From a dealer...Hilarious, at least for me, hope you like!

Dealer:
Hey, Do you have other color choices on the TL. The 06 is not offered in the white, only in black, grey, silver and blue. Let me know how I can help you. Thanks,

Me:
Strange, according to the Acura.com site it is offered in White/Tan.

Here's a link. http://www.acura.com/bap/bap_step2....UDED=&REQUIRED=

Dealer:
If you look at the square under the color white it is crossed out, meaning it is not available. Believe me I would tell you if it was.

Thanks,

Me:

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The crossed out square indicates that you've checked it, that it's available.

That just means he didn't have any white ones and wanted you to buy a color he had on the lot

Yeah, dealers like to move their stock as opposed to transferring from another dealer or ordering one special.

I had a conversation with a dealer that told me the car was not available with a hood and trunk since it could not be selected on the "build your own" section of the site.

Damn 5 min edit rule.

Actually, there is no WDP if you choose the High Performance tire option; only Blue, Black, Silver and Antracite. Otherwise you get the full choice of colors for all the other choices.

Weird.

but only for the 6sp manual with HP tires... and 6sp manual w/HP tires + navi... They are only available in Royal Blue Pearl, Alabaster Silver Metallic, Nighthawk Black Pearl, and Anthracite Metallic...

The other models are available in all the normal color choices...

i guess they are trying to distinguish the sportier models from the rest...

Yea, I corrected myself.

Kinda stupid if you ask me. WDP is a sexy color, and more sporty than Eternal Blue

black and dark green are the way to go if you detail your car right, nothing is sexier!

when i was buying my cl, they told me black on black, 6 speed, nav and spoiler(which they instal at the dealers) wasnt available for 6 weeks minimum, but white and anthracite were "just as good and available immediately"
went to another dealer and i got the car in 3 days, that was shipped in from another dealer in state.

For a while Honda wouldn't do blue for my car. There is no blue for a 98-02 V6 Accord, only the I4.
