Just an FYI for those that thought I was merely an Acura troller, I picked up my Starfire Pearl with Flaxen today. Not sure if I can post pictures cuz of my probation.

Just want to say WOO HOO

Nice! Congrats! You're now a man. LOL

That was my first choice in color but couldn't get it in a timely manner. I opted for SF Pearl with black interior.

I was in the same situation on the last day of the month at the dealer and they were pushing the SF Pearl on me with black interior and there wasn't a chance. Had to wait a month and half for the flaxen,

Thank you, my friend! I was lucky that they happened to have this baby on the reserve lot. It has basically every option... I have much to learn.. err to play with.

I have broken the news to A-zine.. since they are up in arms over the new TLX and lack of direction for Acura, I had a good opening to duck out.

It was hard to hand the keys to the TL over. That thing sure is pretty, it is going to make someone really happy. I have moved on up, to the eastside..

Congrats! I have same color combo its incredible I often find myself staring at it in my driveway. I too traded in my Acura TL SH-AWD for the gs350 Unlike you I was very disappointed in it. It handled well but ride was really hard felt like I was going to loose a kidney everytime I hit a pothole, seats were very uncomfortable, finishes were very cheap and felt like a maxima had a more luxurious interior Needless to say I didnt look back when I traded it in, no more Acura for me. Enjoy your new GS hopefully you will soon feel the same way I do about it.

Thank you! I liked the looks and stance of the TL mostly. I had started a new job recently and the street the company is on is in bad shape.. I was getting my butt kicked in that stiff ride.. I agree, it's way too stiff and harsh... I know I am going to love this car!!
