Modifying a leased car isnt really worth it because you dont get your money back when u turn it in. I usually put tints, all season mats and wheels on mine at most because i can take out the mats and wheels and either move it to my next car or sell it. Tint is cheap so it really doesnt matter.

Yes, but out of all those people buying TL's, how many of them actually know or even post in this forum? We here are just a small fraction of the thousands of TL owners out there. Whenever you have a dramatic styling change, it takes time for people to get used to it. When the Bangle-designed 7 series and 5 series first came out, everybody predicted the car would bankrupt BMW......today, the 5 series is universally hailed as the Benchmark and is a huge seller for BMW. The 4G will sell and sell well......I have absolutely no doubts about it.
It seems that Acura dealer took the quick step to push 4GTL into the market with their special strategies. This apparently doesn't attract too many ppl jumping into the pool to enjoy. I didn't mean 4G doesn't have the good sale records. The fact is that 3GTL seemed to be the more attractive item before it hit on the market. Dozens of users were able to report they got the new cars in 1st weekend.
Wish I will see the same thing on the 2nd weekend of Nov.

I emailed the dealer to reserve the test-drive when on the flight back to NY. Ummm, only 3.5TL is available. Tried it and got the good feeling about it. If possible, I'd love to see SH-AWD vehicle in Nov. Perhaps, SH-AWD model can help make my mind.

2019 RDX Tech SH-AWD
Congrats!
Love the exterior color, although I am partial to light color interiors. I drove this car last week and in person it looks good. The engine is very smooth, impressive. I love all the features on the Tech package, expensive upgrade but it adds a lot of cool electronics.
I thought about buying one this year but I think I will wait a year until I get used to the design. I had to do that with the 3G when I owned a 2G.
Hope with the bigger engine the gas mileage numbers are acurate.

should i spend more in
Are you saying that the sound system operates similar to Ford's/Microsoft's Sync feature in terms of searching for songs/artists? How long does it take to search for the song? Does this feature apply to the USB port/ipod connection and MP3s too, or just CD/DVD-A? Congrats on the car by the way, It seems like you're very happy with your purchase, and you should be

Yes it does, and it performs very quickly. If you hook up a thumb drive to the USB port, you can control the files with the dash controls (knob or voice), and it is very quick! Also, the radio plays burned DVD's with mp3/wma files. I tried it out yesterday at my local dealer in Orlando. Also, for anyone in the Orlando area, they have a WDP (don't know the new name for the white) 4g w/ the factory kit and the 19" machine/black wheels!! Its at Fountain Acura on OBT. Congrats on the purchase Pete!! Looks awesome.

Thanks, erick3. I wished I could mod my car but 2 problems....1) my car is leased so modding my car could be a waste of money, and 2) I have too many bills right now to spend on accessories.......actually, I like the car as is right now.....maybe next summer.
