Dang, 1115, looks like you’re finally going to have to upgrade to CDs.

The Murano (Which I rented last month) required the key to be put in then the brake had to be pressed in order for the car to start up. Once again you are a liar

I like the NEW NSX from what I have seen and that car qualifies as a Dream Car

We certainly do everytime we read a comment authored by yourself.

“The last TL was the #2 entry level luxury sedan behind the 3 series.”

As usual you are off on the facts. The TL hasnt been #2 for quite some time. Its currenty being outsold by the G35, CTS and C class. Not to mention the 3 series of course. Only an idiot wouldn’t consider the CTS to be competition for the TL. Based on Acura’s odd design it appears they overlooked the CTS as well. You dont exclude cars that are outselling your bread and butter model by a nice margin.

“The insert a key thing is the same thing that Nissan has with their cars. ”

Wrong again. The Altima’s system doesnt require you to take the transponder out of your pocket. You just push down on the brake and hit the start button. BMW uses the lame system that Acura uses and many reviews have questioned the point of such a system. You might as well use a key if you have to insert a fob into the dash.

Also, I am tired of people saying “it will sell” as if that proves something. The 7 series sold well for a year or two but BMW still revised the styling to make it less ugly. The Aztec sold for about 4 years. The Avalon sells to this day in spite of being odd looking. The real question is will this car outsell its key competitors like CTS and C class. I wouldnt put money on that. The current TL is still an attractive car and yet it’s sales have dropped big time in the latter half of it’s life cycle.

43k is not affordable. It’s more affordable than 100k, but the average person makes less than 43k per year, meaning Acura had better not drop the lease option like BMW did.

This car will sell. I don’t like it, but I’m just one guy.

Can I cut a bagel with it?

we are not haters… we just like to ridicule… where ridicule is due!!!

btw what is a hater? isn’t that 14 year old chat-speak?

If you think the GS is one of the best looking cars on the road than perhaps you would find this car attractive. Otherwise its a mixture of ugly and typical cliched Japanese car styling cues. The rear flank looks just like a GS and has an ungainly expanse of sheetmetal between the decklid and the rear fenders. The grille is terrible but its not the only problem. Unlike the current car, 17″ wheels look too small on the 2009 model. Also, the rear end is just as ugly as the front end. The interior looks no higher quality than that of the Accord and once again Acura has no real wood or metal inside. The interiors of the CTS and A4 are superior to this car. Only the G35 has something to worry about from an interior perspective.

Engineering-wise, Honda/Acura produce great vehicles for the money, but their designs actually make them unappealing to anyone with taste. Of course, there is a large market of tasteless bastards out there.

Take away the grill and this car is pretty good looking imo. I think the pics make it look a bit squashed, in reality I bet this car has a nice wide stance like the last one and the interior certainly looks top notch. Techy like an Infiniti but quiet like a Lexus.
