New member introduction -

I just picked up my 2012 TL SH-AWD w/Tech in Graphite Luster Metallic / Taupe on Saturday. This is my 4th TL. I have owned a '02, 05 and '09 prior to my 2012. I have put over 100,000 miles on each without issues. GREAT cars and fun to drive. I also own a BMW Z4 for summer weekend fun. I look forward to weighing in on topics around here. BTW...I will post pics soon. I'm married to a wonderful woman and have grown kids (the best kind).

I picked up the '09 TL/Tech FWD in Oct '08 and drive on an average of 32,000 miles per year. I averaged 28.1 mpg in my '09. I had mixed feelings about the changes that were made to the '09 grill but learned to accept it because the rest of the car was so superior to anything else I have driven in that class. I like the subtle changes to the front and back of the '12. This is my first AWD car. It has been raining so I have had a chance to test it on turns and start ups. I like the response and handeling advantage that it gives.

Besides the 4 seperate TL's that I have owned, I have also owned a TSX and an RSX when they first came out as second cars. I guess you could say that I am a true Acura guy. :wink:
