Unfortunately.....SAD DAY!!

...since I'm having my 1st kid on the way, I couldn't afford to keep the G35 Coupe 6MT anymore(need more room )...As of yesterday night, I traded it in and got me an 2005 Acura TL w/Navi w/ A-Spec Kit as a daily-driver....


btw, I still have a Injen CAI for an 03-04 6MT Coupe for sale, so if you want it, let me know and I'll sell it for $170/shipped!!!

You traitor! Thats a great car. I seriously looked at it before buying the G but in the end, RWD > FWD in So-cal. Good luck.

I really dont blame him for not getting the G sedan
G sedan has the better engine and drivetrain but the TL is the better car

I think we all have to agree that the TL looks way better than the G35 sedan, if i were in his place, id have done the same thing

Two very good friends of mine have TLs and both hate them, one is even getting rid of his and he only had it 1 year. They both say the ride and power are terrible compared to the G. To give you an idea how much my one friend hates his TL, his GF has a G sedan and they take that everywhere with her driving. He would rather let his GF drive her car then take his TL, not many guys willing to give up driving duties. I agree with the looks but the few times that I was in one it just didn't have a very sporty feel to it considering its marketed to that customer segment. Drove like any typical family sedan.

I paid invoice on my TL....but I convinced them to give me 6 months of free XM radio and an A-Spec bodykit on the car....so I figured it was a steal..and they gave me a unbelievable $32K trade-in....I had 16K miles on my coupe 6MT...
