Whats your point though?
Handling-wise, I think it'll take the G...

The few i have driven (probably 3 or 4) all felt like they had significantly more push in the corners than my car and the other Gs i have driven. But thats my personal preference.

Not this first year, but I'm certain I read that you can next year. I really liked the TL quite a bit. Very smooth ride, lots of interior room, lots of power, definitely a step up from the G in luxury. But all that nice stuff couldn't overcome the FWD and the fun factor a G has that an Acura doesn't. And now that they have SH-AWD, I'd reconsider it, but that front end is so gawd-awful ugly, I'd miss my G35 every time I drove it.

I agree. They ruined the look with the redesign. They should have just did some subtle changed.

Then again, I think Infiniti ruined the FX with it's redesign. It looks like snoopy now

The new Acura has a very nice interior. But that exterior is so... bloated looking. I'll take a 2nd gen G or a BMW 3 over that..

LOL. I gotta watch this!

I think we're one of the only forums where everyone would just call out other people one the SAME forum like Mike said.
Then it would probably just degrade into a fist fight

Funny stuff, and not that far from the truth. We pesky colonists were accused of all kinds of illegal and unethical tactics during the Rev War. You know, not standing in a proper line, hiding behind trees, sneaking up on the British, even shooting officers for god's sake!
