and the one month of waiting were excrutiating. Reminded me of my first car (1971 Datsun 240Z) on several levels. I may be 40, but I feel like a kid!

 

Congrats! If you think you feel like a kid now, just wait until you get behind the wheel !!!

 

Congrats.. Black/Black is soo nice.. Just watch the speedometer..

can't wait til I'm able to talk about my new car like that again.. maybe in 2003..

btw, you are from Canada, but you have a SocalTypeS avatar.. isn't that kinda strange?

 

Congrats.

Edub: Funny you should mention the speedo. I took a nice drive (solo) through the country yesterday evening. It's my wife's car so I get limited opportunities driving. I was enjoying myself going through the backroad twisties and finally looked down at the speedo. Wow! Just shy of 80mph. Speed limit was 45. Glad I didn't get caught.

Boy did the car feel good!

 

 

Congrats, <i>bonehead</i>!

Where did you end up making your purchase? The guy in Burlington wasn't that helpful nor was he willing to negotiate. I don't know many other dealerships in the horseshoe...

I was tempted to pick up a black model but my folks drive a black Volvo S70 and I didn't want to compete with them over colour. I like having a 'Type-S' exclusive colour to separate myself from the 'other TLs'... (Actually, there's a black Type-S here in Windsor but I haven't run into him/her <b>... yet ... </b>

- derrick

 

Do you have Eternal or Aegean Blue - if you have eternal, you really do have an exclusive?

 

Thanks for the comments! To the guy in California, sorry now I know what socal stands for. I just like the moving "s" To the guy in Windsor, I got it from the Acura Dealership in Hamilton. It is under new ownership and has the same owner as the Honda dealership I have been dealing with for 15 years. They have been good to me.

 

The very best of luck and ENJOY!!!

 

To the guy in Hamilton, Ontario..

Socal stands for Southern California..

It just threw me off when I saw it.. but hey, whatever you like is cool.. against white, it looks fine.

 

Congrats. I am a Canadian TL-S owner myself, living in SoCal. That car must get some attention in Canada. Enjoy!

 

Enjoy! My TLS is the most fun I've had since my 1975 Camaro - passing cars on winding back roads is ridiculously smooth and easy, and nothing turns heads like the roar from the engine when the peddle goes down :-)

 

Congrats, Hope to hear more from you in the future.....

 

Congrats & Goodluck!!!

Getting mine next week!!!!

 

Congrats - now take your new baby for a little cruise heading towards Buffalo....The thing I like best about Ontario is the fact that you folks drive fast, really fast - here in OH, just 30 miles across the lake, you just don't get smoked off the road when you're doing 90+mph (like I did by a whole string of folks driving on the 401)

In OH, 90+ will earn you a free ride to the joint...4 points on the license and high risk insurance

Enjoy!
