The only thing you should be nervous about is the extreme obsession with, and addiction to, German engineering!

You may need to attend a GAA (German Automobiles Anonymous) class to help with the addiction.

Which coupe is this a 350 or 550?

Judging from the base model double-foglamps, my best guess is that this is a 350 (but I could be wrong).

I think you're right. I didn't notice the fog lights at first glance.

Welcome and don't worry, just enjoy driving the car. Only time to get nervous is when you go to the dealer for service or problems

Welcome aboard! Along with a flurry of MB cars I have owned or purchased 4 Acuras for me or my family. 1999 Tl was my last one. Extremely reliable, but boring cars. I even tried a 6 speed manual Legend LS Coupe to try and jazz things up, but it didn't help. You will really come to enjoy this brand.
