All I gotta say is the reporter who likes the look of this car is sporting a massive mullet so maybe he's not the best person to trust as far as styling goes.

He did say the designer is from Texas.

What a DORK, long mullet hair in a suit? These TV station representative are idiots without scripts. "...80 buttons to push...?" You moron, 80% of those button are voice activated which he failed to mention, so you don't have to push them or even look down! Yeah the trunk is high, so your hillbilly mullet wearing cousin from Texas will have to step up to ride in the trunk! Sorry to bash a little on Texas, as there's a bunch of good people there, but when people talk out of the side of their "red" necks, it's hard not to take a shot at them...

You go the BMW way with hardly any buttons and you deal with the iDrive or you go the Acura way with 80 buttons but voice control. I like the Lexus feature where they have that slide out tray that has lesser-used buttons on it. Journalists love to complain about so many buttons but then they bitch when there are not enough.

You know, the more I think about it now, this ticks me off. This is the exact reason I don't watch the news anymore, only for weather and sports. The media is so fowled up I don't know where to start, but let me just share with you as I was pretty close to the Amtrak crash two months ago in Chatworth, CA, and when I stopped to take a peak, a channel 4 NBC representative was setting up a tripod to film a reporter (unknown), I heard her say that "terrorism isn't ruled out yet..." THERE WERE TWO TRAINS YOU STUPID BIMBI!!! I just laughed at her an mumbled what an idiot and drove home, it was a very sad sight to see.

So to you Mr. Mullet Texan heehaw, stay away from our beloved TL, and stick to reporting country fairs and stuff...

You do have to take into account that it was a Faux News affiliate.

I and many others I know of personally thinks new TL is beautiful compare to any other car in the market. I have heard many comments saying how the TL looks futuristic. I know front grill could have been better but it still looks great. If i am in market for a new car, 4G TL definitely be it!

Damn you guys are bashing the reporter and the state of Texas more than talking about the car. I mean he didn't really bash the car at least not as much as I've read the members on this board bash it since it came out. You guys just don't like Texas or what?

I don't care if the reporter is from Uranus... anybody with his 'style' shouldn't be commenting on how anything looks.

Texas is okay by me... tho Odessa sucks.

Network affiliation has nothing to do with automotive reviews.

Yes I am bashing the reporter who is talking about our car because reporting is important, it speaks to the masses who are usually sheep, they follow everything they hear. This reporter talked about 80 buttons to push when most of them are automated by voice command, which I think is a huge selling point IF IT'S REPORTED! That's bad reporting! The fact that he's sportin' a mullet in a suit and is from Texas, just yields poking fun at. Like I stated above I don't hate Texas, but it sure is a controversial state to say the least.

In fact, I'm considering getting a gun rack for the back window in my TL...
