TL-S dark rims look like crap. ![Thumb Down](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/thumbsdown.gif)
Overall the car looks too busy and awkward to me.
Awesome interior though.
But I think there's better way to spend the same money.

Unless this is their sneaky backhanded way of getting people to buy RLs ... hmmmmmm

i like the quad pipes. after all it's some kind of cosmetic stuff anyway. most of the chances on the car i like them. except the seats, they look pretty weird

I can see how someone would buy a TL-S over an IS350 due to:
1) More room (i.e., useful back seat)
2) Better performance in snow
3) Cheaper similarly equipped
However, I don't see a lot of compelling reasons to get a TL-S over a 2007 G35x. The G35x will probably have better performance, similar room, better performance in snow, and maybe a couple thousand more expensive.

At this point, I can see people buying it over the ES 350 b/c they want a sportier look. Over the IS350? It must be for non performance based reasons.

By snow "performance" I don't mean performance as in pushing the car, but just general driveability.

The IS350 trumps the acura on performance and luxury equipment and it already scored much higher than the TL in the car and driver comparo and that IS350 was a prototype.
