And by the way I think most people that attend this site are honda/acura bias, probably because it is a Honda-Acura site.
So if your not, why are you a member of the site?
IMO the TL-S is the best choice because for $32k I'm getting a car with several standard options that run the price up thousands of dollars more on most the other models. And I now my $32k spent was a wise decision knowing that I will probably get 150,000 plus miles out of the car.
I consider myself an automobile enthusiast. That includes, but is not limited to, Hondas and Acuras. And for the record, I thought I made a valid observation....no need to get touchy. I must have struck a nerve, but then again the truth always hurts.
Value-wise the TL is a great car. I can't deny that, but it does not have the same solid feel and performance of either the BMW or Audi. As for the W8, the car they tested did not have a sport package (which is on its way to the U.S.) and the test results were very odd. In a previous issue C & D tested a W8 and got 6.9 0-60 and the 1/4 mile in the 15 second range. They also commented on the excellent interior, fit & finish, etc. But in this test they seem to contradict themselves.
In any case, I wouldn't mind having any of the cars listed above.
