If you look at the 4 megapixel pictures at Acure-tsx.xom, you'll realize that this vehicle just seems humungous! :Q The trunk looks very large.

Great. Now every car with narrow headlights is going to make forum geeks scream "IT LOOKS LIKE THE 6!!". Just like every car with an arched roof looks like the Audi TT.

Yay for torque steer:disgust:

Someone needs to pimp slap Honda for not going RWD:| No need in having two FWD sedans of the same size in similar pricing ranks [TL in the low 30's and the TSX in the 26k-30k range].

And WTF, both of them are based on the '03 Accord too now that I think of it. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. They should do what Toyota does. Smaller RWD car for the sporty crew (ala IS300) and a larger luxury car for the FWD crew (ala ES330).

They should pull an Infiniti and have an all RWD or AWD line-up.

Note, its possible the TL will not have torque steer if it comes with equal-lenght halfshafts and a LSD.

The TL will have equal length halfshafts (LSD, though, I don't know) - the accord has them and they have no problem with Torque steer @ 240hp. Anywho, if you look up the definition for torque steer, you get "Consult Nissan for further information" 😉

Although, I don't think we'll ever see Honda move to a RWD lineup. It's too costly to chance all of their platforms.

Bah..if you think Nissan is bad....look up Saab and torque steer. Their older Turbo cars were the DEFINITION of torque steer! Don't believe me? Go drive one.

 
cadillac sells more $40,000+ vehicles than anyone else. they're not all RWD. so maybe honduh is on to something 😉
