Red or Mayan Bronze?

Can't decide, drove the car twice. Originally I hated the design, but the more I look at the car the more I love it :-)
Doesn't the Red look almost brown, lighter version of the Bronze?
Anyway, time to start negotiations (probably Mayan Bronze with Black interior), I have a price in mind, we'll see if the dealers have the same price in mind for me :-)

Red is another good color choice. Good luck!

Mayan Bronze is the color I've decided. I like the red but it's just a little more common and I have a dark red ES350 now. I think the Mayan Bronze is absolutely gorgeous and it's a color you aren't going to see all over the road either. If you go for that I'd think about getting the umber leather...it's a killer combo.

Good luck in whatever choice you make.

Anyone with umber interior, do you like that color?

Personally, IMHO I don't particularly like either color, but if those were my only choices I would definitely go with the Mayan Bronze with Umber interior...the Red looked particularly bland to me. Red can't be bland...

The TL looks good in both. For me, the Mayan would edge out. It is a very rich color.

Just purchased it 2 hours ago, Mayan Bronze. What a beautiful car!!!
Could not be happier :-)

By the way what's the deal with alarm, dealer is saying there is no alarm in this car, are they trying to scam me?

Congratulations! Welcome to the club! The car has an alarm. Were they trying to sell you the theft "insurance?"

Congrats Hypno! So give us some details & pics. Interior color, 18"s or HPT 19"s, accessories, and which dealer did you get it from? I hadn't seen any Mayan/Umber's (if that's what you got) at the local dealers lately, it must have just arrived. So maybe we're going to be sporting the same color combo. I'm in central Mass, you right in Boston? You're going to love this car for sure.

CONGRATULATIONS!

I'm right behind you. What color interior?

Mind if I asked what you paid? My best offer right now on the SH-AWD w/ Tech is $40,500 and they pay my last month's lease ($664).

Finally decided on Mayan Bronze with a black interior, this is what I always had and kind of got used to it. I paid 38,800 for SHAWD with Tech, pretty decent deal I think. PM me if you want more details, definitely shop around, get some quotes from Edmunds up to 200 miles radius from your house.

Actually other dealers offered a similar price, within +/- $200. I think the longer they sit on the lot, the better the price will be. 2010s are coming in few months...

To be honest with you this my my best looking Acura ever, took a bit to get used to the styling but it does look mean and muscular, not like those 3 series :-) (sorry to flame BMW owners, but I also own X5 and that is a great car).

My chances for getting your combo plus the bodykit at 40 is looking better and better. Do you mind telling us which dealer you got it from?
