We (they) need to wait until Acura beefs up the TL engine anyway for another comparison. 270 was great in 2004, but 300+ is the ticket in 2006.

When I was a kid at the start of the '70s, the Boss Mustangs, Z-28s and Hemis gave way to the Pinto, Vega and Pacer while the Toyota Corolla and Datsun B210s were ramping up. It took 20 years for the hi-po ponycars to come back, and 30 years for the hi output family cars to regain their performance.
Enjoy the TL and the horsepower while we've got it!

In 5 years??? Crap, I've been looking for cars with 400-500HP since I was old enough to drive.

Currently, not to many will handle the kids when needed and if do I can't justify the cost.. I would take the new M6 if they gave it to me for $50K.

Any comparison test needs to be taken with a grain of salt.
My take:

Essentially, drive the cars yourself. Other people are going to have different needs and priorities.
I'm working on a better way for people to sort out which car is best FOR THEM. The first step is a comparison survey, here:
