For a while, it seemed like everyone was trading in their Acura for a BMW 3-series.

The G35/37 seems to be another popular car here.

What are you thinking of getting?

(see sig)

people in Ramblings and Car talk who no longer own Acuras are different though.... I guess they just move on to other cars. Some people in the main forums are so biased that I almost don't want to bother going back.

I still have an Acura! Although lately there hasn't been too much that interests me going on in Ramblings, I've had to journey off into TL-Lala-land.

Got rid of the CL-S few months back and got an '08 A4 Avant. I do own another Acura though, '98 Integra GS-R Sedan. Unfortunately none of the new Acura models are pleasing to me, so I went back in time and bought the Integra. The Integra I picked up in January is my 2nd Integra, and 3rd Acura I've owned. So far, 3 of the 4 cars I've owned have been Acura's but that ratio will change greatly if Acura doesn't wake up already.

I still own the acura I bought new

When its time for another car I probably won't be going with an acura however. Wow did the local acura salesman get ticked when I told him that
I told him I don't like that they don't offer a coupe (even though im probably gonna need a sedan for kids soon) and I HATE the look of the new grills.

Ill probably be one azine for life

How long were you in AA? I would imagine so many of us grew to love AA that kicking the habit has been a struggle. But once the habit is kicked, the beauty of so many other automobiles designs open your eyes. So when's the next Acura Anonymous meeting?

@ AA. I still own other Honda products...(one is a motorcycle).

I find the Honda products > Acura products IMHO.

As far as my personal car, I don't think I am going back to Acura for a very, very, very long time...if ever. Ownership experience combined with a very odd (dare I say ulgy) line-up of cars makes Acura very unattactive for me.

Life after an Acura....less time at the dealership for repairs. Less breakdowns. Less headaches.

I miss my Acura, but I'm quite happy that I moved on.

Ramblings FTMFW! So i guess i'm in the non-acura majority.



<-------------


btw, azine>rennlist>6-speed online lol. I spend an inordinate amount of time on azine compared to the other forums. i guess i'm not as interested talking about my rolex datejust or baume&mercier watches as i am posting in D&R rofl.
