I have no problem with the rear-end of that next model. Wait, is that the rear or the front? lol

Still two of my all time favorite cars....my TL-S and my TL SH AWD. I am in the minority, too. I loved the aggressive style of the more recent TLs.
TLs don't stand out in any one category (except maybe for incorporating every tech feature you could imagine in their cars). But, they do everything well.
I really like the styling of the TLX V6 SH AWD, but that 9 speed transmission scares me. If you wants read some good owner reviews, check out edmunds.

Tempting to review the offer, but I just bought a condo, so no new cars for me. Yet.

Have you driven a 6-cylinder Accord lately? I wonder if that would be the way to go for what would probably be less than the 4-banger Acura. Always liked Honda/Acura's V6's.

I haven't checked the equipment level on the Honda recently - it certainly may have changed with the recent facelift - but at one point the Acura had a better suite of safety and tech features, such as a true blind spot monitoring system. On the Honda, it seemed you had to get the "Touring" model to get that, which got quite expensive. And, for what it's worth, the TLX may be conservative in its own right, but I think it's still more distinctive than an Accord.
Having said that, the Accord is a great car - but I'd take a used TLX over a new Accord. Best value? perhaps a used Accord.

I'll try one eventually, just, because why not?

Actually, car-wise, there have been good signs for Jag since the '04 XJ's all aluminum architecture (and Ford cash flow). Unfortunately, nobody noticed as it continued the XJ style of the '60s. Handsome, but been there, done that. The current lineup are all winners as vehicles that offer performance, style and quality. From my personal (and, of course a sample set of 1) experience build, reliability and materials are all excellent.
The XE and F-Pace early reviews are almost all big thumbs up. I'm torn, want Jag to survive and thrive, yet selfishly I hate to potentially lose the relative exclusivity of driving a Jag.
My 17 y.o. son believes I'm being selfish, that there's no reason for someone of my advanced years to be driving an XF, when it would so much better serve his purposes. The '02 RX300 he currently is lucky enough to drive would be much better suited to me. Gotta like the attitude, if not the logic!

Other times, it starts to get on your nerves. You start thinking about it, anticipating it, flinching when it happens.
It's really bad when that happens AFTER you have bought the car, and have to live with it. One of the reasons I like, whenever possible, to rent a very similar vehicle for an "extended test drive". Live with the car for a week or so, try it out in everyday life.

Hence the "extended" test drive. Probably more of an appropriate comment/joke on the CCBA thread.

His current test drive is 9 months, now .. the S4. Though he almost traded it this weekend.

And, surprisingly hard to rent a Honda of any type, they don’t wind up in rental fleets. Last year, I was trying to find a CR-V that I could get my hands on for a week, or at least a long weekend. Didn’t happen.
Now I did have the Hyundai dealer offer me an overnight with a used Genesis that I was thinking about quite hard. I didn’t take him up on the offer, as I was afraid that I would buy it!

But as one wag noted, that car has the "Get Off My Lawn!!!" package. It also probably includes a ball cap and an AARP membership...
