AcuraZine's New Flagship...

After a quick trip from Albany to Verona, and a wonderful purchase experience with Jeff Scala and Anthony Iu of DCH Montclair Acura, I drove away with a brand new 6-speed, Satin Silver Metallic and Ebony, 2005 TL with Navigation.




Thursday night, I snapped a couple shots of AcuraZine's new ride...

Nice. I'd have had silver/ebony if the girls of the family hadn't been along for the purchase.

Good choice getting the Michelin tires. The Navi that comes with them is probably useful in New England too!

Congratulations!!! I LOVE you photos...I have to take some night time shots soon - I know just the place. Just got my ABP 6M w/Navi 1 week ago.....here is a link to some images. What kind of camera did you use? any flash?

Nice, love the blue/camel. The blue is really popular here, a large percentage of the TL's I see are that color. It makes the car look more expensive I think too.

Camera is a Sony F828, flash in only a few, mostly just slow shutter speeds. EXIF data should be readable in all the pics.

That's a tight ride, dood!

How does it compare with your previous Acuras?

It's awfully shiney. What did you use on it?

You know- all of us have that color. ... on our wheels. It's the same paint and it is beautiful.

You should have said you were coming down here. I live 5 minutes away from there.

So what do you have planned for this one?

Soopa, looks great, congrats on the TL, guess you went MT after all the AT probs on your CL.

I wish Acura had thier act together and I still had my TL!

I had the silver/ebony/Nav also, but AT (first AT in several decades, that was my downfall).

Good luck with her, and great shots, must have been around 8pm in Albany, all the folks were home by then - J/K :wink:

really nice Adam..

the only thing that kept me from buying the TL was that they welded the exhaust manifolds to the block.. :yuk:

yes, definately. i bought my first TL before AcuraZine and I'm sure I'll buy my last after.

I love Acura's. Something about the style of them, they take care of the details I appreciate it, and leave off the ones I don't to save the sticker shock.

The TL is a treat, it's like a well tailored suit.
