We got both a Z and an 09 Acura TL.

They changed that model a LOT since the 3G (3rd generation). Now, it's a highway cruiser. You could do the 7 hours up to Montreal, no problem, whereas the Z might make you a little stiff after the first 2-3 hours.

The TL with tech came in at $34,000 even, and the VPP price on the 7AT (touring) with some rugs, etc. came in at $34,014. They were desperate to reduce inventory at this particular Acura dealer.

You might ask -- for the same price, which is a better buy? I couldn't answer that. The TL is for a different purpose. The Z's limitations are strictly caused by its carrying capacity, and you KNEW that before you bought it, so there.

(Not having a back seat or a big trunk can also be an advantage.)
