Honda America says Acura Hybrid's Coming
http://wardsauto.com/ar/auto_acura_h...tely/index.htm
Quoted:
“If we are to do a hybrid for Acura, and we will in the future – it’s not in the short-term plan – but if we look further down the road, it’ll be more the performance-oriented version, probably with an improvement in fuel economy as well, but the primary focus will be on performance,” Tom Elliot, executive vice president-American Honda, says.
“Perhaps it will have all-wheel-drive capability if it didn’t already have that,” he adds.
An Acura executive told Ward’s last fall Acura likely would expand all-wheel-drive to include models in addition to the RL flagship, with the TL being the next likely candidate.
----------------
Also, in another article:
An Acura official says the next model to receive SH-AWD, which distributes power to both front and rear as well as left and right wheels, likely will be the TL, which is positioned just below the flagship RL sedan in price and size.
yay. might not be new but nice to know the company is talking about it.
