I would definitely buy another Acura, of course depending on whether or not they came out with something that I liked. The service and quality have been fine overall. I've had no major complaints.

I would buy another Acura/Honda. It's been a good car with very little problems and the service has been very good compared to other companies. Actually, I'm looking to buy a used NSX right now...

Well, I know I'm gonna hear it from you guys!

If another TL, yes. Other Acuras, No.

The RL is not stacked up like other luxus, plus Acura service sucks compared to Lexus, BMW, MB, Audi, damn, even Infiniti. The NSX, though a pretty car, way overpriced (rather get a real sports car ie 911 ), CL/CL-S don't really like the styling, Integra (please!) Another TL, especially the forthcoming TL-S (oh yeah, I've already called the dealer and asked if I can get on the waiting list...they tought I was on crack since they don't know what the hell is going on).

My 2 pennies!

I have 3 years left on my cl-s and i guess the next acura I will buy will probvally be for m y wife. I really am very happy with my cl-s but everytime I seee a Expidetion on the road, i wish i had one. Not really instead of the acura, but also. I love them both. I gues sin 3 years the TL -s typew will be out and If my wife or if i have one i should say wants it, thats what i will get her. Ill take the expedition and stomp shit up all day long. i bet ill miss my cl-s after its gone though.

Yeah, i would get a German car like a Benz or BMW if i can afford the car itself and maintenance. But for now, Acura is the best deal out there. Especially the TL..... But TWO things, Acura does have thin/cheap paint and the TL has NO FOGS!!! That sucks!!!

hmmm....this is a tough one...
although my first instinct is to automatically say YES!
I have had a lot of minor problems with my TL....and if i'm gonna have as many minor problems as BMW's electrical problems...then I wouldn't want another one...
but...being that this is MY first car...I love it!
and I probably would buy another ACURA...being that the next one will be an NSX!! heh heh

I bought the Integra LS when it first came out (86 or 87)and loved it. Three years later it had 100k miles and I needed a four door with the arrival of our first child. It was sold and I bought a Volvo 740Turbo wagon. After 200k miles on it, I sold it. Bought a Celica as a daily commuter and have been waiting for the TL-S. Seems imminent. Its what I am waiting for. Was pleased with prior experience with Acura and have test driven the TL several times. Actually, I had to prior my oldest son out of the back seat last time he liked it so much. (kid has taste)

I drove an Integra in 88' through a snow storm in Vermont. Snow was over the front bumper while we were driving. I thought it was the best car I've ever driven at the time. Of course my TL is at the top of the list now....but those memories linger. I would buy another without question, maybe the new MDX. Drove the hell out of one when I bought my TL. Loved it.

I would definately buy another one. I have a TL, my father has a CL-S, my mother is going to order a MDX at some point, and I am most likely going to get a TL-S next summer.

Most likely NOT.
I would probably go for something German... providing I will have $50K - $70K more when my wife goes back to work.
If I'd only need one car for the family as now, I would probably go with an Audi Allroad Quattro - $50K or a BMW 540iA Sport Wagon - $60K or maybe just maybe I consider a Saab 9-5 Aero Wagon - $45K
But if my wife would want a car an I'll need a second car the choices will be an Acura MDX for the wife and for myself I'd definitely get a convertible, probably a BMW 330Ci Convertible - $50K or, if it's out, a BMW M3 Convertible - $60K or a Mercedes-Benz CLK430 Convertible - $65K or a Saab 9-3 Viggen Convertible - $45K or a Volvo C70 LT Convertible - $45K.........
It's nice to dream once in a while... but all things considered it's not that far out... I am talking about one car for the family.... I'll start convincing my wife now and in a couple of years I'll put in my order for a... (see above)....

I did by another Acura - my TL! (I used to own an Integra, way back when...)

I would definitely consider another Acura of the TL's quality and value. But I'd also consider lots of other cars. No Fords, though - My Contour SE was total crap.

It's funny Ghost saying he'd consider a Benz if he made $70,000. You must live somewhere cheap, or not own a house, or have a family, or... I'm way over that income, and it ain't paying for a Benz for me!

I will probably stick with Honda.. my first was a CRX for 6 years, then the Accord I still have, and the TL. If their streak of quality keeps going down with the P.O.S. american laborers, I might consider jumping ship, but for technology and engineering, I'll stay, they do kick ass.

And I love running my car off the fumes of the other stinky crap out there.. love that LEV TL. And this years Accord is SULEV.. GM, eat your heart out.

I've always been a Honda/Acura fan. I've had...

93 Prelude;
97 Prelude; and
00 TL.

I'll probably get another Honda/Acura when the time comes to trade in my TL.

The TL, is my second Acura. But the first new car I've ever had.

It is also the 4th car in the Honda/Acura family. I've owned a 89 Prelude, 91 Legend, 95 Accord(still got it) and now the TL. I wouldn't consider getting anything else other then Acura. Maybe Benz S500(if I had the loot). But my next Acura in 3-5 years will be the NSX.
