Curious Questions

Does it no have fogs?
Why is the VTEC not intelligent?
Why did does it not include the mirror blinkers?
what is that circular notch on the frond bumper?
I see the heated seats, but how do your work the a/c seats, did I not hear that was a feature?

might just be ventilated seats, I am often wrong

Another question is Honda seems to pay attention to details so what is up w/ this rediculously large turning radius? I read it was over 39.7 ft WOW that is pathetic

Love the car though

also what do u think of the 3 seperate gauges? I think I prefer them as one larger display

No fogs that I know of.

i-VTEC requires DOHC (double overhead cams), almost all Honda V6's are SOHC (Single overhead Cams) the exception is the NSX.

Mirror blinkers probably were left out because it is a North American product only. The TSX/Euro Accord was designed in Europe for Europeans. We were lucky to get it.

Circular notch? Probably for towing.

Ventilated seats will be on the RL before the TL will ever get them.

Ever been in a Type S TL? the turning radius was 40 feet. Thats actually VERY good for a vehicle with double wishbone suspension in the front.

3 separate gauges... again... have you been in a Type S?

What about telescoping steering column. The new Maxima has a neat tilt/telescoping steering that moves out of the way when you exit the vehicle. Of course there are several memory locations for various drivers.

I wish, but that feature did not really debut in this country until about 1989, so we are still a few years away.

I know. I was being sarcastic. There is not reason the TL still does not have this feature.

You can get it in the Maxima, even....
