Nothing beats buying a used 2004 TL for $9K and driving a $50K MDX loaner
Bought an 04 TL with 138K on her for $8,700 a couple months ago... took her into the dealer for a couple minor recalls, and this was my $45K ride yesterday with 200 miles on her
I decided to get my alignment and balance done tomorrow, so I got to keep a loaner for another day, and I asked if I could try another one... so I got this $55K ride today with 200 miles on her

Same here, they wouldn't give me anything either and there service department is garbage. Gave me some puny excuse about some aftermarket item and that voided all warranty work. *cough cough rallye acura service deparment sucks dick cough cough*
I go to valley stream acura for warranty service on my car. They didnt give me any excuses. Still no loaner though so I ended up waiting in their waiting room area which is really nice and way better than rallye's.
And DAMNNNNN 200 MILES ON BOTH? WHERE YOU LIVE AT MAN?
edit: I work valet part time. For 55K you must have gotten the mdx with all the options, that thing is SWEET. Havent driven the 2012 TL though but my boy has an 09 TL with tech package and it is indeed very nice.

Nice, can't get that kind of service experience around here, that's for sure.
What's your impression of the newer rides, be it the new TL or MDX?
Just curious how they compare. Btw, congrats on the car and welcome to 3G

Thats awesome. yea i live in Atlanta too, the Acura I take mine to is Acura carland in Duluth, when i dropped my car off a couple weeks ago to get some things looked at they put me in a brand TL. Not a huge fan of the body style but those cars are nice inside.

Wow awesome dealer you got! Don't feel bad spending only $160. I used to think like that when my car was in for service and spent mostly around $200. But now I don't, knowing the stealerships will always have something up their sleeves. but none the less nice loaner!

A few weeks back I dropped my 06 for warranty work and requested a loaner. Was expecting their CSX with dealership logos like normal but was greeted by '10 TL. It was a very pleasant surprise.

That's the first picture of the 2012 TL that I've seen. Am I the only one who thinks they look a little too much like this?:

Both cars are nice.
The TL didn't "awe" me, and the MDX has a couple bad blind spots, specifically the driver's side. I had to take all of the headrests off to feel semi comfortable.
I prefer the 3G TL body AND interior. It had a few little improvements here and there, like storage and the USB input, but seemed to lack the luxury of a BMW or Mercedes. I'm pretty confident KIA makes cars with equal or more fancy gadgets for $10K less.
Overall, I'm tired and this review sucks. Bottom line, I wish I had a brand new 3G TL-S.

Haha, thanks, I actually like your review-nice, short and to the point. Good job! Give me a new 3G too.
I tell ya, Kia's come a long way, I actually like some of their cars now. Can't say the same about Acura, I'm not feeling the new line up at all. Honda's ugly and appliance-like nowadays too
