Ohhh haha, yeah I just can't see myself in a Supra though. It would kind of tarnish the professional image. I'm growing out of my boy racerness[8D] Next sports car will hopefully be a C6 like nanaki just picked up.

Well sarge I took your advice A not so subtle preview of the new ride.

I'll get better pics tomorrow with my camera instead of my cell phone.

Some better pics and a short review I wrote up on the IS forums:

07 Acura TL-Type S













Initial impressions:
I haven't had the chance to drive the car a whole lot, but I can tell that it will take some getting used to for me to make the switch to FWD. Steering is stiff and requires some muscle, but the car handles very very well. It's got a much stiffer ride than the standard TLs I test drove but it's still more comfortable than the ride was on my IS. Braking is absolutely phenomenal thanks to the front Brembos; that is one thing I really miss about my STi. The car isn't torquey by any means but it's got plenty of power for what I need and the paddle shifters allow you to stay in its powerband (VTAKK). Power delivery is very silky smooth. I think the car has awesome lines (may eventually get the A-spec kit for it) and the exhaust note is probably the best I've ever heard on any Acura.

The absolute best things about the car are the technological gadgets in it, and these were the main reasons why I went with this over the TL. Everything, I mean everything in the car is voice controlled. I ask the car what time it is, it tells me. I ask how to get to South Blvd, it takes me there. Integrated Bluetooth is going to be great for me, the navigation has Zagat 2006 ratings and average menu prices for restaurants and it gets realtime traffic updates and rerouting through XM radio.

I'll put up some more thoughts on it when I drive it some more.

Damn, I didn't know a japanese luxury car could look so mean. Very Nice. Amazing handling car for it's weight and nice power for a luxury car. Good Pick [sm=smiley20.gif]

That same body style, just not the type S version. Thatversion is likely going to be out of my price range and isnt really necessary for me
hahahaha, liar.
