I got a pen and a key chain. The salesman gave us the old "leather" case because it came with the pen and the key chain. He also gave us the new case (closes with a magnet instead of a zipper), which had a place for a pen, but one didn't come with it. The key chain has the Roadside Assistance number on the back which could be helpful. Did you at least get the key chain?

No pen, no keychain. Called the next day and told me to come back for my cookies. Got a pen and key chain with my 2002 MDX though. Did get a cheap folding pen @ the launch for the RL.

I received a space pen in the mail 3weeks after I bought my TL. I also received a Acura umbrella at the time I picked up my car. The pen is very nice and heavy and suppose to write in any condition such as writing under water. My buddy that bought a TL 4 months ago received one too. I think these pens are worth at least $50 bucks or more.

I got a pen about 3 weeks after I bought my TL. It says it writes under water but I'm wondering what kind of paper works under water.

I also didn't get the demo DVD-A when I picked up the car. But then I wrote an email to ELS to ask them why they didn't put an AUX port on the head unit and why doesn't the head unit play MP3s. They wrote back saying "blah blah blah, and we're sending you a DVD-A". A few days later, I received REM - Automatic for the People and the Acura Demo DVD-A in the mail.

If you didn't get a free Acura Umbrella , it would be wise to call up Acura corporate and complain.

I didn't get a free pen, but will be calling them first thing Monday morning!


What other freebies have been given out???

Jerky, it's the Demo disc and it explains the functions of the ELS and HFL along with some musical tracks that highlight the 5.1 surround sound sys. It has artists like Donald Fagen, America, Grover Washington and has a wide genre of music.

must be a canadian thing. I got the 2 DVD's plus a pen in the mail this week. Another unexpected christmas present. The dealer also gave me a couple of unbrellas (we live in Vancouver BC). If you live in the east, I expect you get a window scraper or a touque.

Got a space pen

I got a pen in the mail from Acura Canada, not the dealer. Didn't get anything from the dealer. I got the sample DVD-A discs (1 English, 1 French) with the Owner's Manual from the dealer, but that comes with the car.

bah, i only received the dvd-a disc AND a cheap bic pen from the dealership with the continental acura logo on it.

however, i'm curious to see what the pen and umbrella look like.

anyone here buy their car from continental acura and receive either the pen or umbrella, or both?
