Question Mr. Hyde, I've yet to see an Aegean Blue TL-S in Los Angeles, anyone seen one yet?

What's the deal with that amazing aegean blue car? I've yet to see one on the streets of LA. Are they really that rare? They had one at Keyes Acura when I got mine, but thats the only one I've seen.

Anyone else think they're a rare sighting?

I saw one ABP on the road about 3 months ago... and that's it.

In the past 2 weeks I've seen probably 4 other TL-S... the most I've seen in such a short period.

I have seen only one in the Chicago area. It was driving through Wheeling a couple of weeks ago.

Well my neighbor just bought one, and some one else I know has one. Besides those two I have only seen two others on the road since I have had mine.

I have an Aegean Blue Type S and live in Thousand Oaks, CA. I was at Universal a lot with my girlfriend who lives nearby, and when I was there I saw another Aegean Blue TL Type S in the parking lot. It's the only other one I've seen on the road, though. When did you see the car in Studio City? I wonder if it was me..

I've had mine for about 5 months, and I bought it at Keyes Acura on Van Nuys. But I live in Oxnard, I hadn't seen one around not even a '02 TL-S. But I saw one about 3 days ago, but his is stock. Mine has mirror blue tint all the way around, blue indigo 'A' on the trunk, complete Polarg lighting inside and out, razo pedals, dual Hayame XT3 mufflers, AEM CAI w/ by-pass valve, and debaged of course. I just wanted mine to stick out a little bit.....And I'm 21-0, my last victim was tonight nothing special an IS300. There's a lot of those around here, that's cool. I like having them for breakfast... God Bless Acura!!

Cool

The only one I've seen is in my driveway, and the one they have at the dealer. I told em they were screwing me when they got another one. Two Aegean Blue TL-S in the same city! Thats not right! Oh well, I guess exclusivity costs more then 32k!

I picked up my ABP in May and I have yet to see another TL-S on the road anywhere. That includes extended travel into CT and a long vacation to Watkins Glen, NY. Main reason is probably because the nearest Acura dealer to my house is over an hour away. Of course, I reckon it won't be long now until I see Seqiro motoring around in his ABP, seeing as we're in the same town.

I've only seen 3 other TL-S' period since I bought mine in March. Two of them were in NY and the other one I saw in Wellesley, MA just this past Friday. Only the first TL-S I saw which was in May was on the road, the others were parked. I would expect to see many more by now especially since I do a lot of driving (I'm almost up to 10K miles). Maybe we're the only 2 people in Mass. with an ABP TL-S??
