Go with the SHAWD. Even if you do like them equally. Im speaking from experience. I liked both of them about the same but after a while with the FWD, i felt like i should've just gotten the SHAWD.

Don't underestimate the FWD, I have seen many blank faces in my rear view mirror on the highway...

Oh im not underestimating it. The FWD is an amazing car as well. I've felt like the FWD takes off faster but still either way you go you won't regret it

If you get snow in winter, get the SH-AWD. You will have more fun/control driving in snow.

Doesn't make sense

If you do not have the extra money to the get SHAWD which is obviously the better car then how can you afford to trade in the 08 TL? Didn't you lose money due to depreciation?

What you going to do when the new TL model comes out? Trade in and lose more money?

I decided on the Tech because i really didnt need all the extra power of the AWD, and I can AFFORD to trade my 08 Because I have the $. I didnt carry any negative equity on my car because I put alot down on my 08 ...I thought this was a Car Forum not a Salary Calculator?

Robert, you have to grant access to these photos for us to see them. It looks like they are in a private gallery.

Looks good. You should be able to post the IMG CODE and it will show up. Paste it in the text box that you type in.

You made the right choice sine you would not need SHAWD in your DC/Northern VA areas.
