Very nice. I keep cringing when I see the miles roll up on my odometer, but knowing that you're still enjoying your car (I know because I saw the video) with that many miles on it is reassuring. Looks like 300,000 is just a couple of years away for you.

Considering Acura has already stated they are going to be equipping all of their v6 sedans with their SH-AWD, and going "green" with their honda counterparts. I really hope Acura is able to get the SH-AWD ( or a minature version of it ) into the TSX that would seriously rocket the sales of both the TSX and the TL, getting them a much needed jump in the right direction.

I wouldn't be suprised to see Kris stay around if we got a All-Wheel-Drive 300-350hp sedan... plus Turbo that puppy and Good night!!!

I honestly think if Acura made a Turbo-Sport version of their cars the would get incredible responce from the industry... a warrantied, turbo, all-wheel-drive Acura.... I can't think of a better solution to pull them out of the "lagging" they have been showing compared to other luxury car makers, lexus, infinify..

A V8 engine would help aswell, but anymore power to the front wheels is poinless, they would have to go AWD.

Not a fan of awd, especially if there isnt great power behind it. I think the RL is a flop. Its size, weak HP and price kill any good things behind it. If acura were to introduce it to their other models price will kill them. The TSX to me is way over priced (especially for its size and engine) the TL is about as much as i would ever spend on a car that size. Now add in more hp and sh-awd and the price will go up. For LESS of the price of the RL i can buy a CTS-V which is about the same size, But with 400hp, rwd and 0-60 in under 5. If acura wants to start to hang with every one else (who have all gone rwd) they are going to need to do the same
