I took the time to go to a Honda dealer to look at their wood steering wheels. Saw the Accord charcoal color one right out of the box. It was mint but Im not sure if the leather is dark enough to match ours. Also found out the oddessy has matching wood wheels too. What the F&*k is Acura's problem?

Relax! I think the Honda one will fit our TL's, but not sure. Not to rub it in your face but I'm glad I got mine from Snook before he discontinued selling them.

Sure, but available for the Accord first? That's not too nice to us TL guys. What if the Accord got the 225hp 3.2 first?

Sheee, the TL is already the ugly duckling w/o the 6-in-dash changer in the family. Maybe the 2002 TL will discontinue VTEC and it will only be on the Accord! Waaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

He He! Couldn't agree more.

I saw the wheels they are nice but the color isn't an exact match. Maybe the Odessey wheel comes in ebony. It just doesn't make sense why they continue to improve the other cars like the accord have more accessories for cars lie the MDX but do nothing for our TL.

AC

The only thing I can think of is that the Accord is chasing the Camry and the Odessy is chasing the Caravan (I think) so they have to improve in order to attract more buyes and put them in the #1 spot. Look at the TL, yes when it first came out it was chasing the Lexus ES300 and the Infiniti I30. The TL is at the top of the food chain in its class so they don't have to improve the car until it gets knocked off the #1 spot. IMO

Calm down guys, Calm Down, First of all those chrome wheels are hella ugly, you can't put a black center on a chrome wheel! Second of all you guys paid more for your car, and you have and "A" on decklid, they don't everyone knows you paid more for your cars and thats all that matters, let them have thier stupid wheel and let them think they have a nice luxury car. But they'll never have and "A" will they? Actually i think the Odyssey isn't chasing the Caravan, it's won every comparison it's been in against the Caravan, the new Caravan was actually chasing after Odyssey, for once.

To tell the truth I don't care if I have a L on the hood for loser. I'm not out to impress. The fact is they get fogs a six disc changer, a lether/wood trimmed steering wheel, the same chrome rims we have( not the one pictured) a glass breakage sensor, Full leather seats! etc. The only thing we have that they cant is Navi and .2 liters. To me that is an insult. If I brought a non navi I would be pissed that an accord can be just as luxurios if not more so than an acura. I Things like a matching steering wheel or glass breakage sensors shouldn't be the mods I add to make my car different. I expect to have those things. Don't get me wrong I will get what I want and make my TL the way it should be but its a lot of f*(^^&% trouble and too much time.

By the way AC can you post a pic of your steering wheel?

You think an Accord can be as luxurious as a TL? Clearly, you've never driven one, or even sat in one. The TL outclasses the Accord in every way that counts; Power, ride, NVH, style, space. The TL feels like it should cost $10,000 more than an Accord, not $4,000.

As nice as the Accord is, and as many gizmos as Honda heaps onto it, it ain't no TL! Not even close...

Well... not $4K but more like $6K. A friend of mine recently purchased a TL for $27K and while looking at other cars was given a $21K price on the top of the line V6 Accord.
I know that Accord has more interior room than the TL does by EPA numbers. And as far as style is concerned they are very similar and you can make a case for either of them.

Just my 2 cents...

This is correct the Accord does not have NVH,or the suspension of the TL the TL is built much better.I keep telling people to look at the Tech Specs this is what we paid for the stuff we can't see.

screw that, the MDX wood wheel works on TL.
