Never a day regretting getting this car... ABP auto/non navi

Although the navi is nice... but I already have an IPAQ (4155) that could do the same job. It's not that hard to play around with fan speeds/radio on/off either. (I know... I'm just justifying my choice) Other than the lack of voice command, I LOVE THIS CAR!!TL PICS

After seeing the IBP on the TSX, I never really looked at pictures of the ABP TL, must say it quite a bit different and very nice!

Enjoy.

Thank you no remorse I just love the poll that shows that I'm one of the few to have the TL in this color. Nonetheless, regardless of color, this car is A W E S O M E!!!! I just wish the A-SPEC is a little cheaper than five grand. Otherwise I would take it in a heartbeat! :shit: if I find a good deal

It's the IPAQ navigation system that includes the bluetooth GPS satellite, and its own software. Contact HP for details, but it's another 300 dollars or so... it's been a while so I don't remember the exact price.

I have the same car except I've been too cheap to spring for the new Michelins. I have no regrets on the color either. I think the blue car and blue gauges and blue tinted side view mirrors all look great. Nice pictures.

Hmm... new michelins? Those tires are the ones that I got rolling off the dealership. Did they changed something without me knowing? Kinda cool to know since I only got this car for 29,000 plus tax. Yeah I love the color too, and thanks for the compliment! I thought of ASpec, but the cost doesn't justify the "show" look. It's awesome enough without the ground effects. :P

A damn fine ride in a damn fine colour!! I support your fine taste. I just picked up my ABP w. camel last week. Seems that Abyss Blue Pearl could use some more support on this forum (maybe it's time for an ABP club)

Yeah, and now it's even more awesome hearing that it's a rare color since 2005 will be discontinuing this color. There's other threads on this =)

Well said Mtl-04TL and I agree. The Acura ABP has a beautiful deep look to it that not many dark blues can match. Although I think Infiniti's Twilight Blue is slightly more attractive, Acura's ABP is right up there and looks great with Camel or lighter interior and woodwork.

Had to say it was a tough decision deciding on colors. I liked it in black and anthracite but once I saw the abp I was convinced in my opinion it is the best choice. I was wondering if anyone placed 35% or even 20% on this color and how does it look any pics?

Excellent color choice!

I bought my car with the navigation system and I'm quite pleased with it. However, I too have a PDA based GPS setup using an Ipaq 2215, a Compact Flash based Global Satcom BC-307, and Mapopolis navigation software.

The PDA based solution works well enough, but the integration of the factory navigation system is well worth the money in my opinion. I still use the PDA based GPS in my other vehicles, so the TL hasn't made it obsolete.

Good luck with your car!

You have my exact car, auto, non-navi ABP with camel. I have gotten 7 unsolicitied comments from strangers on my ride.

I've yet to see another blue one. I've seen couple of whites, a silver or two and a green. One red.
