Who else has a Honda/Acura family of cars?!!
Nice Accord and TL. Jeep looks amazing too. From the looks of the wheels, is that the Overland model?

We recently bought a 2012 TL SH-AWD Advance, and I have been driving a 2009 Honda Ridgeline RTL for a couple years now. I have always driven big domestic trucks, but the Ridge has become one of the best vehicles I've ever had!

My first car from age 16-22 was a 92 Mazda 626, inherited from my parents.
The first car I purchased myself was a 2005 Honda Accord Coupe V6 and loved it. I drove it for about 7 years and finally decided to upgrade recently to a 2010 TL Tech. When shopping for cars, I was primarily looking at Honda/Acura, because I had a great experience owning the Accord.

I replied earlier, but since folks started listing all of their Hondas, I thought I would add my list:
1987 Accord <- New out of college, my first car.
1992 Accord Station Wagon
2000 Accord Sedan
2003 Odyssey
2004 Civic Hybrid <- Traded the 1987 Accord
2005 Odyssey <- Traded the 2000 and the 2003
2008 Accord Sedan <- Traded the 05
2010 Element <- Totaled the Hybrid
2011 TSX Wagon <- Traded the 08
2007 Element <- The daughter's car for college
2012 TL SH-AWD Advance <- Traded the 10 Element
All of the cars except the 2007 Element were purchased new. I hope to have the '11 Wagon and the '12 TL until electric vehicles are good enough that they can travel any distance that I want to go.

I just got an '09 TL Tech FWD. My wife has an '07 RDX Tech SH-AWD.
Previously, we've had:
03 Honda Civic LX
03 Acura MDX base
04 Honda Accord EX-L 4-cyl
07 Honda Accord EX-L 4-cyl
08 Honda Accord Coupe EX-L 4-cyl.
I really liked the MDX (but it was too big for us), the 04 Accord and the 08 Accord Coupe. The 07 Accord was boring, and the 03 Civic was a good commuter car for us (vicious Northern VA to DC commute), so it fit our needs at the time, but there was nothing spectacular about it.
Honda has gotten a little boring, but I love Acura. BMW and Infiniti are nice and have some great models, but I just can't see us driving anything other than Acura in the near future.

Not sure if this qualifies as a Acura/Honda family, but here goes:
We recently purchased a 2010 TL Tech AWD while continuing to lease a 2010 MDX Tech (thanks to work). Who said anything about high gas prices.
Previously leased a 2000 3.2 TL followed by a 2003 Honda Oddity, yes Oddity. No Typo. Not a fan. Only had it for a year when I was able to get a, oh never mind. Not a Honda product.
Not bad for someone who never really liked imports.
Who knew.
Good for at least 24 months until the lease is up on the MDX. Or should I say at least 18 months until I start researching for something new.....

I- 08' TL w/Tech pkg, mom- 10' CR-V w/ Navi, Sis-in-law- 10' Pilot EX-L.
I've had the following: 98 Prelude Type SH, 99 Passport EX-L (BIG mistake), 00 AP1 S2k, 03' CL-S 6spd, 95 Civic EX w/ ABS 4 whl disc brakes and B16b engine and all mods, 08' Accord EX-L w/ Navi coupe.

I am officially a member of this elite group, haha.
I leased a 2012 Honda Pilot EX-L w/ Navi for my wife this past weekend. It's my first lease, I swore I'd never do one, but it works out great for us since she gets a three year itch and we got a hell of a deal on it. It also allowed us to get out of her 2005 Lexus ES330 before some expensive upcoming maintenance.
This thing is pretty amazing. MPG is great, size is perfect, and there are so many different ways to configure the inside...from folding seats to sliding rows to storage compartments everywhere you look!
I've never owned an SUV before so I'm looking forward to the convenience and no longer having to rent a damn truck from Home Depot for just about everything, haha. It's also nice that there's some familiarity with the tech.
I don't really plan on modding it, just the chrome side steps since she's a shorty and some 30% tint to keep out that FL sun.
It's crazy that this thing has three rows of seats with decent space behind the third, and it's still shorter than my TL.

Besides the various Acuras in my signature below, I've also had an '08 TSX and an '09 Honda Fit. The Fit was totalled after 2 months. Other than that brief 2-month spell, the only time when I had more than one Acura/Honda simultaneously was when I had the two NSXes and the Legend concurrently. Bought the first NSX at 26 (it was the first car I bought with my own money, haha). All bought brand new.
