New things I've learned about the TL:
1) When you turn the key, blue LED's by the maplights illimunate the center console. Pics of this can be found on acura.com's TL site. VERY neat.
2) Aluminum trim is real
3) Headrests tilt forward
4) DVD's can be played while car is in park
5) Suspension on 6-Speed model is stiffer
6) Moonroof switch (finally) is on the roof

Okay, I think that this is a VERY attractive car. Very distinctive. I love it, inside and out. This is gonna destroy the 3-Series in sales and maybe make a run at the C-Class. Or is it the other way around? :thinking:

Anyway, I love the aluminum/gray interior. Styling I'm iffy on. Some angles look good, others look like just a conglomerate of other current production cars.
If we are comparing the TL with 3 series and A4 like mentioned above in this thread, give me the german cars. I don't care if they don't have as much power. RWD and AWD are sweet, and I love the styling of the latter two much more over the TL. Reliability of the Acura I'm sure will be > than the germans, but oh well.

The '04 TL looks very promising, so the 330i PP is not set in stone just yet.

Overall very nice, but I dislike the read-end. I hate cars which have the plate in the trunk lid... like the 95-98 TL and current RL. The rear-end treatment of the 99-03 TL is MUCH nicer. Other than that, looks great. I'll pass though.
