Even though I am an Acura owner, I'm not a big fan of the new TL-S... The GS400 is just big pimpin' and its more luxurious than a TL... It's kind of hard not to respect a GS400 glidin' down the road ...

GS is nice, but is it fair to compare a fully loaded TL $30k vs a loaded GS $47k?

My typos are getting worse by the hour.

In sheer speed and power, the GS400 will kick our ass, no offense.

Even though I love my TL, if I had the money I would choose the GS400 too.

You're not a big fan of the TL-S, so you start comparing it to a GS 400. Good one. By the way, you're right that it's more luxurious, but you also forgot to mention that its about $17,000 more expensive. It had better be more luxurious and "big pimpin" than the TL-S. If the GS 400 is your thing, why are you here? Just go buy one and get over it. As for me, I would be happy with a TL-S. I don't think I would ever spend more than $35 K on a car. There are definitely better ways to spend or invest that money. I am sick of seeing people and their multiple luxury cars that they drive, not because they need it, but because it shows off their status. I also know people who are incredibly rich but drive one nice car and don't give a $hit about showing off. I want to be one of them.

why not compare it to a GS430? also, the GS400 will run down the 1/4 in about 14.3...its truly an unfair comparison. v8 vs v6, also, the class factor. gs400 is higher in class than a TL would be.

Vandy, are you getting smart ??? I was just giving my two cents... I think it is worth more than yours... I was just saying that the GS400 is better, that doesnt mean I dont belong here... Why don't you post some other dumb $hit and make your posts go up to 37...

Yo, why even bother spend that much money for a ACURA?? For a person like u, u should drive a TOYOTA ECHO. (damn, even that's too expensive.. hrm... how about ride a bike) Then u will prove ur point really well.. a rice person and don't give a shit about showing off. I think GS are nice too.. damn, i think Lamborghini are even nicer. That does not mean I don't belong here. Do u really belong here? Who set up this rule of who belongs where? So, next time, respect other people's opinion.
(i don't think peopel would wanna wanna show off their GS or whatever... c'mon. People in a riced up civic shows off okay... damn)
