I am in Canada and we can either get the Navi package or the Dynamic package. The D package has the 6MT, summer tires, better brakes etc. We cannot get Navi oin the standard!!
So I leaning toward the 6MT but I really would like a toy like the Navi. The price between the two packages is about $2,200Cdn. I guess I can go with the auto and sportshift.

Another thing, we don't get fog lights for the TL. You folks in the US do? It's no an option for the TL, and an option for the TSX.

 

the 2005s are coming out in canada in the next month or 2 and my dealer told me they are going to have a manual with the navi package available. if i was u i would wait alittle longer, just like me

 

Wait for the 2005 model for both if it is that important to you.

I went with the Dynamic package. I couldn't stand driving an auto...

 

But I think there would be a price increase across the board. So if the Navi is at $44000, add the 6MT, and the 05 price increase and we might be looking at $48000??

 

I went with the dynamic package as well. I thought I'd have more fun driving the car rather than just steer it.

 

Just run down to the US and buy it there and drive it back. You NEED both. No compromises!!

 

Yeah, in Canada if you get the 6MT, you have to get the Ebony interior. Exterior color would be white, black, grey, white. I think that's it.

 

I just picked up my 6 MT. The manual trans, better brakes, tires and suspension are a better choice than navi imho.

 

Wait for the Navi. I couldn't live without it now and the voice everything is unbelieveable.

 

You get DRLs in place of our fogs.

I agree with William_B. If it were to come down to Nav or manual, there would be no hesitation on my part. I would never even consider the purchase of a personal car with an automatic. Hope the make the change for you Canadians in '05 so you can have both... like I do.

 

dude- definitely wait for the 05. navi is a must......i'd opt for a 5AT- but that's just me....patience pays off at the end....kinda like women...

If 6spd is important to you, wait for 2005. You can get both. I pick Navi becasue I don't think 6spd is a big deal especially in Vancouver. Even if you get the stick shift, TL is still not very sporty compare to G35C or 330.
