Genesis still.

G37 is long in the tooth and due for a re-design imo.

If the Acura was the Hyundai and the Hyundai was the Acura, would we be having this conversation?

Don't buy into the name.

You have to take resale value into account. Over and over you hear, get this one, there's too many of that one on the road. Ask yourself, maybe there's a reason why there's so many Acuras/Hondas out there? I'm sure people aren't just getting them just for the name (mind you, there are the groups of people who are all "~!~zomg honda ftw!!")

Just think about if you're gonna lease/finance, how long you plan on keeping it for, looks, performance, reliability, features you want, your own personal preference, etc..

Jot down points from each perspective and it'll become clear which is the better choice for you. I had this debate with myself when I was choosing between an S2k and a 350z. :D (I should say it doesn't help to think "I want apples, but I like oranges." I had that problem.) So really think through where your hard earned money is going to go to :thumbsup:

Genesis all the way .... the TL is so FUGLY that grill makes it look like a smiling pig...oh and from the back it almost looks like something that Pontiac would have made....no smoothness at all just chunky ugly...oh and it weighs a ton thus has a way slower 0-60 than even the Type S model it replaces.

GENESIS IS FUCKIN SEXY. Check out the photo albums, theres a red genesis with white rims.....omg too sexy for me

lol.. really???

The body is made in US. The engine is the only part that comes from Japan. At least this was the case for the last gen TL.

maxx 05-12-2009 10:05 PM

lol, a flagship acura sedan isnt made in japan?

if it isnt - then wow.. acura has really gone downhill.

jigga250 05-12-2009 10:44 PM

The TL is hot, you guys have horrible taste.:dead:

the flagship is the RL which doesn't sell very well.

Iceman-19 05-13-2009 10:56 AM

The new TL is ugly as fuck.

2012 TL out this week. generation 4.5

although hyundais are stepping up..

at the end of the day its still a hyundai and its going to depreciate like crazy.

MADE IN OHIO :fullofwin:

g_spyder91 03-16-2011 12:58 PM

Hyundai is well....a Hyundai:( Gotta agree with the others about the front end of the TL. Go with the G37, only nice one of the bunch.

Energy 03-16-2011 01:02 PM

Its funny how brand stigma lasts so long. I'd take an Elantra over a Civic, Genesis coupe over Accord coupe, Sonata over Accord sedan and same goes for all toyota equivalents.

I thought I was a Honda fanboy too but Hyundai is stepping up their game.

valent|n0 03-16-2011 01:06 PM

TL engine is it transverse or longitudinal?

genesis is longitudinal right?

twitchyzero 03-16-2011 01:24 PM

50 bucks says the 4th gen refresh is still gonna look like ass.

fail...the official pics were already released.

bloodmack 03-16-2011 02:35 PM

Acura is an american version of honda is it not? Why the hell are you guys surprised its not made in japan? Lol

PJ 03-16-2011 05:06 PM

c63amg 03-16-2011 05:43 PM

sam-tam 03-17-2011 09:33 AM

It's a mid-cycle refresh of the G35 series. Not a full redesign.
