This number is plain bullshit. This gen TL was tested by me and my buds using gps pieces similar to dragy and would get like 6.5 seconds over and over. for comparison, the stinger 3.3 Twin Turbo would get 5.00 seconds zero to 60.

Yeah, no way the automatic can do 5.5. I managed to get under 6 once, on a perfect run. I bet they were quoting what other publications have been saying for the manual, which weighs a couple hundred pounds less and has shorter gearing. Motor Trend clocked a manual at 5.2.

Agree! I have a 2012 FWD that I purchased almost 9 years ago with a mere 11k on the clock. Just did the 105K service at 100k, and replaced struts/springs/sway bar links back at 85K. Car still feels buttery smooth, yet firm. It still puts a smile on my face when I drive it. Over maintained and pampered, I'm aiming for 200K.

Nope, completely serious. Honda's chassis and steering are superior to Infiniti. Infiniti does have RWD if that's what you are looking for. The SH-AWD set up is quite good and the fact that they offer this car with a stick is awesome. The option to have AWD and a stick is becoming more and more rare. Infiniti is quickly getting rid of all manuals. You say Honda like it's a bad thing. The same could be said about Infiniti being a fluffed up Nissan. I will say that the Infiniti is better looking.

No one forced you to watch, but when you attack car manufacturers as well as other commenters with your biased opinion is when you cross the line. Normally I would dismiss you as a common internet troll but since I saw your reply appear on my phone while I was using it I took the time to reply. I will admit that the FWD TL is a fancy Accord, but the SH-AWD TL is something completely different. What other 4 door sedan you can buy is cheaper than a 3 series yet faster than a 5 series?

All Acuras are FWD-based and you can get TL, RDX, ILX and TSX FWD so I guess he's not that wrong. I just don't think you can compete all that well with such a setup, that's why Infiniti is noticeably better handlers than Acura.

You have to be on meth to think Acura has the better steering and chassis. The chassis comes from where? The Accord, most likely. Infiniti has the chassis from the Z coupe. Steering wise, the Acura's steering is much lighter and more numb while Infiniti has top notch hydraulic steering. I've driven both, both are nice but the Infiniti is the better performance sedan while the TL is smoother, perhaps more refined.
