I m almost at the end of my g37X sedan lease, and i'm doing some research for my next car. In my list, Volvo S60R T6 AWD, ACURA TL SH AWD TECH, AUDI A4 2.0T (would like the S4 but too exepensive), and G37X (satisfied but i would like to change , just to try something else), mercedes classe C250 4matic (not powerfull). BMW 3 series not on my list, i dislike interior.

For information i always rent the cars to write them off my taxes, so i don't care about resale value of the car. I'm just looking at the payment on 36 months. I want AWD, here in Montreal is a must to have

I've tried the TL AWD tech. I didn't feel the power like the G37X. And in manual the auto transmission don't allow me to stay on 1st gear wich was the only thing that annoy me. Great car but different feeling even though the figures 0-60 etc... are very close of the G

S60 is a very fun to drive car, you feel that the power arrive very fast. Here in canada it's difficult to see one on the road, they sold only 60 units in the province of quebec this year. Love the confort. Not sure about reliability though.

A4, the butt dyno is not very exited by the acceleration feeling, but love the exterior and interior. The safety feeling is very high.

If you have some constructive things to add, feel free to answer, or anything that might help me to decide. I have owned a 2005 and 2007 TL, so i know the previous model.

And for the bi xenon. It,s not clear. Does the TL have xenon for high and low beam or just for low. In the previous generation i remenber the Tl has both, in the headlight there was a mecanism to open or close partially over the Xenon bulb to go from high to low beam with the same bulb.

Thank you

4g TL's only have HID low beams.
DRL's become high beams.

thank you sir, that is why they are better....much clearer output with a nice sharp cutoff line

Here is how I would prioritize your list:
#1.ACURA TL SH AWD TECH
#2.Infiniti G37X
#3.Mercedes C300 4Matic
#4.AUDI A4 2.0T Quattro
#5.Volvo S60R T6 AWD

The Audi and Volvo are at the bottom for me because of the parts expense and the repair bills and lack of reliability.

Thank you for your answers, i think i ll be back with acura in few months with a TL SH AWD TECH Auto.

For the bi xenon i don't want to modify anything in a car i will keep only two years. I don't use a lot high beam on my 3rd generation TL, but when i needed them it was a pleasure to use them. I hope high beam is good even though are not xenon

So THAT'S the difference I see between my '09 TL and my wife's '08 TSX. I just didn't know why. I would love to do that swap...just lack knowledge and money.

Thanks for posting!
