You are probably better off go test driving both of those cars yourself. It is hard to judge on someone else's opinion.

I haven't heard anyone complain about the power & FWD.
Everything I heard says that this is probably the best FWD setup available today. If it bothers you that much go buy a G35, but I bet in the long run you'll have more problems with that than the TL.
lots and lots of fail

The FWD is a big problem in the TL if you plan on driving it 8/10 (very hard) and autocrossing. However, if you live in the northeast like me and can't have RWD and can't afford the AWD of the 3 series and hate the cheapness of the G35, the TL is by far a vast improvement on our Accord. It's like everything on our Accord taken to the 5th power...look at the standard features list of the TL sometime in the brochure. I'd say 80% of them are either improved on what we have or completely new.

i've ridden in both and the new tl a much better handiling feel around the turns then the accord that i could notice from sitting passenger it's acceleration is also a vast improvment over the v6 accord

hmm, I don't know. The cars are pretty close. I mean I like the tl but the accord is almost the same car. You're comparing a few hp, and a little more torque. If you have the money get the tl, it's audio system is excellent with the 6 channel dvd sound quality. If I just wanted a base type car with that drivetrain I'd buy the accord. That's just me though. Both cars seem to have alot of torque steer in my opinion.
