So, why did you buy a 4G TL?

It is ugly

The power steering is over assisted

The automatic transmission isnt very good

It gives pitiful MPG

It actually turns out to be slower than a 3G

It costs about as much as a 328i (which is faster, btw)


I love Acura's (had 2 3G's) and them looking the way they do has completely turned me off to the brand. There is no modesty in them anymore and when they decide to shout, it is a whimper.

BTW: Did i mention it is hugely ugly?

Because the black helicopters that follow you around told us to, just to make your itty-bitty life miserable, you prop-head. That E90 would be your mommy's car, yes?

So, it is unsatisfactory to you if i choose to list every detail of my car?

You dont do yourself any favours by listing the type of bulbs you use, do you?

Okay, the fact is that we can argue for the next millennia and it still wouldnt detract from the fact the it's grown bigger, more expensive and unsavoury to look at.

I adored the last one because it was much cheaper and had more value than the competition and you couldnt quantify the extra money you spent on anything other than emotional preferences.

Thanks for the Opinions, they were as constructive as i could expect.

Wow. Why are you guys calling him a child with the comments you are responding with? The OP was pretty abrupt yeah, but honestly...and jumping to "mommy's E90?" I think your responses are worse than his original post.

Supposedly the SH-AWD is as fast as the 3G Type-S AT, so this statement isn't very accurate. Anyway, what kind of responses did you expect given your incendiary thread title and initial post?

Yeah this is a pointless thread by the OP. The 4G TL is a legitimate alternative to the Germans and other Japanese lux car companies. If I were in the market for a new car, it would be top of my list. I think it has rugged good looks. It handles competently. The interior is well appointed with class leading technology. It is relatively affordable for the amenities offered. Those are some reasons why people bought.

this one never had a chance.

OP- dont start any more threads in 4G if your intent is to incite a flamewar.

and for everyone else- why stoop to someone else's level?
