You want performance, sure. But you also want a car that fits your board of director aspirations.
Few vehicles symbolize smart performance better than an Acura vehicle - especially an all- new Acura vehicle, such as the new TL, our choice for professionals on the move. Completely revised with an interesting new look, the Acura TL has added new safety and emissions technology, and a SportShift automatic transmission, among other features. The engine is pretty much the same as last year -- 3.2 liters, SOHC, 24 valves, 60-degree V6 with variable valve timing and lift system (VTEC) - though horsepower is up to 270, as is torque, to 238 pounds-feet. All but one of the items (navigation system) on the previous version's optional equipment package has been moved to standard, the result of which is a very-well equipped vehicle right out of the gate, but alas also a more expensive vehicle -- starting price is $32,650.
But hey -- you get what you pay for, and you've got those board of director aspirations, right?
Honorable Mention: 2004 Cadillac CTS-V, 2004 Jaguar XJ8
