The 09+ TLs may have "proper VTEC" but then you have to look at an 09+ TL every day when you get in to your car... fuck they are awful compared to the 3G.

A local dealer rep brought a 2.3L Mustang to Cars & Coffee last weekend. The car itself is pretty nice, interior is fantastic, but... I got to rev it a bit and the sound is just not Mustang-y at all. I don't care if they get 700 hp out of that little 4-cylinder, it doesn't sound right.

Reliability issues I believe? I remember hearing about the Accords and Odysseys or something.

Agreed. My friend Jeremy had an AP2 and that stuff was nice, would love to own that car eventually. I've heard some people say it was the nicest Honda they ever owned, if not the nicest car they ever owned.
He was the epitome of a douchebag though with his S2000 in the summer and his TJ in the winter. Started with one of these little riced up Integras, got buff in the gym, joined the firefighters... yeah.

I looked at the 4G TLs and while it's a nice car there's not the same charm to it. It feels very much like any other "fully loaded" sedan, doesn't have that thing that wows me. Also my GF says it has a beak in the front and she doesn't like that.


If I got a Mustang, I'd sure as heck want a V8 in it, for the sound. My dad bought a V6 convertible with SS magnaflow exhaust all the way and various mods and while he touts it sounds great it still sounds like a cheaply souped up V6 Mustang. Plus it's yellow...

I'm starting to worry about his masculinity.

Majofo

I think polobunny needs to take one for the team.. being a newbie and all.. or Jake, but I heard he has size standards.

Hey; it all feels the same in the dark anyway!

I like my steak medium and juicy with extra seasoning.

S2000 vtec was definitely obvious but it basically went from no torque to a little torque...

Great driving car though, that's for sure.

No, the EP suffered from being fkng slow.

Jamie's 08 TL

The 4G does have a beak. And, the biggest turn off imo is the ass. The back of the 3G is one of it's best cosmetic features.

Majofo

you guys sure know how to kill a boner

Majofo

Maybe I should rephrase that to.. make a boner disappear.

Saw a matte red with flat black accented CL63 AMG coming up from san antone last night.. looked great.. as I passed him going 90 in the MDX.

I've been seeing a lot of pre-owned AMGs for (comparitively) short change lately. Do these things not hold their value?

I don't think I'd ever buy a pre-owned AMG but I did see a CLS63 (forget what year) that was tempting

Majofo

They never hold their value. They're not bad to own though. Some oil leaks through valve covers and whatnot.. biggest thing to look out for are the ones under boost or air ride suspension. The air ride suspension variants are prone to failure after x years and OE components are expensive, so plan on doing aftermarket setup if available. I think the NA 63 AMGs are great. I'd love to have one in the garage.

owned for 3 or 4 years then traded.

who wants a german car after warranty?

Majofo

Also.. they're tire shredders.

Franchise1124

Not I.

I'll stick to my affordable Acura. Almost 130k on the clock and still runs like the day I brought her home

Maybe when I grow up, I'll buy a big boy toy for the weekend though.

Yumcha

Boys. It's VTEC yo. You need to have the "yo" after saying VTEC (yo). Gosh.

Yumcha

And Justin, happy belated b-day.

Early!

polobunny

Everybody and their dog is dead scared of the air ride suspension and associated costs. They can make one of these a real money pit.

If it's good though, it's perfectly fine to have a second hand one if you take care of it. Once they lost most of their value, they steady and you can own one and flip it.

Yumcha

It's tomorrow!



Nevermind. I'm always a bit of a e-premature ejaculator.

Thanks!


and its always great to have one of those around, a pre-ejaculator.

polobunny

So...

Window deflectors or not? I think they're ugly.

Flame on.

Jamie's 08 TL

Black on black looks good. Otherwise, no.

polobunny

Ah not even. Can't deal with any of them on any car. It always looks out of place.

wil5on0701

A whole pile of nopes on window deflectors.

wil5on0701

On the TL that is... I have seen some cars where they look ok. They look decent on my buddy's WRX hatch.

Jamie's 08 TL

J's car looks great! But, I agree with y'all. I'm not a big fan of them either.

Jamie's 08 TL

Back to Mercedes.. If I bought one, it would have to be brand new and financed for 5 years. They're warranty is 5 years/unlimited miles! As soon as I paid it off, I'd trade it in.

TacoBello

Didn't the 07-08 TL-S have "proper" VTEC yo?

Sorry, I meant v-tech, VTech, vteck, vtek, v-tek, vtak, vtak-lol...

TacoBello

And after five years, you'd be getting $34.50 for it towards another car...

TacoBello

I can't wait for some crab salad tomorrow- there's no better way to celebrate!!
