Default 2009 Acura TL SH-AWD

Anybody heard about this yet? I just saw it on Acuras website.

The new TL will be available with a 3.6L SOHC VTEC V6 with an 11.2:1 CR, 305bhp, 273lb/ft of torque, and super handling all wheel drive. Its been a while since a Honda car came with AWD, and even when they did it was real time AWD that only powered the rear wheels when the fronts slipped.

Too bad its going to cost about $40k with decent options.



The biggest picture I could get from Acuras website before I go to class.

40k for a well equiped awd 300hp tl is not bad at all.. the current type s is just barely below that amount and its less power and fwd

It comes with 300hp at 11.2:1 compression, its AWD, it has a leather interior, and there is an option for ultra high performance tires from the dealer. Do you really think Acura isn't trying to nudge the sport sedan market with this car?
