Pete, congrats on the car. I too am looking to lease a TL SH-AWD because I own my own business. My question is what kind of residule did they quote you and what was the money factor?

Pete--you're an effing maniac!
Congratulations on the trade. It sounds like you made the right choice. Personally I'm going to stay out from behind the wheel of the SH 'cause I don't want to have to come up with another 3-grand if I love the SH as much as you do. I'm definitely avoiding temptation and telling myself the FWD is just fine. Now, stop grinning and making me second-guess myself!

I know how you feel. When I got my FWD car last month, I thought for sure the AWD car would not have been worth the wait. When the guys at the dealership who test-drove the AWD model all said it was a "huge" upgrade over the base car, I didn't believe them and thought it was just sales hype. But when my sales rep called me up last weekend and told me that they just got the SH-AWD car in, my curiosity perked up....so I went ahead and test-drove it.....and lo and behold, after the test-drive, I immediately wanted the car...I told myself, THIS is what the 4G should really feel and drive like! Now, don't get me wrong..... I'm not saying you should just dump the FWD car and bleed more money to get the AWD one......the deal that was offered to me worked for me.....it may not be worth it to you. I'm just pissed at Acura for not releasing the AWD car at the same time as the FWD.........I think given the relatively small price difference between the two, more people would choose the AWD car had they been able to see it and test-drive it.
