CONTROL IS POWER

You approach a turn. Your car senses road conditions, monitors acceleration and measures steering. As the turn is made, power automatically shifts between all four wheels. Traction is improved, cornering force increased, understeer drastically reduced. It's called Super Handling All-Wheel Drive (TM) (SH-AWD) (R) and it can actually put 100% of rear torque into a single outside rear wheel. On dry roads, this produces more precise handling. In snow or rain, a more secure grip. Powering this innovative system is a variable valve 3.7-liter V-6. One that creates 305 hp while achieving an ultra-low emissions rating. This is the power of control. This is the new TL. Learn more at acura.com.

THE MOST POWERFUL ACURA EVER BUILT. THE ALL-NEW TL

You know, that could just be creative use of shadowing to obscure the silver V... And that's probably not a virgin photo.. It was probably edited anyhow..

Yeah I would say that it is edited. I mean I have never seen tires with spikes before..

Even if Acura used "creative shadowing" to make it look like there's less chrome back there than there really is, then that must indicate that they've heard our complaints - i.e. even if they're not changing it, they see the benefit in hiding it!

I saw that ad. They didn't do any editing that would make the silver trim less visible. I'm just glad Acura decided to market the new TL well.

This is true for ANY car advertised these days.
