I dropped my car (2000 TL) last Friday at the dealership for some brake work to be done and got 2005 TL as a loaner. When service adviser called me to say that my car is ready, he also asked how do I like a new Acura. I said that's the car is awesome etc., and mentioned that most likely I'll be buying a new one in a year. He said that by that time TL will be AWD ("same as RL now") and that would be even better car than that it is now (obviously!) Have any of you heard about plans for AWD in the near future or that was just a wishful thinking?

 

Well I recall back in mid 99 that there was talk of a coupe with 260 ponies that was going to be out in just over a year. This was while I was getting my 99 tl serviced. And then it happened and then I bought one.
