Thumbs down Sean and his Bummer, sorry Beamer

:badass: OK ! So the tunes are better sounding on the GXE than the TL-S... But no matter which one you decide on it still won't keep up with the TL-S, with a 6.2 sec 0-60, and a Quarter mile time of 15.1sec @ 97mph. Yes I drove the GXE, and was impressed with it's Torque, I found the interior a little more cramped than the TL-S, What sold me on the TL-S was in order of Importances. #1.-the Mileage figures, (which @ 1500 mls, I'm already getting 27.6 mpg ) driving 75-80 mph on California freeways. #2- the ergonomics, #3- The ride and handling, (on the same road the TL-S had a little smoother ride and handled on our ratty ol (California) slow lanes. #4-Acceleration and general seat of the pants prowlest (these babys really get up and scoot) and last but not least (are you ready for this) The cleanness and tidyness of the engine compartment. When I opened the hood on the GXE all I saw was wires here and there, unloomed wire terminals clipped to the intake area. I don't know I've waited 20 years to buy a new car and this one really fits me. I guess that's why theres so many car manufactures, Theres a car for everyone. Mine still happens to be the fastes in it's class... CROZ
