Brand New '12 TL SH-AWD 6 Speed
Hey everyone,

I just took delivery of a 2012 CBP TL 6 speed on Tuesday night. This thing is absolutely sweet and is my new weekend toy. I daily drive a 2008 Fit and my wife has a 11 RDX

Besides, the 3 we have now, I'm no stranger to Hondas and Acuras over the years (89 CRX, 96 Accord, 99 TL, 2006 Accord, 2007 S2000)

Looking forward to owning this car for a long time and hanging out around here

Congratulations! Did you have to order it or were you lucky enough to find one available?

Luckily, there were a few local to me within an hour in a few directions but they started to get sold really quickly. I called this dealer (Lehigh Valley) on Tuesday morning, they said they still had it in stock and I immediatley put my CC down on it. Killer price too. $37,735 PLUS the $1,000 Acura loyalty cash which the applied as a down payment!

Awesome, good move! That's pretty much the deal I got, too. Definitely scored an awesome ride. Enjoy the 6MT!

Great choice, Pablo. I was also more excited it seemed when I got my 6MT last month than when I had my 2004 S2000. At least now I can bring the kids to redline

If I couldn't snag a manual, I would have just waited for the 13s to come out. No auto for me.

Good luck. I may have just snagged the last manual left in PA. I bought from Lehigh Valley Acura. A dealer or 2 in NJ had 1 or 2 last week...

Im from Abington originally but lived in Phoenixville between '82-'98 (my wife's from there) so not too far from you! Certainly is a nice area. We still get back there once a year to visit family.

Looks great man! I'm planning to remove my 35% tint and have 15% put on. Glad to see another CBP with that combo.
