Nothing professional about that - just luck - didn't really know it at the time I took it. but it sure did look good after I got the photos off the card and to the computer. There's even Zaino on the rims

I never noticed before that the rim is actually 5 A's for Acura. Pretty cool design, but I don't like it for the Black Pearl. It looks great on the blue & grey.

I see the 'A's now - wonder if they are intentional

S2000, just a thought here, but do you ever constructively contribute to a thread? Your quite the prankster, let me know when you do or say something funny.

Gee, vinnier6 seems to think I made a constructive contribution in a post above but you don't think I ever have -- nor do you think I've ever done or said anything funny.

Hmmm, not sure what can be done to help change your perception.

Tell you what: if at some point I care what you think I'll let you know.

Well, I'm joining the club. Just sealed the deal on my Borealis Blue Pearl TL SH-AWD with tech. Going with the taupe interior. Will replace my 07 TL-S (silver/taupe). Car should be in by the first week in January, maybe sooner.

were you able to work a good deal? taupe is the grayish interior, is part of the interior ebony? build a car says something along those lines? did you test drive a SH-AWD? wonder how you think compares to your TL-S? (I could only compare to my 04 TL 5AT) dead start accel not so diff. handling / brakes positive improvement.

Gave in to the dark side, eh Mike?....Hehe....Congrats. I could see the Type-S crowd gasping in disbelief as another one leaves the fold!

jeffkinetictypes - did you drive a SH-AWD? I had seen another post w/ the comparison of SH-AWD and 'S' of acceleration. I came from an 04 5AT (w/ mich pilot sports) - how does the handling of an 'S' compare w/ the SH-AWD? compared to my 04 I still can't believe how the bigger 4G handles - hard to describe - but seems as if I can go thru a corner/turn w/ more speed and yet a whole lot less drama. Its more composed

yah ive driven all varieties, i really, really like my manual acceleration , but love the handling of the sh awd, and love the features. ive pretty much made up my mind to get the 5AT(like the other post said), just hope i dont kick myself in a year. Ive always like the 4G looks, but lately has been growing alot more, i really like it. nice car crxb, you did good!!
