Just got my TL a couple days ago, and got a chance to do some extended freeway driving tonight. I have been trying to take it easy etc, but with 150 miles, I still couldn't resist cruising the left lane. 90-95mph is nothing in this car, barely turning any revs, very smooth, was hard to keep it in the 75 to 80 range. I can't wait to get a few more miles on this sucker!
Regards,

 

Nice. I go to the dealer on Monday to see if I can get a good deal on an anthracite 6 spd non-navi.

 

Indeed it is.

 

Watch your passing speed.

I can remember the adventures in passing from my last car - pathfinder. Now, I'm still in the habit of trying to get around the object cars as fast as I can and often find my speedo over 100 - heat of the battle. The car is so smooth that I just don't feel like the car is going that fast. Surpising, pleasantly surprising.

 

yes surprising but enjoyable.

 

i also just got back form a 250+ mile trip (cerritos to coronado and back) i managed to get to coronado in 1 hour and 10 min...was cruising the left lane at 90-95 mph....and man this car is so freaking SMOOOOOTH......i didn't even feel tired after driving this long....i remember driving my friends 530i and it felt the same....it's just that the TL feels lighter....the heated seats scored really big points for me as they helped relax my back muscles....
