Thanks for the review, I will take this off the must test drive list!

Don't. Get your own opinion. I drove one yesterday. I liked it. You can't compare every car to an S2000. This car was built to rival the BMW 5 Series. I enjoyed the 350 with the paddle shifter. It took me awhile to get used to it, but I figured it out. Car is very plush inside and with 306 HP, it has some getty up. Car felt good in the twisties too. Again, it's a 4 door sedan. Not sure I would pay that much for this car with other options out there, but I liked the car. I like the looks too. I agree with Kooky on one thing, I would wait on the AWD TL.
