Acura TL?

Any '04 TL drivers out there? Of course I realize this is a Saab board but I'm getting close to making a purchase soon and I respect everyone's opinions here. I was recently quoted a price of about $500 over invoice so it seems like a great deal for the standard features. I even notice a bit of 9-5 in the styling, it has that "rakish" look.
The only thing is, I drove one the other day and it really didn't *wow* me. It was nice, quiet, smooth, felt quick enough and I didn't notice any of the dreaded torque steer (it was an auto, so no limited slip diff). It did have a slight shimmy coming through the steering wheel but upon my return to the dealer I noticed one of the front rims was scraped up pretty good. My only reservations are the fact that the TL trans seems to be a weak link (there was a recall issued at the end of June for the '04) and the fact that it's built at Honda Marysville (OH). Maybe it's just me but I like my Hondas built in Japan and my Saabs made in Sweden.
We're currrently a one car family so our one car has to suit all of our needs. I plan on keeping it for at least 8 years (my wife will eventually drive it daily) and then I can get my Saab.
Thanks for reading!
Paul
