Who here owns more than just one Acura?!
For the longest time my wife and I argued about who's car was better...
I with a 2006 TL (AM Manual, non-NAV) and she with a 2006 BMW 330i (loaded, I mean everything you can imagine besides the sport package)...
She always told me about how her German car was so much more SOLID and better than my Japanese (well Ohio-en) vehicle.
She always made it known that her car was GERMAN engineered and thus (apparently) superior.
Her BMW was the greatest thing in the world...
Okay, so I won't hate completely. The thing drove damn nice... But it was a POS in my humble opinion.
It was falling apart super quick, especially as soon as the warranty was over. I could hear her start it on the third floor of our townhouse when she was on the first. Everything and then some was starting to fall apart... Especially the interior!!!
Anyways, you all are probably wondering where I am going with this...
We bought a 2010 MDX with Tech Package the other day. AND we traded the bimmer in.
I couldn't be happier!
I am OBSESSED with the MDX. Holy crap the tech package is unbelievable!!!
So my original question is how many of you own more than one Acura?
I love the way my garage looks now!!!

I own two 3G TL's, both with Nav. Mine's an '04 manual and my wife's is an '05 automatic. Hers replaced her previous car, with was a 1996 BMW 328i. That car cost a lot in the time we had it. Seems like something was always going heywire.

Keep Right Except to Pass
I have a 2004 TL and Ms1995hoo has a 2003 RSX Type-S. I suppose since we are not (yet) married that means I don't have more than one Acura, but it's close enough to count since I gave her the car for her birthday in 2005.
I had a 1986 Legend with the 5MT back in the 1990s. Didn't see many 5MT Legends out there.
My father lives about 20 minutes away and he owns two Acuras (a 2004 TSX and an older RL, I think a 1999 but I'm not sure).

My 2004 6MT TL now has 100K on it and we also have a 2009 CMBS RL.
Previous Acuras include a 98 RL, my favorite 95 Legend 6-speed coupe and a 1990 Integra GS.
I am sold on the brand, but wish they would get rid of the "happy face" front end.

Three Wheelin'
yes, german cars seem to be more solid.
When driving my audi on the freeway it feels like its really glued to the road.
With the Acura it feels to soft while cruising. Like if a gust of wind came through I might lift off.
both cars on stock suspension.

Mine don't feel like that; especially my '04 manual since its suspension is a little more firm than the '05 automatic. And I can tell you that my wife's former 328i is not a car I would want to take on a long road trip. My '04 TL just flat moves down the road better.

For a few years we had a 86 Integra and 89. Now there's a 03 Pilot (EX, RES) and 05 TL (6MT non-Nav) in the garage.

My family (mostly my dad) always seem to end up buying acuras.
We have a 99TL-P that I drove in high school (it's now dead on our driveway.. bad fuel pump? not worth fixing to us.)
I now drive an 05 TL.
And the weekend my 99 died my dad went and paid cash for a 2010 TL.
So yea, we like TL's.

2 Acura's, 1 Honda and I was going to buy a third Acura but the dealership didn't want to budge on a new RL for 2k above msrp...
Honda products and Acura products are built pretty solid for the most part. I had only 1 rattle on my MDX and none so far on the Honda. As well fit and finish has gotten better every year with new models!
