the navi is nice. i haven't used too many navis out there so i can't really compare but i know for sure that i like it better than benz's COMAND navi which is bit annoying to use.

i love both cars but i'm in love with the S4 right now. so much torque...
funny thing is is that i've had so many G35 coupes trying to race me. i've avoided many just because i did not want to gun it before break-in period but i've smoked one or two G35s and C class AMG.

only downside of it would be that it eats lotta freaking gas. sux i had to pay gas guzzler tax of about $1700.

Killer newborn! Just makes you want to imagine, just for fun...what if Acura did the same thing that Audi has done: Stuff a "fictional" Honda V8 in that TL and team it with all-wheel drive. And since there already is a Type-S, it'd be Type-RS.

thanks for all the comments.

i still have my TL-s and i love it.

yea the S4 is fast as hell...step on the gas and it doesn't seem to stop pulling.
however i feel like my TL takes off the line quicker... S4 is heavy as hell too...39050 lbs of curb weight.

i was actually shopping around for a regular A4 quattro but HBL Porsche and Audi dealer had this one at a price that i couldnt' refuse. so that's why i ended up with auto shifter tranny... it's got a neat paddle shifter too... hehehe

i'm probably going to keep the body kit on there forever. i might sell the rims and everything else later tho...maybe in couple of years.

TL-S is my beater for now.

Thats pretty sick man. I like that S4 you got there. Very classy and sporty. Its funny cuz, is it me or does it seem like more and more people are turning into German lovers cuz it seems to me like more and more people are SELLIN OUT and going for VW and AUDI. Alot of people say those fucken engines especially the Turbo ones run really good and pull hard. IDK, i could be wrong, maybe its just me. I have a bunch of friends who are all VW owners and Audi owners and im the odd ball in there with an ACURA TL. But shit, the TL does look sick though, sometimes i think the TL looks wayyy hotter then a Jetta GLI or GTI. Anyone feel the same about this whole thing??

In my humble opinion...

When the 2nd gen TL came out it was the hot car for the market segment...

Most aggressive looking, most HP, most standard features, Honda reliability(who would have guessed they built the tranny out of glass?) and so on...

So now other makers, Lexus(IS350), Infiniti(G and M series) have one uped Acura, just as Acura did to them. We will see if the 4th gen TL brings to the table?

As far as the German cars...BMW and Mercedes were always hot...VW and ESPECIALLY Audi are def. becoming more sporty and more marketable to the younger/tuner/performance oriented crowd. Audi is def. making more aggressive cars and people have noticed and bought them.



By the way, sick S4 man....love the interior and rear...something about their fronts just doesn't do it for me?

Anyway, great selection in the new car, thanks for sharing and enjoy!!!

as for the front end of the car...you either love it or hate it. i thought it was too radical for me when i first saw A8 (all their grilles look alike) but after seeing it few times it grew on me and looks different from traditional front end. to each his own.

there always have been audi and vw enthusiasts all over the world, if not longer than japanese car enthusiasts. I defin. am not selling out becuase i love my TL and most of hondas. I've owned maximas before but let's not get into that POS.
i'm just trying different flavors...if u know what i mean.

i maybe sleeping with the V8 340 hp german, but my ua5 will always be in my heart.


by the way...this bitch handles like there is no tomorrow

my TL is one sexy bitch, i tell u.

S4 has a sweet wide ass...hmmm just want to


i probably can't beat an M3 on the strip...but once on the highway it's a different story. car pulls hard on the highway. who knows...maybe maybe not...haven't tried it. i did have one stupid kid in a red M3 mess with me on I-95 near Philly. man i swear he thought he was so bad...weaving thru congest highway like that and turning on the hazards after 3 seconds. lil pussy....didn't even have the balls to see me on a straight way at least. i like to gun it once in a while but not to a point where it will endager many ppl including my new baby.

Yeah you are right about that. If anything, i just hope that acura doesnt make the 4th Gen TL similar in shape to the 3rd Gen cuz i really dont like the 3rd gen shape that much. Id take the 2nd Gen over the 3rd.

I like everything about the new gen S4 but not the tail lights. It reminds me of a 2006 Volkswagen Jetta.
