your dream TL

Rice Patrol
RWD yeah it's just not a honda thing...
but the 6spd could have very well been an option. There was clearly a demand or they wouldn't have offered all subsequent TLs with the 6spd. And I could think of many people (and I imagine many more) 30+ guys who'd want a sport sedan...

Obviously the RWD platform is a true dream, and the 6 speed should have been offered on the TL. Yes I understand that the CL is a coupe and thus marketed towards a demographic looking for more performance, but the "sportier" TL-S should have also featured a 6 speed to enhance its performance appeal. If the CL-S had the 6 speed, the TL-S could've easily had it as well and it could've sold as well as the CL-S6 did (small quantities, but a few thousand around would be great).

I would say all this either on the 2G or 3G platform (probably cooler if it was on the 2G though ::thumbs up::
- 3.7 VTEC with SH-AWD!!!
- Modernized interior (smack the 4th gen interior inside )
- Carbon fiber hood (painted on top)
- + roof
- + trunk (painted partially like BMW's)
- fix up the back bumper (or rear lip) to fit on some quads!!!
- larger wheel diameter (like the new platform, 18x10 front, 19x11 rear)
- automated tinted windows (already have that technology, tints are "on" when there's no current running through the glass)
- true dual exhaust! (w quad tips!)
- Acura's own signature headlights/tailights (like BMW's angel eyes or Audi's fairy lamps lol) maybe something like this
