lol thanks guys! the F is really a whole different car. im glad i live close to mulholland and the santa monica mountains i am sure i will be visiting those a lot more now my TL was so hard to drive in the canyons between FWD and body roll it sucked.... thats even after stiffening my sways and suspension.

i actually have nothing but good remarks on my acura never had it break down never anything wrong with the car and has always been there to get me home

i actually think that my old TL's interior and technology is still far ahead of many new cars out there even possibly the 2011 ISF's My TL is an 07 and has everything that the ISF has and a few more things lol.

But there is no doubt the lexus is performance oriented and a fun machine!

Can't wait to start modding and taking her to shows

probably because of reliability people like acuras and lexus for the reliability factor but when they want a sports car acura does not offer anything so we jump over to the Lexus ISF.... that was my reason

That was exactly my reason, I wanted a sports car that had more space than my coupe, more speed, more luxury, and still the same reliability... the F has it all.

Yup, techwise I think Acura is little ahead. BUT, overall Lexus is the more respected brand. Acura has taken a beating lately because of their bland offerings. Your TL was the best Acura had to offer. It's an identity crisis after that.
