TL is EXCELLENT in snow.

TL's of all years in fact.

There are only two Honda/Acura vehicles "bad" in snow...

The S2000 and NSX, I think you know why

Oh and make sure you take it easy, while the TL's are good in snow, its still driver dependent (and tire dependent)

It's the loaner car so I don't need anything happening...I will not be driving fast at all.
The last thing I need is my dad flying out here to kick my ass because I fucked up the loaner car.
And it's just stock tires. I'm sure there will be a good amount of snow on the ground, plowing isn't that great up there.

You should be fine if you've driven in snow before.

It wasn't bad at all.

Actually I was rather impressed.

The only part of the trip that was a little scary was the 5-10 miles heading uphill where it was sleeting/freezing rain.

Other than that it was good.

I will post pics in ramblings later.

it's always nice to go from 69 degrees and be in snow 1.5 hrs later.

I never had trouble with the CD except for pulling out of my parking spot after it sat overnight, sometimes it took 2-3 tries rocking it fwd/reverse. Once on the road, it was very solid.

We'll see how my TSX does... something tells me I'll miss the CL's heavy front.
