Just wanted to introduce myself...

i just picked up a 09 TL SH AWD w Tech Package. The car is gray with white interior. I am coming from a Lexus IS300 and used to own an Acura before the Lexus.

I look forward to reading and learning from you all.

Ouch, I still owe over $25k on mine, that's a little too close to sell/trade and walk away...

^^^I've thought about it, but I'm picky and want Mayan Bronze AND AWD AND 6MT AND umber/ebony interior. So, hard to find and I'd have to have an immediate 2 to 3K for modding to make it look nice right off the bat. For that, I keep on truckin with my 3G.

Welcome,

Make sure to use the search button, also make sure to post those pics.

Also being here you are going to do more than tint and intake.

the car is definitely bigger/heavier and more comfortable than the IS300. i do miss the nimbleness of the IS300 and the RWD but i am definitely impressed with how well the AWD grips. the car handles a ton better than i expected it to.

the low end torque is nice but was kind of disappointed at WOT on the high end. i may need to play around with the shifters more.

definitely enjoying the car tho....the comfort creatures in the car vs the IS300 is not even a comparison.

thanks for the welcome messages folks. definitely looking forward to being a contributing member on this forum.
