What car will you replace your TL with?

Just gauging to see what people will swap their TLs with when they decide to sell it. I havent had my TL that long but in a couple of years I'd like to get a 6MT E92 BMW M3 sedan or B8 S4 - i think I'll still need a four door as my family dynamics may change by that time. I'd love to get a M3 coupe or S5 but it may not be that practical.

Overall I love the TL and it has all the features I want - so these currently are the only cars Id consider upgrading too at the moment.. I'm leaning more towards the B8 S4 (2010+) since its a bit more practical with better gas mileage and all wheel drive and no gas guzzler tax. A used one goes for a reasonable price..

When I have a real job... a used Evo X. Although I'd probably keep both cars since I'd mod the shit out of the evo and it probably wouldn't be feasible to commute every day in.

I like whats coming out of US manufacturers these days. I expect to last another 10 years and then see what the latest volt, caddy or fords have to offer.

I hope not to have to think about this question for a long time. When that time comes, it will almost certainly depend on my financial situation then.

I am seriously looking at a low mileage (less than 20k) '08 RL. You can find them for less than $30k. More room, smoother ride, SH-AWD all make sense to me. I have a couple spotted, lease turn ins. Better styling than the '10-'11, IMO. Comments?

I don't have a TL , but I thought I'd join in the fun, since you guys in the 3rd gen TL sub-forums get all the cool threads!

I'm with TLDude876, my next car will either be a 335xi, or an M3. (Most likely a 335xi because of the AWD)

Either a 2nd gen CTS-V, GT-R, new E63 AMG with the 5.5 TT. That being said.. The TL is probably staying around for a while.

I replaced my 08 WDP TL-S with a 06 Sahara CR-V. I really miss the TL-S tough.

Just over a year ago. My old Voyager minivan gave up the ghost. 4.5K to replace the engine. So went with only the TL-S for about 6 months. Having one car for the wife and I was getting old quick. So traded in the TL-S for a CR-V and 350Z.

If I still live in PR definitely a used truck, our roads suck. But I like to think that it will be a TL-S or an MDX.

probably a 335, m3, or a 5-series...but who knows...hopefully if my tl lasts a while and a new tl comes out that's just as nice as the 3g, i may get that one.

considering i've only had my TL for 2k miles and just over a month....i think i'll be heading back to an audi.

maybe another b5s4, since i'm really not liking the way most new cars are going design wise, not too mention i'm cheap...at least when it comes to the vehicle, and i'd rather keep money for mods.

i'd like to think i would keep this for 5-10 years, but i'm guessing i'll trade it in on another used car in about 2-4 years job status dependent of course.

I LOVE the new cts-v, but i miss my Quattro too much to entertain that idea seriously

I've had my TL for 5+ yrs & 140K, so it will probably get replaced soon.
Or I might keep it and add a newer ride.

CTS-V, S4, M3 & E63 are high on my list.

I'm not even thinking of another car. I love mine too much. Besides I've only had it a year. I plan on keeping it at least 6 or 7 years.

I hate to think of things like this!

Theoretically the TL will get driven to the point of being almost worthless to the next owner. Be that because of mileage or good solid use.

That, after all, is the point that you know you've used the life of a Honda product.

I'm going keep my TL until its on her last life. After, maybe go for another Acura or Honda model. But if I had the money I'll definitely go for the CTS-V!

Actually I have a 07 TL-S and my wife a 07 MDX, my choice could be a 5G/2012-up TL or wait for a new Honda, some rumors out there Honda came with a AUDI TT killer. I would like to see this!!
