As much as I love Acura gas prices are on the rise and the new Mazda 6 is hot!

2009 Acura TL: 3.7 V6 (AWD) 3.5 V6 (FWD)
Gas: Prem
Price: est 37,000 to 41,000

Mazda 6: 1-4 3.7 V6 both FWD
Gas: Reg
Price: est 21,000 to 32,000

Both car pretty much offer the same equipment but the Mazda will have a better MPG and runs on reg gas. Kinda hard to pass up.

SAME EQIUPMENT?! lol at that

well minus a few things but not enough to turn it down as a prospect.

so u going talking about dumping a 280 horses luxury sedan with a good quality build engine and other parts for a 210 horse (mazda6 sports) with a Fucker Only Runs Downhill (FORD) engine....man u need serious help....LOL!!!!

Its redone for 2009 with a 3.7 V6 and 272hp.

My lease will be up in a few months.

it looks cheap

So your comparing a Mazda with an Acura...
Comparing a 40K car to a 20K car...
Jeeez...

The Mazda looks too feminine, also, if people are concerned about regular vs premium gas maybe they should not be buying a luxury car. The Acura TL 3.7L AWD will do 16 MPG city, just like the 09 RL with same engine-drivetrain.

if ur so concern with gas
go with a honda fit...or even a TSX.

Man with this kind of mentality I'm so glad I don't work for Acura anymore.

I think I would go in for the 09 AWD or 08 TL-S....given a choice.....but well again ur car is leased so well u can't do a whole bunch of mods....I would go ahead and buy a civic or tsx and mod it up.....but then again that's just me.....

Wtf. Go get a Mazda then! Zoom zoom or something...

Tone it down a bit, there's no need to be harsh in conveying you message.

To the OP:
As others have said, comparing a 20K Mazda to the unknow details of a TL isn't the best idea. If you do wish to compare them, compare it as the 6 vs. the RL as the TL will grow to the size of the RL and offer the same or even more things.

Also by the time you equip the 6 to the new TL's/current RL's specs, you will be at around 32K...

it's gonna be a 5K difference between the two, basically it will cover the price for better, design, looks, quality and reliability....

Example:
Have any person who doesn't know much about cars look at the following two pics and ask which they would drive:


Or

u pick up more chicks with the TL

You all should know by now that this thread should be in Car Talk
