There is no way you are posting those long messages from a smartphone. Smartphones are for smart people. Why would you have one?

So thats why the 2014 TL will have a 7 speed with more horse power. How many 2009-2011 TLs do we see on the roads today? Very few. In this case seeing is believing. Thread bashers are forgiven. I expected this type of responses to my thread. Its a heart sinking feeling to know that something better will be released in a couple of years.
Hmmm..

1) Leg space deficiency? 4G TL has 36.2" of rear leg room. G37 has 34.7", BMW 5 series has 36.0"

2) G37 is cheaper yes, but not faster. 0-60 acceleration times for the G37 has been clocked from 5.2-5.7, the TL 6MT 5.2-5.6. When you factor in the TL's torque vectoring AWD on a race track, the TL is a formidable S4 fighter.

While I respect the Infiniti 3.7 after driving one now for 9 month is seems to be all top end, the Acura seemed to have much better off the line torque and the 3.7 needs RPMs to really do much. I'll take low end torgue over HP any day.

Tell you what, when this car comes out, if it has a strong visual impact and promising performance, we WILL be making a widebody kit to replace the front, sides and rear as well as the fenders and we will have 10" wide forged wheel to go all around. I already have plans with my factory to produce such a kit. Now it's up to Acura to put out something with High horsepower and good looks (not to mention AWD).

I thought it was "you can't turn a ho into a housewife", but I like "a lady in the streets and a ho in the bed" better anyway.
