My 7th Acura since 2004, but the gf has had 4 as well since 2009. I really like SSM in the daylight, not a huge fan when overcast of dark as it looks too blue.
Congrats on your 7th Acura! I wanted to get Silver also but I agree with you on how it looks pretty bluish when not in direct sunlight. Decided to go with graphite because of this

That's what I like about that color. It's similar to my 05 MSM TSX.
The A6 was great car, one of the best I have owned. I was just tired of paying so much every month for what became a commuter car. Only thing I would change would be get the sport package as because of the cars weight it is a bit front plow heavy in turns. And I wish I could have afforded the $6K B&O upgrade as the Bose sucked. Last thing would be I would get a 15 or later as they have LTE for the online search and use ATT vs. TMobile, the 3G Tmobile was slow, although nowhere near as slow as using AcuraLink!
thanks for sharing , there are also easy a few DIY upgrades for that car that give great results when compared to Acura who still fail to use forced induction in these heavy cars
I can see why Acura avoids it, it adds cost and could impact longevity and I see far more long term Honda/Acura products on the road than VW/Audi. And with the great MPGs Honda gets from normally aspirated engines they might as well hold off. I see the new Civic has a Turbo so they are coming around. I am sure they are stinging from the 1G RDX, that engine was horrible the boost came on like a light switch.
Nice looking car! After my BWP '15 was totalled (see my post for pics) I was pretty sure I wanted the Slate color for a replacement, but the wife loved the white and we ended up with a BWP '16 Advanced as a replacement. Glad to see another loyal HMC owner online. The '16 we picked up this week is my 11th from Honda. Almost 40 years of driving HMC cars, with 1 million owner miles. No complaints from me - only $1700 in unscheduled repairs, I have guzzled the Kool-aid.
