Toyota sucks big time, and poor service. The 2 things I am talking about are performance and fuel consumption. a four-banger toyota would consume equal or more than a 6 cylinders honda/acura. a 6 cylinders camry can only comparable to a 4 cylinders honda, speed wise. fuel consumption is BAD in toyota/Lexus. If you want a quiet ride, comfortable, then get Lexus. Other than that, honda/acura is better in every angle. Reliability, I think they are about the same, one way or the other. I believe Lexus does have better services than acura, and do treat customers better. Acura is still behind with their services. That implies warranty services and customer services. Honda services is not any better than toyota. So, if you like to compare, it should be toyota vs honda, and lexus vs. acura. mixing it up is not comparable. In any case, you gotta be cautious when taking your can in for services that I was once thought dealers are peace of mind place to have your car serviced.

I chose the TL because it was my personal preference in appearance and had everything I was looking for... But is sure is nice having such a big selection to chose from!
It's a good time for all of us when the market segment is so competitive!!! All manufacturer's are forced to work harder and deliver better products!

go file you social security you old bitch dont talk shit about what I do Ive tried to be nice and I did everything I could to make you understand my reasoning. You need a camry for when you move to a retirement community. Just do me a favor and talk about cars on here and not what people do. I hope that someday maybe when you are 50 which is only a little while away that you might mature enough to not insult someones means of living. Im young and successful. I could buy a new TL of a new camry but whatever I do I hope I never have to deal with you again because your lack of maturity for you age has really disgusted me. You even made remarks about my spelling when you have made spelling mistakes as well. You are old why dont you grow up.

LOOK GRANDPA Your lack of maturity for your age is fine with me. I just dont think you are quite mature enough for a camry. I guess you kept making reference to the 70s and toyota, is because that is what your you remember when you were like 30 or something. What were you doing when you were 22 because from the way you talk now it seems like you were probably doing someones lawn work still, or maybe you were bagging groceries. I dont know, You still havent even told me what you do yet. Is it because you are embarrassed? Are you having problems with that TL because you dont take care of it? Are you too immature for it? Possibly. It sounds to me like you are the perfect candidate for a camry. Im gonna take my nap now and sleep good knowing that you are going to die before I do.

Wow I should have clicked on this thread much earlier, very entertaining.
hotboyindaacura, how many toyotas have you owned. your love for acura might cloud you vision and make you slightly biased toward one brand. i love my acura, but i do give thumbs up to toyota for their quality. ive been a mechanic for the better part of 6 years now and ive done a lot of work on a lot of different cars. im not going to state any facts based upon my observations, but i disagree with you on Toyotas quality record.
Also, PLEASE use paragraphs when you type, it makes it much easier to read.

Holy Shit!
This thread is getting better than the kid's who tried to pawn a damaged BMW off on a Toyota dealer!
I've read through this thing twice now, and IMHO, me thinks Jr. is getting a little steamed.
Great point made about the Internet Manager of an Acura dealer spending all of this time on an Internet board. One would hope his other correspondence is a little more professional; i.e. grammar, spelling, sentence structure! Sorry man, you got a lot more problems than the occaisonal misspelled word.
It wouldn't be hard to e mail all the Acura dealerships in Jacksonville and list the link to Jr.'s playground. If he worked for me, I'd do an immediate check on his resumé to verify he graduated from jr. high.

Anyone else notice that our hero has fallen silent since the mention of the link being e mailed to the the Jacksonville area dealerships?
He was incredibly unprofessional, assuming he really was the internet sales manager.

Jeez, why do you always have to attack ppls grammer and spelling, as long as we get out points through. man, this is no english class.
