What would make for the perfect TL

I was thinking about the perfect TL, and decided what it would be a combination of the sporty styling of the 2008 type s with a bit more of the side profile luxury look of the 4th gen. I would keep the rear of the type s for sure, with maybe a slighty more sophisticated grill (definitly not the 4th gen).

As far as performance; SH-AWD or RWD, and knowing very little about cars maybe dropping in a turbo like they did on the RDX, but keep it a 6 cylinder. Add a gear or two and see if you can't get that thing closer to five seconds if not high fours for 0-60.

It would be nice to see at least one variation of the line give inifiniti, bmw, and others a run for their money as far as luxury performance sedan.

Very simple. RWD.

It would make engine mods more effective.

It would outhandle all competitors.

+1

The ONLY thing I don't like about the car, is that it is FWD

After driving an srt8 challenger for few days, I gotta say that I'm smitten for RWD.

Definitely RWD.
A V8 would be nice too.
