We got our 05 TL !

We got an 05 TL w/nav!
From minivan to a TL is a good jump. It took a few miles to get used to the brakes (we have to stomp on the vans brakes to stop). What fun it is to have a sports car again! And with seating for four!

Congatulations on your purchase. And, I might add, for your good taste. (I have the same ext and int colors as you have chosen.) Welcome to the forum.

You appreciate the TL so much after leaving a vehicle that's considered a "hunk of junk." Good luck and nice color choice.....did you get the navi?

Thanks to you all,
Yes we got the Navi and it's great. We'll use it alot here in the Bay Area. Our first navi trip was to the nearest Baskin robbins 10 miles away. No eating in the car!
Oh yeah, it does seat 5 doesn't it. That's even better!
The only problem we are having is only one of us gets to drive.

Nice pic! That could be my car right down to the splash guards, except for two things: Mine is an 04 and doesn't have a name yet. I just hit 1000 miles the other day.

It's always surprising for me to see the TL in that color. I just don't see it around much. I wonder if it's less produced?

Yes, it is less produced! Our dealer showed us his incoming car inventory and they only had one coming in during the next few weeks. This is actually the color I went in for, I love it. It doesn't help that I'm having a little mid life crisis!
