Dollar for dollar, the most technologically advanced and best looking car out there IMHO. Rumor has it it will have AWD next year as well. Problem is they are still going for close to sticker. Lady in my office refused to pay sticker and ended up with a 325ix which she loves.

I guess it depends which view you're looking at it from? FWD should be an all around better car then the RWD....better in rain and snow as well. Do you not agree?

Snow tires own RWD, FWD.

I can understand a BMW wannabe that is more reliable but a BMW wannabe with the quality of a BMW, well just save us all a favor and buy the real thing.
Otherwise, the car is a winner.

When you talk about the car being "poorly built", you got to take it in prespective. Yes, I agree that a TL is not built to the same standards as a Lexus LS430 or Infiniti Q45, but I would still take a TL...or any other Acura product.....over its German competition, quality-wise. The difference is like night and day. Even in spite of some questionable transmissions, Consumer Reports still gives Acura products extremely high reliability ratings.

Having ridden (aggressively) both powerful FWD (97' 14 sec ET Nissan Maxima SE 5-speed) as well as "slightly" more powerful RWD car (93' Supra TT 600hp 12 sec ET 6-speed), I can assure you that only the most experienced and skillful of people can take full advantage of the RWD characteristics. Although it is funner and makes for better weight distribution, lauch characteristics, and handling prowness, the disadvantages od oversteering to novices or even intermediates is worse than for understeering, torque laden FWD platforms like the TL.
I can assure you that in my test drive this past weekend at the Lexus Tase of Lucury of event in Oakland, the TL i drove had far better manners and was easier and safer to drive than 90% of the vehicle on the course. Mind you, I'm no GT pro, but have done my fair share of AutoX and Track events. Only the nimblest of cars like the 330 and IS i drove there were funner....It surprised me how much technological advancement Honduh has made to the FWD platform, but as evident by the torque steer (which is easily handled), it is at its envelope now where they have to go to AWD (SH-AWD)...
