Wrong! The correct answer is, C.

Case in point: The all-new 2004 Audi A8L lists ventilated seats as an option! Why the hell should a car in the low to mid 30's offer ventilated seats as standard equipment? I don't think it should even be an option--Acura prides itself in selling a fully-equipped car with "navigation as the only option." In the case of the new RL you could argue that ventilated seats should be an option, we'll see, but definitely not on the TL. And btw, the fact that the seats are already perforated hardly justifies a $1,000+ price increasement. :P

Now, for the moment of truth.

Did you really know that, or did you figure the answer had to be what seemed like the most ridiculous choice, which it was?

Ok, but it would be nice, and would break the segment as a first.

no big deal, only a fan that sucks in cold air and an inflateable bladder to keep the air flowing.

Okay--an easy question about the TL...

All of the "aluminum" trim in the 2004 TL is...

A.) ALUMINUM--that stuff they makes soda cans out of
B.) PLALUMINUM--it's the Acura way to make it LOOK real

I'm glad it's real. I really hate all the fake brushed aluminum in the Infiniti cars and the Mazda6. They make soda cans from this stuff, how expensive can it be?

Okay...try this...maybe a little more difficult? Off the top of your head...no searching for answers

The Acura TL features a premium ELS 8-speaker sound system. Which of the following locations are there NO speakers?

A.) The center of the dash
B.) The front doors
C.) The back doors
D.) The A-Pillar area
E.) The rear shelf

Was this one too easy?

Agreed, the Nissan/infinit product just looks like painted plastic (which it is). I remember reading the TL is alluminum

OK, what color LED lights up when a DVD-A or CD is in the 6 disk changer of the ELS system?

PS - I wrote the locations in an edit of my last answer - I guess corner of dash could be AREA
