Is the tranny fixed? If the tranny can't handle 225hp, let alone 260hp WTF are we happy about 275hp and no new tranny?
Shoot, all Infiniti will do is wait and change the exhaust on the sedan to give it 280hp like the G35 coupe, then what?

Of course the car is going to have a new tranny. With all the troubles they had with the current 'box, why would they keep it on the NEW car? How's this, how about we wait until next month when Acura releases the OFFICIAL specs? Then Justin and I won't have to keep answering questions we can't know the answers to and to keep straightening out a lot of the speculations. As for the 275 HP, it's obviously that dealer's screwup. Not only do they have pics of the concept and not the real car, but they don't even have the official release date printed (which we have had for some time now...10/6).

It has been a few weeks, I think Justin is going to come through with something good today, like ventilated seats!
Let's have the news! please...

It's kind of late, and we still haven't heard anything. My guess is that Justin is at HQ in Torrance right now.
Hopefully, he can grab a copy of the 2004 TL brochure and scan it in for all of us...

I'm hoping the adaptive cruise control announcement is coming tonight!
BTW, I just put a $500 deposit down on a 2004 TL today (automatic transmission & NAV). I guess I'll trade in my 2000 TL.

You guys are funny ... I guess one advantage to work kicking my ass is that I don't go nutty over every new tidbit. You just don't wanna be around this site and see me when my lease is up in 2.5 years
