Sorry 4th Gen

Got a loaner while they fix the PS recall.

drove it around maybe 30 miles, 20 on highway the rest city.

the interior looks great on photos, not as classy as 3rd gen

not going to even say anything about exterior I spent 5 minutes up close looking and even touching it. I DON'T LIKE IT.

The drive is good its a TL feels a bit more powerful

well Im glad I went for the 3rd gen and couldnt afford to get the brand new one since I did a sign&drive with the 3rd gen

oh well hope they hurry the hell up I want my baby back.

I really like the 4G car, especially with stick and AWD. However, I recently bought a used 07 because I personally couldn't justify spending $10-$15k more for a new vehicle.

yeah, i think the AWD, the added HP, and the cool new gizmos bring it up $15k, but is it worth it? meh...

nope, 3rd gen TL has that timeless look, a few mods next 3 or 5 years and will still be a CPD

Now if I bring my TL in for this recall I am assuming they can see if the car also has any other recall issues that might need to be addressed?

Did not like the exterior of the 4G either, that's why I went looking for 3G.

Too bad about the interior. Online, the interior looks great.
