I like the G35 Sedans MUCH better, the coupe is just overrated. Its not that great.
the sedan is really nice, with a spolier and an aero kit with navi you'll be pimpin
they also have the 6sp Sedan with 300hp now and sport suspension..omg what a car. DEF take it over the TL ANNYY day

Coupe is overrated? Cripes man, that thing is one of the best looking cars in it's class (or any class for that matter). Now I'm actually looking for a sedan so don't get me wrong. But the coupe is at least one notch better looking than the sedan

I like the TL's interior/exterior. I don't like the TL's FWD.

I am glad that Lexus is starting to get away from the stereotyping that people put on it's drivers that everyone presumes. ie.....the older ES, GS, and LS lines.

In my humble opinion, at these levels, I'd really shy away from the fwd. As good as the TL looks and performs, it will always be a fwd understeering/torque steering car. I think if handling is a high priority, one has to really look at the rwd options.
Or maybe move up to the awd RL

I've only owned 2 rearwheel drive cars, but have driven quite a handful. The two were a Nissan Truck, and an 85 200sx, which I had for only a month or so when I was 16. So I couldn't qualify these as enough time spent behind the wheel of one to get a good impression.

No matter what Acura does to their TL, it will always be fwd and have torque steer. They can make it approach good handling but there's no way you can get away from the physics of it. Drive a 330IS or a G35 coupe

What advantages over this particular TL testdrive would I have felt with a rearwheel drive vehicle.

You are right, I'd take a 330i also. Mostly because they cost $10 grand more for the same options.
But for the handling thing, most if not all tests, show the G was right there, if not better handling than the bmw. #s wise. BMW gets the nood with the magazine's "feel" whatever the hell that means.

THANK-YOU.
Plus, IMHO, a 330i is 10000x sexier
