More power and some cool add ones but still FWD only.

Holy Viggen again batman. To bad they could not see fit to attach the RL's AWD.

Oh and those pipes are such AMG rip offs!

From a fellow car "guy" who went soft --he drives an IS350 every day to work and loves it. his wife has a TL and the entire family hates it.

I saw that in C&D this month. Still an upscale Accord to me.:rolleyes:

When the latest TL first came out, I thought it was a pretty sharp car. Now, I can't even stand the thought of the thing. It already looks dated and portly. And then there's the FWD thing. Man, when is Honda going to get over their obsession with FWD??

I love the way the TL looks, inside and out. The interior to me is beautiful.

I imagine it drives somewhat like a V6 Accord coupe with the 6-speed. A friend had one of those. It was comfortable and competent but completely uninvolving. He now owns an '03 Boxster S.

For the money I'd rather have an off-lease E46 trade-in.

at least the TL-S has a torsen front LSD.

i mean, they do make an effort. other than a 62/38 weight distribution and FWD dragging along 3500 pounds behind it.

(FWD=pushing a string across a table, RWD=pulling a string across the tabletop)
