I have a 2001 TL which has very poor sound insulation. The 2006 has slightly better sound insulation but it could definitely be better like the Lexus.
Acura is a funny brand. It's better than a lot of car companies in a lot of things, but then it sucks in so many others. Picking an Acura really depends on what your priorities are in a car.

If you're for gadgets at a low price, then this car is for you. If you're for agressive styling then this car is for you. But if you're about a tight transmission, great handling, build quality, or power, then you will probably be disappointed.
