"Thus, the 2004 Acura TL, which, according to the company's marketing manager, Dave Gardner, is meant to appeal to buyers in the mid-40s age group, as opposed to the 53-and-up buyers who purchased the previous generation of TL."
WHAT?? i am 53 and up? LOL .. most TL's i see/know are driven by much younger people 53 and up = RL

Actually, a lot of 53+ buyers are out there. Most of them find the RL too big and boring
Thats my Dad's opinion on the RL too, plus he said.. Why should I pay $45k when I can get a TL for $26k ?"

Ya, Almost all the TL's I see on the road are driven by Old Farts..
Enthusiasts are like 5-10% of the TL's Buyers, thats why the Auto will sell more than 6-Speed..

I'm an enthusiast but HAVE to buy an automatic because the wife has to able to drive the car in a pinch (e.g. if I have knee surgery again, which has actually happened). I'm sure as hell not buying $33k manual for my wife to tear up as I teach her!!!!
You guys are right, too, most TLs I see on the road are driven by older people. In fact, the only young people I know with TLs are on the various TL boards! (I'm 35, in case you're wondering.)
bbb, you're right too--I can't stand to see the TL driven like a snail when it has this rev-loving engine under the hood...
