Saw my first Tl S on the road (apart from me)
Gave a big wave and got one back !! maybe TL S owners are more polite!!
(re the earlier threads about Tl drivers being rude!)
Also has anybody seen a 07 G35 on the road yet...??
I amazed that I havent seen one yet??

I got my WDP TL-S about 3 weeks ago. I drive on 101 and 280 quite often. Other than my own TL-S, I have not seen another one here in the SF Bay area. Where yall at?

I seen a WDP Type S in Cupertino. Really nice color for the Type S
I seen the 07 G35 couple of times around my area, the exhaust note on that thing is crazy nice! Very refined note, Infiniti really did their homework on the exhaust sound. Acura should do the same, to put more effort and dedication to their cars.

I only saw one at the service center when I went to get regular maintenance done. Some dude had gotten it as a loaner! However, I did see an '07 TL-P on the way to work yesterday.

I saw one yesterday ( silver). Guy lives on the next block from me. I only recognized it as I was walking the dog by the rear exhaust. I like the look of the car, but I do not like those gun metal rims, they should have something a little jazzier.

The a-spec kit on the 07 TL-S looks good, but I think they could have done better with the front bumper part of the kit, I don't really like the way it looks. I personally like the RonJon kit better.

I live in Ft lauderdale/maimi area and have yet to see a TL-S on the road other than a test drive that came out of the dealer. Here down south you see every car under the sun and have not seen a type s yet. My salesman did tell me they sold 8 so far. I've yet to see a 07 g35.

I spotted my first AND second Type-S on the road today.
First one was a Carbon Bronze heading north on I-5 near Clairemont.
Second one was a Kinetic Blue near Sports Chalet at UTC Mall in La Jolla.
I definitely did a double take and looked for the badge to confirm.

already raced against a 07 TL-S, it's a very impressive looking car!
but 2007 G35 doesn't do it for me, it looks the same still... I've seen a few of them already on the road.

and its weird i sort of like have a hidden treasure...its like when i had my SHO and would pull into the oil change place. everyone thought it was a taurus until they popped the hood(I still say the best looking engine EVER!!) when they popped it they called everyone from down below and everywhere to look at it. was a cool feeling

In the areas I go, cars get a lot of attention while some more then others. In these areas, they like to pry them off. I am actually doing it as preventive maintenance. I don't need unwanted scratches because some a**hole decided my emblem would look better on his Kia...

Saw my first one last night in the Folsom, CA area (near Sacramento). I pulled up alongside it at a stoplight. Since it was very dark outside, the first thing I noticed that told me it was a TL-S was the red climate control/radio display above the Navi. It REALLY stood out. Then I looked over the car and saw all the other features (rims, taillights, etc.). But I gotta say, the red dashlights really overwhelm the interior in my opinion. Don't like it at all. But otherwise the car was nice and I was longing to take it for a spin, just to see how different it feels to drive.

Have you ever notice that when you get a new car you start seeing them all over the freaken place but you know what it’s a trip I got my 07 TL-S late November and I have not seen one in Ventura County, I have even driven out into L.A. and still not seen one yet, seen a lot of TL but not any TL-S’s.

So i finally see a TL-S besides mine on the highway a few days ago and of all days i was in my dads Ram SRT 
. It just didnt seem fun to give it a go since they really arent in the same class what so ever. It would have been nice to taunt eachother a bit if i was driving mine. Oh well theres always next time
