CarDataVideo Review: New Acura TL Tour

Another video I'd missed which I'm posting for posterity.

I liked the parts about the Dopler Weather and the Surround Sound system being the best in the marketplace. Is that true? How does it compare to Lexus, BMW and Infinity?

I don't think he needs coffee, S2000 you must watch a lot of MTV? LOL. I like his calm manner rather than the usual "hype" guy. I really like his word usage in describing the TL and the differentiation between the two models, it makes sense. He omitted to mention the voice activation for 75% of the buttons in the car, as most reviewers do. I've yet to see any moving doppler weather in my car, does it move for yours?

Bmode, isn't the Doppler weather a subscriber opportunity with XM? If you have the Tech Package model, I think you have to pay for it, but I may be wrong.

"ELS is argueably the best sounding sound system".... what else has he listend to? It is nto bad, but has faults. He needs to go listen to the Lexicon in a Genesis then see what he says....

Also isn't this an old post anyway...

Be glad. I'm American and with all the problems I'm having with XM, I don't get it as well lol. All you're missing is a headache.

No headache's over here, so you are missing something. I have XM paid until May 09', and the weather and traffic is free for another month for me, but I've yet to see a moving doppler screen?
