[person.w]

I've never seen you guys disagree on something so heavily.

[madpistol]

"Here's why you're wrong..." *Takes turn at crazy speed*

The fact that Acura built a car that has you two arguing is impressive by itself.

[Sonjay]

When you guys disagree, it actually lends to your credibility as unbiased journalists. This was my favorite episode in a while

[goatmonkey]

I don't think I've seen them disagree so much on a car before. It was savage.

Finally, someone who gets what a SH-AWD Acura TL/TLX is. It is the type of vehicle where you can determine how it responds. You want to drive it aggressively, it can handle it, you want it to be relaxed and comfortable, no problem. You drive this car, it doesn't drive you.

[HabibRKO]

Finally somebody who doesn’t say the German cars are better just because they are German

[MrMortadella]

These guys are so transparent. This is obviously the prelude to the Mayweather/Paul PPV in February. Goose vs Singapore on the undercard. Book it. Not sure how I’ll feel about seeing Mark in boxing shorts but I have 2 months to adjust for it.

"for normal driving like we just did" *just made a 40mph right angle turn with tires squeal*

[anhayes]

Jack's seatbelt is flipped throughout the whole driving section.

There. Now you can't unsee it just like me.

[realtick]

“I don’t think a 3-series is fun to drive dude...” Nails out.

I subscribed to savagegeese a few years ago. My life hasn't gotten worse.

After purchasing one of these, an advance AWD, I gotta say that they perform really well. I was prepared to put a deposit on for an s type, but by the time the test drive was over the whole car felt like a complete package. Fun driving dynamics, amazing stereo (super important given its impossible to modify modern cars) and incredible comfort. Coming from a 13 taurus sho, I could not be more happy. Car is seriously refined!

I do wish I could get that quad tip exhaust that the s type has, though!

[ethereous]

Amazing dialogue during the driving segment. Some of your best, guys. I love the stark difference in opinions coming together.

[brianday]

"I don't think a 3 series is fun. There is nothing that's

Felt like I was car shopping in Gran Turismo for that intro.

[drkvenger]

I test drove the TLX. It is a nearly perfect all-around sports-luxury package. I would definitely pick this over the G70 and ES. Yes - it holds its own over the Germans. Pound for pound it offers a better overall value of luxury, tech, and engineering.

[renato]

Jack: Well I think this car isn't as fun as other cars
Goose: So you have chosen... death.

ELS Sound System...FUN FACTS:
ELS = Elliot Scheiner is a VERY highly acclaimed recording engineer.
He was a part of the recording team used by "Steely Dan" during their "Gaucho" album
During that time in LA, he went out on a date with a MUCH younger SoCal girl and discovered he had absolutely nothing in common.
Donald Fagen/Walter Becker wrote the song, "Hey Nineteen" about ELS's experience.
...and now you know the rest of the story...

[samkrahn]

This sedan is the Japanese equivalent of the Volvo S60 IMO... not trying to be someone else, but doing it's niche better than anyone else

[NaijaBull]

This is arguably you guy's best review this year. Some might call that arguing, I call it passionate debate. I loved it guys and changed my entire perspective of the TLX for the better.
