I just drove 250 miles on I95 CT-NY round trip in heavy rain storm past weekend.
Compare to previous 2006 FWD TL.... X is a beast in wet roads.

I was able to maintain 70-80MPH in heavy rain without any issues.

I drove around 100 miles the other day during the bad rainstorm we got and when i parked my radiator was smoking!...smoke was literally bellowing out of the grill...never saw that before...the engine gauge in the dash showed everything was normal...should i be worried?

If you're going to Northern VA, you should definitely go to The Peking Gourmet Inn. BEST Peking duck in the WORLD - believe me I've tried the best in Beijing.

They have bullet proof windows b/c a lot of famous people go. But it's not that expensive.

Yum, I'm salivating just thinking about it.
