I had a tl as a loaner when my wife's rdx would go in for service.
tl has nice leather, electronics are weak the navi is crap.
sh awd actually is good in bad weather.
I turned in the rdx, the dealer didn't have 1 single customer in the showroom.
a few salesman were commenting on my coupe,comenting on my cf & how sick it looked.
overheard one saying"why don't we have a sports coupe in our line"
answer, because you make fwd that has way to much torqe steer.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.
