Question Leather document holder

Just curious if everyone got a nice leather document holder for their owner's manual.

The sales brochure said every new Acura comes with one but I only got a cheapo plastic folder to go with my 2000 TL. WTF???

Yup, I have it. But I didn't know it was leather. It's black... and it does smell like leather... so it must be leather! Included in it was an Acura Pen and Acura Keyholder too.

Yup got a leather one with pen and key chain. Just noticed it. I think Phi's right, must be an American thing. For those in Canada - Nah, Nah, Nah, Nah, Nah, Nah!

Just kidding guys!

My TL came with a black faux leather "day planner" type case for the owner's manual, warranty info and a small road atlas. Has the Acura pen and a small, rectangular flashlight where the beam swivels to turn on. I thought everyone got one of those?

I got the leather case, pen, and keychain too. But I also got a really cute 5'11" swimsuit model on the passenger seat. You guys didn't get that? That's strange...they told me everyone gets one of those here. Oh yeah...and I also got a free car care kit.

850EX,
I got mine from Richmond Acura. Where did you get yours? Did you also get the pen, keychain, etc.?

I don't care much about the pen, keychain stuff but I'm going to have to ask them what's up with that cheapo plastic folder!

Got same package.

But I saw they had Post-It note pads with the Acura logo on it. It had a sticker saying to place in car before delivery. There wasn't one in my car, so I took it.

I got a leatherette (vinyl) owner's manual holder with the flip-up light. The flip-up light died (not the batteries, the internals), and the metal keychain goes against what kind Acura recommends you to use with the chip-in-key security system.

Go figure.

I got the leather document holder... looks like a day planner. They also gave me 3 or 4 key chains but not the leather kind. Bought my car from Lougheed Acura. You should go ask them for it cuz every car comes with one... I think.

Speed,

Keychain is pretty cheap. LEather with dealership on it.

Pen is metal but not worth more than $5.

Umbrella is pretty good, but my strap for holding together while closed broke after second use.

Mmmm..

This message is for all the guys/gals in the Vancouver Area. I'm planning to purchase a 2002 TL-S and would appreciate it if someone would please post any information regarding the 2002 TL-S Canadian Models. If the changes are minute, the trip up north might be worth it. Thanks. Grumps.
