Any videos of the TL?

I was wondering if there were any videos of the TL in action?
I may be trading in my present car for a new TL and would like to see it in action before purchasing. I do plan on a test drive or two also.
My present car is a beauty but I need a year round one, with power.

Re: More videos...

Thanks, nickpoore & copter,

You guys have the great collections, especially that full version's MotorWeek video. (but TLs inside looks taller over that wmv file. copter's acuratl.mpeg makes TL lower and wider... IMO, it's more beautiful)

Still wonderful.

I have a video that someone shot of my driving the TL at the dealer Ride and Drive event. This was the 2nd best time for the day on the short (20 sec) autocross course. Unfortunately I have nowhere to host it. :hint:

The video is me driving the TL at the Ride and Drive introduction for Acura dealers. We got two tries at the track, and on the first try, I left the braking too late and ended out of the stop box, negating my run. That first run was in the 26s, but............ blah blah blah .....those are the rules and it didn't count. I ended up finishing second in this R & D out of 50 in the class and 100 on the day.

I felt like there were a lot of guys "hunting" for me this time cause in the RSX and TSX Ride & Drives I finished first both times. Guys were asking our manufacturers rep "if that guy from Hawaii was coming" again. I feel the love ;-) FWIW, the cars were automatics, and in my case the VSA was off and the car was in drive. In hindsight I should have put it in second to keep the car from shifting to 3rd in the straight, this cost me some time when the car had to dig into first.

Seems to be more body roll than I expected (though I know its AutoX).
