so she had a bad day... :(

yes, it happened to me...my faithful warrior of 9 years got totaled today the wife was driving her (wife is ok), and got rear ended which caused her to collide with a Suburban... Had to pay respects, 210,000 + and not one issue what-so-ever..Now I am in the market..for an SUV..any suggestions..thinking MDX, Pilot, 4Runner...sad day

its a honda accord. looks about 94-96. i think he was referring to the accord. the TLs fine. plus, you cant have a 3g tl for 9 years.

the accord looks like the only damage is the hood, grill, bumper and light. yu could easily buy those parts.

sorry about your Accord. Glad the wife is ok

id look into the last gen 4Runners, especially 06+. toyota build quality, true 4wd (if needed), optional V8, timing chain, ect. the only downside to the 4Runner would be gas mileage. i think the V6 and the V8 are pretty equal, maybe a gallon or two difference.

i will most likely get one myself in about 6months once i move and sell the TL

^^^^That's what I was thinking.

Have you seen the new Honda Crosstours? It's SUV-ish...kinda.

Glad your wife is OK! Looks like you'll be spending a whole lot of money replacing the Accord.

tahoe for the wife sounds like a nice upgrade so she doesnt take the tl when she needs it...lol

Ouch! Sorry to see! I'm glad your wife wasn't hurt.

Personally out of the 3 suvs listed, I like the MDX the most. I've driven all of them at work and I could easily see myself in the MDX. It feels more refined and not as cheap feeling as the others.
