Thanks caball88! Glad you're enjoying yours. (Rattle-free & no vibrations I hope?)
6mtV6 I ordered in February from Rallye in Roslyn. Had a delivery problem with my original order, but they made up for it and took some $$ off my cost.

its rattle and vibration free, but however it does feel a little notchy going from 1-2 and 2-3 gear. i dunno if this is because its brand new but the car i test drove did not feel like this.

That's pretty common when a car is new. As you drive it, you get some wear which makes it shift a LOT better. Don't give up on it yet <G>!

My dealer said I have an additional 2 to 3 weeks wait because of Acura's producing very few of my overall combination, mid April instead of late March. I called around and so did they to see if I could get it sooner. FUGGETTABOUTIT! If I wanted any of the more common colors (Anthracite, Black, Silver, etc), the same car with a 5AT, or the same car without Navi, I could have had it already. No more Green/Camel/6MT/ Navi's being delivered to any dealer until then.
My call to Acura customer service yesterday confirmed this combination to be amongst the rarest produced for the '04 TL. And so far, I don't think there are any on this forum. I might be the only one!

I hear you! I didn't even tell most of my friends because I can hardly believe it myself. But I got a call today from Rallye confirming the time I'm going to arrive tomorrow so everything will be ready for me. Nice touch.

Good for you not compromising on the color. I know it's tempting. I could have had a SSM/Ebony a few weeks ago but I had my heart set on Anthracite. Hang in there - good things are worth waiting for!
