Why did you choose those three cars? It would help to know why you picked them.

Are you buying new or used? If it's used, sometimes it's the available selection that will make more of a determination.

It's not only how much it snows though. Seattle has a lot of hills. My Jeep 4x4 couldn't make it up some of the hills here with BFG ATs. And because our winters aren't as cold, snow doesn't last very long. Hard to justify buying a new set of wheels and use them for a day or two at a time. Black ice is also a bit of a problem here as well.

We looked at all three and chose the Lexus for the reliability , fuel economy and much better interior. My wife didn't even want to look at the TL because the front is so ugly. She drove a 2004 mdx that she loved.

Yeah I think Acura f-ed up the TL... I'm sure its sales have decreased. IMO the TL looks the same on both sides... you don't know if it's the front or the back you're looking at. Congrats on your choice

I think Acura started down hill when they screwed up the design of the legend and renamed it the RL

I think the 250 is more comparable to the new g25 coming out and the tsx. The 350 is more suited to be compared to those cars just my opinion.

If it's AWD, I take the new TL SH AWD (the look could be iffy to some folks), but I'm willing to look past that (big honda/acura fan). However, if the wife came into the equation, the TL looks maybe enough to look else where - Honda/Acura needs to make better looking cars.

Acura's messed up big time with the current model TL's. Test drive all three and then post what you liked and didn't like and we can give you our input then. GL
