An Acura covert here as well, and a current AZine member.

Had a 2012, purchased in 2011, Acura TL SH-AWD with Tech Pack. Loved the drive and the SH-AWD, but the faulty propeller shaft was too much of a hassle. Replaced 3 of them and sounded like the 4th replacement was in order. Other than that, I had some good memories in that vehicle.

Moving to a GS AWD was definitely a step up for me. Everything feels more refined and upscaled. Since TL was front wheel dominant and the GS is rear wheel, there is a bit quick feel to the GS. Time will tell how great the Lexus AWD system is in snow, SH-AWD was phenomenal on ice. But nevertheless, so far, I am enjoying the Lexua quality.

 

I had 2011 SH-AWD 6MT, that was a great car, never had any issues though... switched to GS350 RWD and kind regret it, should've got AWD.

 

Same here. Just sold my 06 TSX and picking up a white 350 F Sport this Friday. The TSX, to me, was the perfect salesmans car as it was great on mileage, loaded with navi, and finish/trim was excellent. Not to mention, unlike the TL which was made here in the states, the TSX was made it Japan and badges a Honda. Reliability on that car was phenomenal.

I'd previously owned a 94 Legend, 96 Integra, 01 S2000, and an 03 350Z. The decision go with the Lexas was based on the total package compared to others in this category. I was close to going with the IS but in the end wanted the larger interior and cooled seats.
