I already sold my TL a few months ago. I went to the dark side and bought a 15 Charger RT Plus.

Yes, the new Charger is really surprisingly nice and refined.

It has definitely impressed me since ownership. And I've always been a Japanese car lover at heart.

I've really noticed the new chargers on the road, everyone seems to have bought the car in black and it looks fantastic. My issue with them is that so many of them end up on the road as rental cars (much like Ford Mustangs) and the resale is just terrible on them. Probably not a bad car to pick up a year or two old and pay half what you would new, but the initial depreciation in value is terrible.

Got any pictures of yours?

Well I guess I'm an "outlier" or at least not mainstream. Looking at selling our 2010 ZDX Tech at the end of the year and picking up a 2015-2016 RLX PAWS. The ZDX is a great car for two, but not for hauling friends and grandkids.The hybrid is a great car but limited trunk space for all the crap we take when we travel and prices are pretty close to MSRP are the reason for choosing the PAWS model. 2015 CPO RLX-PAWS with low miles are in mid 40's on Cars.com and other sites. End of the year prices are usually "softer".

The rentals are the SE spec with basic wheels and cloth seat...you can spot them immediately (and they are still quite attractive)

Starting from the R/T up they are really beautiful and you can easily distinguish them from the rental grade.

Honestly, the Chrysler 300 S Hemi in full sport trim with dark mesh wheels, pano roof, and blacked out from looks much more cohesive and sharp than the Charger.

A 300 in Hellcat trim with AWD would be very high on the DO WANT list.
(Doesn't exist tho)

I also forgot to mention, I quite like the Chevy SS sedan in 6spd manual trim. I think it can look quite sinister with the right stance & colour.

Once I'm done with the mods on her-hopefully Acuraget their $h!+ together and maybe I'll get another TL, but from the looks of things HONDA has and I'm sure they still will be taking off with the sales in the midsize and especially with the 2016 Accord and Honda is just leaving the crumbs on the TLX, but yuh I'll probably still stay loyal to Honda or Acura not too happy with the direction that Acura has taken, but from what I read some guy left and ikeda is taking lead so we'll see where this brand is heading...crossing fingers

It probably wont be a new manual transmission Acura, since they appeared to have stopped making them for good.

The 300 is more classy and more elegant. The fit and finish in the 3th generation 300 is rather impressive for the money, the Platinum trim feels very luxurious.


The Charger is more "brutal" in look but the 3th generation nip and tuck it added that touch of refinement that has increased its appeal a lot.

I love my 4G TL. The TLX styling really turned me off after seeing the awesome red prototype. Had cash in hand and ready to buy. Since I will prolly be retiring soon, might sell my beloved MX-5 and prinstiine Nissan Frontier, call it a day and get a Corolla or Prius.
