You guys are all wrong.. those aren't cups or shift knobs.. you put those over your eyes to get the appearance of going light speed like the USS Enterprise.. Wooosh... "Hey Ma, I can see the future"

No- individual dealerships may give out gifts, though.
Santa Monica Acura in SoCal sends out gift baskets with chocolates, some gourmet foods and an "Acura" coffee mug several weeks after a purchase, for example.

I dunno, they just appeared in my mail box. Not sure if they are from the dealer or Acura corporate. Anyway, they are pretty nice. This is my 2nd Acura in 4 years. Maybe that has something to do with it

I bought 2 New Acuras in less than 3 years and no free gift for me.

Those glasses aren't bad! I received a gift from Acura too but it was a set of coffee mugs and I don't even drink coffee! I definitely would have rather had the glasses...still it's the thought that counts!

I got a coffee mug from Acura yesterday... Looks pretty nice and the best part is they said it was designed just for the tl`s can holder.... yeahhhh....

Btw I looked at the from Address on the box and it came from TX... N I live in PA. So I`m guessing its from Acura Marketing....

I got My TLS at the end of April 08
