I'm back with Acura # 7

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

Imreallynliked them and liked having a fresh car. Back then the TL was hot seller so it was easy to flip them that often.

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.

Here's my stable, past and present:
1. 2016 TLX Advanced 800 miles(current)
2. 2015 TLX Advanced 35k
3. 2007 RDX (340k miles) (current)
4. 2006 Honda Civic 134k (Current)
5. 2005 TL 223k (current)
6. 2003 MDX -175k miles
7. 1992 Legend 480k miles
8. 1988 Honda Civic 200k
9. 1981 Honda Accord 90k
10 1984 Honda Civic ?k
11. 1977 Honda Civic 80k

Do you not like your 328i? Have you had problems with it?

I'm debating whether to get a 328i w/ M-Sport pkg or a TLX for my next car...


I've been a devoted Honda/Acura guy, but the devil on my shoulder is telling me to go get the "fun" car.
