so tough not to choose my own car, the audi. but i think the TL's are such a better buy for fwd. more power, a lot more reliable and more standard features. whereas the audi is underpowered, overweight, with questionable reliability and features standard on the acura become pricey options on the audi. can't argue the audi has that german car feel, great looks and typical audi interiors but for the money the acura is the better value. the volvo s60 and acura TSX would also be good choices.
