I agree. I'm the 2nd owner of my TL, and the TL not having any stand-alone options made it MUCH easier to compare various used TLs I was considering.

Ha ha, I've said it before and will say it again. I see no evidence that the steadily increasing model variation have improved customer satisfaction in any way.

It seems that most of the menufacturers don't care about good handling, sport suspension - they just load these cars with tech gadgets that not
everyone wants.

My main hope for this car is that they improve the horrible turning radius of 3G/4G TLs. The 3G, 4G TLs have a turning radius that is far worse than Toyota Sienna. I guess the huge front overhang is partially to blame for this. I hope TLX handles like a true sports sedan and can turn on a dime.

Nailed it. I didn't even think of this when I got mine. Any other car other car would have been a pain.

For a car of its size (3G), it should definitely have a better turning radius. I didn't even realize this until now. A lot of times when I'm backing up or maneuvering around something, I bottom out, where I wouldn't in another car.
