My friend's sister has that car. Everything about it is smooth. Even the engine and tranny is smoother than my car. I really like it!

Looks nice, I had one of this Acura TL model, the 3.2 litre version
I think this one is the 5 cylinder 2.5 TL.

Looks clean. I wish Acura stick with the name such as Legend or Intregra instead of the RL, TL, RS or whatever.

I believe this was back in the day when they still mounted their engines longitudely instead of transverse. It think they had fairly descent balance for FWD.

yup! the TL, RL, and Legend all had their engine mounted longitudinally for better weight distribution, and virtually no torque steer since the driveshafts are equal lengths!
