A Pathfinder passed you when you were going 130 mph? Seriously? I didn't think a Pathfinder could go that fast!

Had '06 TSX 6sp for a while and only wished it had 250hp and 200 trq. It would have been a keeper for life. Traded for '10 G37x Sedan and...sure WOW power, but miss alot of things that where better laid out inside the ACURA. Like mentioned previously, wouldn't even consider going to Acura dealership for guillotine Grill = WTF where they think? (It's one thing when a select few have a bad opinion about something, but it's a sure loser when 95% of the automotive community looks the other way) Just hope that the Infiniti has as good if not better reliability.

You do realize they make the new TSX with an optional V6 now, right? Unfortunately, it's not available with the 6MT.

Creepers

believe me, when that douche in the pathfinder crept past me with his toothy grin i thought the same thing!

Had an 04tl, 6spd with nav and as others have said I miss the interior BUT I never liked fwd, timing belts, or modest acceleration. The G seems bigger than the TL but with less room, especially in the trunk. But I do like the performance, I had an 03Z and still have a Cobra replica and all things considered the G37x holds it's own in my opinion.

I had 2 Acuras before moving back to Infiniti. I had a 03 Acura MDX and before that had a 01 CL Type S. loved them both, but every car i get gets better then the last. What u guys thinK??

I have been a Honda/Acura admirer since we bought our first Honda Accord in 1982. We have driven almost nothing but Accords since then. I anxiously awaited the 2009 update of the Acura TSX, thinking that I would buy it.

Unfortunately, I think the previous model (as posted here) was a better car, and I regret not buying it when I had the chance. I test drove the 2010 TL SHAWD and decided it is ugly & bloated, but otherwise a very capable car.

So, I bought a G37S 6MT sedan. I used to think Infiniti was a stodgy brand, but no more. I think Honda/Acura has lost its way.

i had an 05TL 6MT. Loved the car and the styling. really enjoyed owning it but i always wanted more power.

GOt tired of the same ol car and picked up my g37s 6mt. happy with the decision but miss a lot of the civilized aspects of the tl.

On style alone the G should be enough to make anyone buy it. Acuras these days look like something out of a Transformers movie. Like my salesman said about their styling: " What were they thunking?"

zoner

those 01 CL S's were real nice looking when de-badged in the rear.

I still have an 04 TL (now it's my wife's) and I purchased an 09 Blue slate G37x nav. I love the TL, howver in between the TL & G I had a Pilot that was a lemon ( 17 service visits for warranty work in 20 months) and Honda would not help me out, so I was happy that the 09 TL is so ugly that I was not tempted to reward Honda with a sale. I love the G, I have 24KM and have done only rgeular maintenance. I just don't know what Acura was thinking with that "beak" on the TL, it is FUGLY!

Had a 04 TL and loved it until the transmission went out totally and stranded me in East Texas. While it had 120K miles on it, I still expected more out of a Honda product. Despite this, I still miss it a lot. I like the exterior and interior stylings of the TL better than the G, but the power of the G is what sold me. I was/am disappointed by the squeaks and rattles in both cars however. Due to the transmission problem and the looks of the new TL (which make me want to vomit when I see it), I never even considered looking at it when it came time to get a new car.

I dropped a tranny in my CL TYpe S with like 20 k miles, and when i turned it in after 3 years and like 40k mikes, i could have gotten a 3rd tranny. Acura had some serious tranny issues when they 1st started putting the tiptronic auto trannys in. I still loved the car, was my only 2 door car i leased, the rest have been 4 doors.

I recently did a test drive of the 2010 TL SHAWD. It was better than I thought it would be, but I agree: the deal breaker was the grill. If I didn't ever have to look at the front of the car, it might have been tolerable. The grill seems to be smiling at you, and it breaks up the lines of the car. Hard to believe a manufacturer could come up with something so outlandish. Nevertheless, i do occasionally run into apparently intelligent people who have bought the car and like its looks. I guess they are esthetically challenged.
