I'll take Hyundai Azera over the Acura TL. Cheaper but better imo.

Te TL is nice, but way too expensive. For te kind of money you're dropping on that Acura, you can get a Lexus or an Infiniti tat is 10 times times slicker. Acuras are a dime a dozen around here. I'd rather have a G35 coupe.

too expensive...

I'd rather spend less money and get close with a Nissan Altima SE-R or a MAZDASPEED6 GT

I just don't think there's enough extra to justify the additional 5K+

in the audi A8, you can get a mini fridge in the back :D

i'm sure the 7 series is just as insane when it comes to luxuries, comforts, and amenities

You can get a mini fridge in the 7, and the 5 too. Even my old BMW (93 5 series) it was an option.

So you'd rather get the inferior car based upon your impression of what other people think of that brand? It is about getting the superior product, and at that price, the TL Is superior. The G35's are good cars and look even better with the 2007 model but I would get the car that is more complete and would last me a while and good decent gas mileage. But for that, I would get the TSX.

there are no pictures but it probably won't look much different from the current since it is an update and not a redesign.

supposedly 295 HP and a type S version, introduced as an 07 model so basically this fall.

Both the Altima SE-R and MAZDASPEED6 GT have nothing on the refined luxuries of the TL. The TL is sexy inside and outside, has enough power and gadgetry, but its only limits are the FWD in terms of its handling capabilities.
