Helpp opinions

I want to get an 08 TL-S and i went to the dealership today and told them i wanted a 6-speed KBP and he said 99 percent sure thats not happening so i said ok find me a 6-speed in any color and they said that there was no more 6-speed anywhere and i would have to get Auto and that there is no Auto KBP TL-S around either... could this really be true? i mean i know that they stopped making the 08's but thats ridiculous and the last thing is what colors look best in everyones opinions on the 08 TL-S
Thanks,

Yeah it is extremely hard to find a KBP TL....that color is . Probably the best looking color on the TYpe S. To make it even more difficult you want a 6spd?! oMg good luck with that. If anything be smart and go for the ASM and join the family....




remember a family that mods together stay together

This late in the MY, be prepared to compromise on color selections. Just the way it is.

There are 6 speeds around, but not too many. You may have to seach a b igger radius to turn up a few.

I have to agreed with your dealer. KBP with 6spd is impossible to get now. I got mine around end of april and they had a hard time locating an auto with black interior. I had to go to another dealership with several quotes to get an KBP. All I can say KBP is a very HOT color!

I doubt it unless both dealership is own by the same owner. They have a database that shows what kind of inventory all the dealership have. If your current dealer gives you a better price, have them put in writing and bring that price to the other dealer who has the KBP to get it pricematched.

DO NOT GET THE TL-S thats a bad choice. Get an 08 G35 it's so much faster then tl-s. And u can get an g35S that as 6speed manual.VQ35 ROCKS

This is what I quoted in another thread where you had almost the same exact response.

Man this interior center console is all cheap and plastic, still no push start. I think the 08 tl will be my last acura. I think im gunna get an infitini.
Since then EVERY post has been bashing acura and saying infiniti is better.

The KBP -S is very hard to find new. I have seen a few '07 for sale in the MD area, but no '08. Besides my car, I've only seen 1 other KBP in my area. He was on the highway behind me. I had to give him the thumbs up out the window. He felt the love, so he flashed me.

If my car was considered totalled, I would have got the same exact car, but I see that will be harder than I thought. Fortunately, there's only $8,500 of damage, so they will repair it. I just hope it runs the same.
