Funny. I've had my TL for three weeks now after driving my '96 Max 5MT for 10 yrs. Love the Acura and it's admittedly a better car, but the 4G Max is still full of win.

Welcome to TL ... on a side note, we did see some TL drivers op for Nizzan/Infiniti .. I guess it really depends on what the driver is looking for in his/her own preferences on perf. luxury & ammen. etc ....

Dunno about the 4G Maxima, every magazine and race drivers says it is possibly the worst DD (bad body roll, not "fast", lacks luxury, etc...)

Nonetheless, Welcome to AcuraZine!

Don't forget about the search button and the 3G TL garage!
