I agree that SH-AWD is good in bad weather but if that's my priority I wouldn't even have considered a car / sedan.

The only interesting cars Honda/Acura made, they killed them. The Civic TypeR, S2000, NSX and etc. Now their idea of sporty is either overpowered FWD with 270 hp (Accord coupe) or underpowered FWD hybrid (CRZ coupe).

They're great / reliable cars, and are sufficient for most people but they're just not performance cars. A buddy wanted a TL but I told him to test drive a G after he drove a TL. He ended up buying a G instead.

 

Actually, the over-done vehicle descriptions suggest that he has no identity other than his car. Possessing the car, of course, is purely a question of money.

Sad.

 

LOL.
This says it all "wind deflector, front plate and license frame"

 

I also like "wood gear shift ****."

 

WTF? who thinks a 15 dollar add on is signifacant enough to list like that for a 35k car!?

 

What thread was it

 

Here is the post.

Questions before buying new 2010 TL - Page 2 - AcuraZine Community

 

FWD biased AWD is simply just not sporty, period. They're great for snow though.

 

Well the G has nothing on the TL SHAWD 6MT, thats for sure. Even the 335i falls short in the twisties against that car. If you can get past the looks then I am all for getting that TL. Any other TL is just a pure waste of time.

 

But they are such happy cars! Look at that smile.

 

It's not a smile. It's a very large bottle opener.

For very large bottles.

 

my wifes truck had the turbo woth the shsawd.
it is like infinitis,only the use magnet control system to regulate the awd with a heads up display in the dash cluster.

it being a truck with a curb weight of 4000+ pounds. It had potential if you just gave it some twaeks in the suspension, it would carve out the road like a hot knife through bitter.

if it was in the tl sh-awd it does handle just as good as the g37x. But for the car itself g37 has 5 sec flat with 7 speed auto. Tl is nowhere near that just bwcause of the extra weight.

 

True, the front is just wrong, rather have an Accord becuase of it. But the back on the car is no tooo shabby, a little batmobilish.

 

i think it's a love it or hate it thing for the looks.. at first i thought it was fffffuggglglglyy but the more i see it i think it's not too bad o.O

 

Sorry....I disagree. The back is way over styled - way too many shapes, lines, and conflicting forms. Looks busy and a bit junky to me.
