I'm back! 2014 TL SHAWD
Hey Everyone,
After a brief hiatus, I'm coming back to a graphite luster / ebony 2014 TL SH AWD TL this Wednesday. I had the identical car in a 2012 model for two years (silver in color) before selling it for a 4runner last winter. Drove the 4runner for 6 months and had regrets on selling my TL within a week of owning the SUV. I owned that TL for 2 years and didn't have a single problem with it. I guess I just get bored with cars and tend to get the itch every 2 years. Hopefully I will keep this one longer. It's a shame they're discontinuing the TL. That was part of the reason why I scooped one up at my dealer.
No major mods planned. I still have a set of Ron Jon rims with snow tires on them for winter. I also kept my weather techs. I s up pose I will tint the windows again, but that's about it.
It's worth noting I did consider the Lexus GS350 F Sport, but after a test ride, I was not impressed whatsoever. Drives like a toyota and the engine honestly sounded like my 4runner. The asking price of those things are ridiculous. Looked at the Infiniti Q50S, but again, price is crazy compared to the TL. Interior seemed small and I heard the electronics are funky. I really believe the TL AWD is the best car you can get for the money.
Anyhow, I'm excited to be back! Will post pics on Wednesday when I pick it up.

TRC101....Congrats on your 2014 TL and welcome back to the family!! I have loved every single km's of my TL and will be sad to see it go in Sept. I am bringing it back to the dealer and will be getting a TLX next spring (unless something else really grabs my attention).

Congrats on the car. Just bought a 14 TL SH-AWD myself three weeks ago. Not to thread jack, but for those asking, I paid 37,250 for mine at Bridgewater Acura. They had the most TL's available.

Congrats TRC101,
In mid-2013 I was about to buy a brand new 2012 TL SH-AWD Tech., however, I ended up going with a 2011 Acura RL Advance.
Nice TL, congrats
