Yea I mean as a 3Ger I'm pretty happy with the TLX. It's an evolution from our car not the 4G. Really it's everything we asked for...a generation late.

But it's just not a big enough leap in power.

I buy cars solely on how big of a boner I get when I see them...


not "engine size" or "MPGees" or "safety"...

did the diy relays that gerzand put together...passenger side never worked well even after rebuilding them. this is a proven mod that comes ready to install and protected from the elements...

some stuff is worth paying for.

Well we all buy things for different reasons. But I agree with you for the most part.

Saw a 4G Prelude, got boner, had to have.
Saw a 3G TL, got boner, had to have.
Saw a S5, precummed, will have.

But really in 2015 lots of cars are pretty bonerific. So it comes down to tech and power. MPG doesn't really come into the equation for me personally.

There's enough PS issues in the 3G TL to give you a boner then. Like 1 out of 2 people needs a rebuild or something.

I rebuilt my power steering pump for $8.
Well, replaced o-rings that were leaking, it was still pumping as designed.

I'll admit the 5G TLX is growing on me, but not enough to get me to buy one.

How sad is it thou that I still see WAY more 3G TLs on the road than 4G and 5G combined?

I'm starting to see TLXs fairly often around here. There is a black one in our garage that I've inspected over and over and over. I'm just not sold on the jewel headlights.

I had one try to race me last night. White, full lip kit, different looking wheels, very dark tint. It looked hot. It was too dense of traffic for me to play though.

Yea I do see more TLXs now too. But still not as many as the 3G. I still see TONS of those on the road.

The 4G I see maybe once every 3 months
