One thing I want to mention about the 5.5G Max or I35 is that they have horrible gas mileage and they have a Huge turning radius and also torsion beam rear suspension.
My parents have an I35 and it's been rock solid. I'd recommend that over a '03 TL any day.

The turning radius is really inconvenient, and it has some outdated features (4 speed automatic, CD based navigation) but we skipped the navigation to mitigate that.

My parents have averaged about 24-25 mpg over the life of the car in 70/30 highway/city driving.

Definitely a major thread resurrection. But just to follow up on this topic, the wife and I made do with the MDX only (yup! one vehicle) from the time of the minivan's unfortunate demise until this past November when I picked up a 2012 Accord EX (4 cylinder).



It's not exactly in the ballpark of the two cars in question performance-wise. But, it makes up for it in fuel economy.

I'd post more pics but, what's the point? It looks like every other black on black 11-12 Accord EX sedan out there.

Thank you. One thing I will add though: the interior feels far more spacious than my old 07 AV6 sedan. Being able to reach my daughter in her car seat is far more difficult in the 12 than in the 07.
