Turning Radius
Is anyone able to get some comparisons on turning radius for the TL against other cars?
My Boss's C320 has an awesome turning radius because the front wheels actually tilt when you turn - I guess this is only possible with RWD, though. I don't expect the TL to be too comparable.

My Mazda MX6 could make incredible tight turns - almost tore of the bumper with the TL - not near as small of a radius...but she looks 100x better - so everything in life is a tradeoff.

FWD cars must have a smaller steering angles since the "joints" can only go so far. Furthermore at large steering angles torque steer is a problem, the steering wheel will not "center" after a turn. Compromises, compromises.
