looks clean. I suppose eawd is electrical awd
Sport Hybrid. Similar system on the RLX and NSX
I have to say the new "TL+TSX" is the best looking honda in years. The powertrains are lame, carry over boring 2.4 and lame ass ancient 3.5. At least they are finally getting some decent transmissions.
Thanks. And yes, the powertrains seem lackluster mostly because 100% of people thinks its only carry over.
There's been a lot done to the driveline, but these engines are only slight place holders. I've driven both and each are excellent. I really wished the 2.4+8DCT was on the SI, talk about an amazing setup. This DCT feels way more refined and in tuned than the DSG. And low speed antics are GONE.
2.4 needs to be turbo'd which could bring it somewhere close to a stage 1 gti in terms of acceleration.
Turbos won't be around until around 2016
The TLX is a very attractive car... I was surprised when I saw the photos of it this afternoon.
I haven't been very impressed with Acura or Honda's designs as of late.
When I saw the initial sketches a few years ago, I was hesitant. We just recently had the MDX roll out and while it wasn't a very BIG change, it had a very nice refined appeal to it. To this day, the styling has matured on me and it looks stunning everytime I see them.
This thing, turned out 100 times better than I expected. But furthermore, the value of what Honda is doing, is bringing the enthusiast back to its natural instinctual form........be one with the car. The MDX, as much as most would think, is truly a work of art making a 4300lb vehicle as quick and as light as it is. The RLX feels like a mean machine. While objectively, people look at magazine statistics to ultimately compare vehicles, but that thrill and that enthusiasm stemmed from what we all grew to love about Hondas....the way they drove and connected the driver.
This TLX certainly does that.
