i know there has been a post about this topic but i gotta vent.....i live in northern nj and everytime i go onto interstate roads or highways, i see thousands and thousands of TLs....i mean literally everytime i turn my head, there's a TL....now i no TL is the best car for its money and all that stuff but still i just see too many of them...i donno why but everytime i see TLs i wanna trade in my car and get an RL or some other cars...i guess i want my car to be unique or something........now easy way to solve this problem would be to spend another $30000 on top of what i already spent....too bad im a student with no income!!!!!!!!! anyone else feel like me? or am i alone..........

 

I here that! I see at least 8 to and from work everyday.

 

i need money for rims, a-spec kit

 

yeah I see them all the time but they're just regular ol TL's. Hell it took me less than an hour after buying it to make it different from the rest you see. But yeah I do agree I see them everywhere.

 

Yes, there are many 3G TL's out there on the road.

But only about a couple of hundred nationally exactly like mine!

what mods did you do?

 

you notice it because you own the same car. It doesnt matter what car you get (besides and exotic), you're going to see the same car anywhere.

maybe its better if you stop looking around.

 

I see about 3 a week, and one of those is mine.

 

That's because there are lots of indians living up there.

 

Who cares if someone has the same car as you. I bet there are thousands of people with the same T-shirts and other clothes you wear. If it's sold at a reasonable price lots of people will buy it.

 

i see a couple a day but i don't mind. my car is different from there's anyway

just check out my sig, no other TL with the same exact mod as me. besides, most of the TL drivers you see are way older than you (no offense to the older owners ), doesn't that make you feel good. it does me

no need to spend another 30K. just do some little mods and your car won't be a stocked TL anymore and it won't bother you much. don't like your TL, heck i'll take it off your hands. i wouldn't mind 2 TLs in the garage. i love this car!



there's 2 other 3rd Gen TL at work and one is SSM just like mine. don't bother me a bit. i had the first 3rd Gen TL at work and i still get compliments from people when i get out of my car. just feel fortunate you have such a car for a "student with no income"

this was my graduation present for myself

 

Paint it pink or lime green or somthing!

 

i see atleast 15-20 on my way to school and its only a half hour drive!

 

start modding and you'll deff make your car unique like a lot of the TL's on this board.

 

Yop . . . I want to make mine unique, too. Only thing I've done so far was tinting the windows. Just saving money for A-Spec, rims, tires, suspension, and all the other mods the other TL owners in here have done to their cars. LOL Once those are all done, that's when I'll debadge.

 

Just drive with your eyes closed, silly.

 

lol!

 

if it were an NSX i'd understand your frustation. but it's tl. its affordable, looks nice & has great performance so of course a lot on people will purchase one.

 

Odd, I barely see any here in Chicago. (I see more m3's in a day than I do TL's)

With that said, make it an aspec and you wont see the same thing.

 

I am from Chicago also and I see at least 2 everyday. These are the same 2.
I am starting to wonder if they visit this board also.

 

I see a few but there are other cars I see a lot more of. There are tons of altimas on 20's on the road. They're everywhere. I think they multiply like roaches.

I've only seen 2 TL's with any mods outside of tinted windows so if you get some rims, your car will stand out instantly.

 

I agree wit you!
Altimas are like weeds they just keep sprouting up outta everywhere.

Then they all have the 2.5 model with the 20's, so it looks like the car can barely turn those things.

I'm in So.cal and beleive it or not I see at least 4-5 G-35s for every TL on the road.

 

Invicible is right. Look at how many BMW 3 series there are out there. If you owen a 3 series, you'd probably be more pissed

 

Its all psychological. You are seeing what you want to see. There are definitely a lot of 3 series.. A LOT!! I probably see more Mercedes S class's and 7 series down here in Houston than a TL. But thats because I love those cars and I always spot them out in the road.

 

I agree, I live and work in northern NJ too and see an S***load of them on the local roads in Bergen County and I'm just "commuting" no more than 15 mins through 4 towns I really wish I could do some visual mods like tinting or different wheels but it's a lease and I currently can't dispose of income into vanity purchases. At least I have one difference, I put a strip of chrome door trim in the lower front air intakes. Gives it a slightly classier look to me at least

Dumont

 

There are 3 in my neighborhood and at least 5 in my area. It pisses me off too.

 

once I drove on 3 lane(one way) road with three of 3G TL side by side one being mine.

 

We have 2G's everywhere, but not too many 3G's ... I only see a handful each month. I actually get excited when I see another one!

 

Isn't it wrong? Shouldn't it be invisible?

 

at your age you should be happy and proud you have such a beautiful car, I am

throw some rims/tint on it, now you are unique

and you can almost be a one of a kind if you throw in a RJ kit

 

I see alot... but most are the 3rd Gen or 2nd Gen TL-Ps. So far... none like mine.

 

How about 5 or 6 in the same parking lot????

 

i see a silver one a couple houses down from mine driven by a mom.
that's the only one i see on a regular
when i see them on the road im always curious who drives them. I look at them and they look right back even if passing. I never see any my age So i really dont mind:P
and come next spring with a full time instead of PT job, things are definitely gonna be changed

 

I go to school at Rutgers, and i used to see NO TLs last year. And then all of a sudeen, after i got mine, i started seeing more and more of them. It's not like i wasn't lookin' for them last year either. Driving around campus, i always give thumbs ups to the kids driving it, but they never respond.
I used to live in N. Jersey too (parents moved to Vegas, so they bought me a townhouse by school), and yeah...there were TONS of TL everywhere..esp on 287.

 

 

The difference is most 3 series are base models. You can buy a sport/premium and stand out much more, or take it the next level w/ a rare ZHP model. They are night and day in looks.

That's the only problem w/ the TL. There's ONE LOOK, unless you mod. But even then, the stock already looks nice, so everyone has the same.

That's my only gripe.

 

It's the opposite here in Tulsa. Before I got my 05, I'd see at least 3-5 TL's on my way to work in the morning and no Integra's (mine was an ITR). now I see no TL's and the same 5 Integras (none of them are ITR's) every morning.

 

By the way, this is the same reason the TL won't be a RWD anytime soon. Acura has no incentive making landscape changes to the car. It sells just fine. It's about profit baby.

 

I know what you mean, I see a lot of TL myself over here... my only suggestion is to modified your car so that it's unique, I know people always reconized my car when I drive pass them because it's unique.

 

Must have been me lol jk
