Sorry for all you ricers out there, but it is a fact.

Why do you say it's Ford of Europe?
With ride-height-adjustable suspension, 310-hp V8, awesome interior, good-looking exterior coupled with good fit and finish, I think it'll be a great car. My pops can save at least a few thousand dollars if he bought a GM car, because he has a lot of GM card earnings. But he's opting for the Toureg, or the MDX. He has a Tahoe right now, and he's not exactly happy with it.

To TL loyalists - no matter what,
I simply said my car had squeaks, transmission failed and things popped off. Give a suggestion on how to explain similar problems to other members and not get lit up by flamers.

Now about the flaming, saying things like "There are major quality control problems with the TL" and calling us "ricers" (that one wasn't you) is generalizing all Acura owners and opens you up to a flame. You are entitled to your opinion, but don't expect all of us to agree with you.
If you have a problem, stating what it is and adding comments amounting to "these are cr@ppy cars" and the owners are "ricers" will get you flamed every time. Simply state what you have wrong, and ask. Many of us are willing to help.
If you are that displeased, the place to be speaking with is Acura headquarters or your consumer affairs agency, possibly to begin a lemon-law proceeding with your vehicle. Good luck.

Good point TL-S Man. It's good to post flaws whether we are happy or not with Acura. That way we can all see if it's a freak occurence or something that is quite common with the TL. As for the moonroof, it's not just a freak occurence it's definitely a general TL flaw.
Personally, I can live with the minor flaws my TL-S has. I love the TL-S interior, the styling, the HP, and the smooth powertrain. Now that Acura is covering the transmission problems I'm not worried.
As for all cars having flaws - either cosmetic or mechanical, I haven't encountered a car YET that didn't at least have some sort of minor flaw. My previous Nissan Altima had a problem with water leaking into the trunk, my current 93 Mustang had only a couple cosmetic problems and a door lock actuator fail, that's it.
.. and finally, my previous 98 Ford Explorer had MANY problems - at $30K you wouldn't expect to constantly have a wheel balance problem or a stalling problem would you? And I could only get $17K out of it three years after I purchased it. Talk about horrible resale value.
