Post Should I get a SUV and get rid of my TL???

What up guys, as some of you know I have the TL now and a 330Ci I just recently leased. In September my sister turns 17 so I'm thinking about giving her the TL, and getting maybe a Navigator or a Denali or something. If I give her the car, my parents are gonna help me out. The 330ci is leased and I'm payin for that, so with the new car I'd probably pay about 15g's and my parents the rest. Its either that or I buy a spoiler, rims, and hook up my TL alittle more and keep it and save the dough. Whatcha guys think?

Put your name down on a new M3.

with a 330ci it'd a waste to get a M3, with the weather in jersey its not a bad idea get a SUV plus I already have the cars I think its time I go back to a SUV. I missed driving them in the snow.

Talking

An SUV...AN SUV...say it ain't so....If you got the dough...get trhe truck and keep the TL...the TL in your sister's hands won't be the same as it was before you feel me? Man...if you have the choice...do the TL all the way with mods and Tv's. So when Mtv does a special on your crib you can show off the world's best TL (other than Snook) and promote Acura for all those cock suckers who didn't buy one the first time around and are now just catching on....lol Man just don't do it....

true that, never actually even thought of that, but if the price is right...


BTW what does everyone else think? keep the TL and hook it up or get something else?

Damn, I'm thinking about the same thing too. Get a SUV, upgrade to a TL-S, or keep my TL and get headers, SC, etc. If I were to get a SUV and money is not a problem, I would get the X5 4.4 no doubt. But since my budget is limited, I'm thinking of getting a used RX300 or a new Nissan Xterra. But I'm leaning towards the TL-S though, what do you guys think?

I say go for the SUV if you have a 330CI to go along with it. I like the new Escalade or a Denali. Then when it's nice out you take the BMW and when the weather is bad you take the SUV. Whatever you decide it's a nice situation to be in.

I got a Shepherd mix puppy the same weekend I got my 2002 TL. Now I'm thinking I should have considered the MDX. I'm going to test drive it Thursday. Why is no one recommending the MDX? Am I missing something?

nah i'm not gonna get the xterra or the seq, If I get it I'd want a luxo suv. I'm still contiplating the fact that if I don't get the SUV, the money I save I can hook up the TL lovely and have a car that stands out. BTW I'm not going to mess with the bimmer at all. well... maybe some rims but thats it

You only have to shell out $15k & your parents will take care of the rest for a Navigator?!?! I guess your talking used, or those are some COOL/CRAZY parents!!! My parents wouldn't buy me a pair of sneakers & a Acura sticker to stick on the shoe.

Me: I would do the MDX & save my $15k for mods & the complete audio/video package!!! The MDX has the best NAV & best gas milage.

well if i do get the SUV I wouldn't hook it up for awhile. It'd be stock for a bit cause i don't wanna waste all my money into it. Thats why its hard to decide and save the 15g's hook up the TL a bit, and wait till next year, sell the TL and get a better car or SUV.

Im all for the Coupe + SUV thing... thats the way too go.

But what is the price cap on what kinda SUV you want?

I mean... I can come up with a dozen dope trucks for you to try out.

Give us the max you wanna pay for the truck... or the max for the truck and the trucks toys.

And yes... I say get rid of the TL. You got a 99... bout time for something new.

If your gonna have a sedan AND a coupe the sedan needs to be BIG... like... S-Class big.

But... your the shit if you got a sports coupe and a pimpin truck.

i agree.

Its just too bad the MDX has that ugly "plood" all over the interior.

The MDX would be perfect if it got some nice wood... or at least LESS fake wood.

But the thing bout the X5... BIG ****ING PIMPIN.

Theres no doubt the X54.4 is this shit next to an MDX. (If your willing to drop the money)

But the thing about the X5... theres WAY too many of them on the road right now. Im sure the MDX will be like that soon too. But the X5 is outta control right now... everyone has one.
