One on the right for me
^ - I was really hoping that the new TL pictures were just shitty. Then I saw it in person and realized the pictures made the car look decent.
And I agree 100 percent with your Audi stance.

I agree. The new TL is a huge fucking step backwards.

x6
BMW sold 266 x6s last month ... Acura might wanna rethink the MSX @ this point. Their sales may be better considering the RDX outsold the x3 but its #s were still pretty low.

@ the X6. Extremely similar to an X5, sans useful big cargo space..... one of the main purposes of SUVs in the first place. And the only vehicles in Acura's lineup that don't make me want to gouge my eyes out are the TSX and MDX. I never was and never will be a fan of the 4G TL's punched-in-the-face look. and YES, its even uglier in person, even with a body-matched grill. The pictures actually make them look decent in comparison.And its funny, I've seen maybe 1-2 4G TLs on the road, and I go to work and school about 10 mins away from dealerships. Meanwhile, there are a bunch of TLs sitting on lots. I've seen 4-5 Genesis's already, they look great. What surprises me is the G8.... its far from a luxury car, but its MSRP is in the "entry-level" range so in comparison its not selling well at all.

I don't think there is a waiting list...
At least locally, they are doing a HUGE discount for the remaining X6 here - something like a $7000 discount! Surely that was not pre-sold and that there is not a waiting list then...

Read Crazy Acura's post above. The X6 is a niche vehicle.

WOODCLIFF LAKE, N.J., Feb. 3 /PRNewswire/ -- The BMW Group in the U.S. (BMW and MINI combined) reported January sales of 14,314 vehicles, a decrease of 15.5 percent over the 16,935 vehicles sold in the same month of 2008.

"We're in a definite 'toughing it out' mode and this has aided improving our market share this month," said Jim O'Donnell, President of BMW of North America, LLC. "It's meant focusing on the real basics of making sales and we've demonstrated this with our Certified Pre-Owned program continuing to be embraced as a good alternative by our dealers and consumers in the current climate and now we hope to add the momentum of the new 7 Series and Z4 coming out this spring."

Considering this, being 15 percent down was not a roaring start to the year but one we'll take as it still keeps us ahead of overall market momentum."

Looks like Altima sales edged out Accord sales by a hair for Feb 09. For all the bashing by the purists on Azine and other boards, 350Zs seem to be selling well nonetheless.

Best (dare I say only good) looking car currently sold by Acura. A K23A or J32A3 powerplant would relegate the TL and RL into obscurity (and further obscurity for the latter). That said, I see the 2G TSX all the time here in central NJ.

When the manual transmission TL-SHAWD comes out for 2010 as well as the 2010 V6 TSX, then Acura will have a pretty solid combo in the sedan sweet spot.

And ya, the TL's doing pretty well I must say considering it's moved up.
