Cool beans :-) I still have dreams of a G35 coupe though :-( I live in Minnesota and couldn't pull the trigger on rear-wheel drive...

Hah, move to VA, I've got both (TL and G35C). You're right though, the car is beyond miserable in the white stuff. Shoot, it stinks even in cold weather, particularly with the stock tires.

Part of the reason I got the TL - better for winter use!

Yeah. FreshAlloy has some pics and info on the new sedan. It's more of an M from the front, with cues from the coupe in the rear. It appears wider as well. I like it overall, but I'm getting old, so....

Not to mention it has 40+ more horsepower than the TL Acura has got to go AWD to compete now.

I have the 03 G35 and am for sure getting the 07, it is a hella nice car, Unless TL comes out with AWD, I do like the looks of the TL still better, and I am sure a Type-S will come out with a new body kit, but time will tell, got about five months till all the information on both cars comes out

I like the current G35, and the next gen looks VERY promising.

I think the problem with the TL (as always with Hondas) is the low-midrange torque. Around town, it just doesn't have enough get up and go. On the highway, it always requires a downshift, though that isn't so bad. I'm not crazy about having to drive my car as if I just stole it (stay within the high RPM range) just to get some power out of it. It's a delicate balance for sure, MPG/Torque/HP.

I also have a 03 Red G35 and a Black 04 TL and love them both but I had the TL first so Im partial to it, also I still love the blue gages, I seen the new ones and I dont care for the red gages and red light that shines down. The G35 C is sweet, at times I think the exhaust noise is a bit loud but the rear of that car looks beautiful. My wife ask me a dumb question when we first go the G35C, "Where is the bumpers, I dont see bumpers on our car" NO CLUE
