Thanks for the advice, the Cadi has a lot of good press and its a really nice car. It looks to be a bit overwieght but my main concern is reliability. I will not buy anything that CR has as below average, since the CTS is a new redesign they do not have ratings in that aspect yet. Both the TL and G35 outscore it in CR's tests, but I know a lot of that is subjective and I would want to feel the cars myself. If Acura indeed incorporates its SH-AWD into the upcoming 2009 TL it will be nearly invincible against its competition, I think the front wheel drive configuration is really the only thing thats holding it back from being the top of the class, we will see, I will keep everyone posted as this goes on.
