thinking about a TL

been pondering a TL for a very long time, i prefer the older body style, but are there mechanical reasons to get the 4th gen over the 3rd?

Right on. Sorry about the double posting, just figured they were different enough iterations to warrant the separate inquiries. Thanks you for the response man!!

transmissions are improved in the 4G TL over the 3G TL and the keyless access (leave fob in pocket) w/ push start is nice to have.

4G TL for Sh-AWD and Drivability and Tech. Looks which is subjective (I've owned 4G previously) 3G TL-s or base with Aspec Kit. 07' - 08' have improved transmissions over 04'-06'.
DIY maintenance on these cars are relatively straightforward and many repairs.
