2011 Acura TL V8?

I was just searching the web and I read an interesting
article saying that there may be a V8.

V8 and Acura don't belong in same sentence.....much like the Cubs and the World Series.


Don't hold your breath....

Looks like the RL gets the V8 (with V6 base). TL gets high performance V6 to go with the base V6.

TSX gets the low end V6 of the base TL, along with the 4 cyl.

Sounds like that's the way it will be slotted.

Frankly, I thought the V8 in the RL was a dead issue. Looks like they're going forward with it.

Plus, sounds like the RL is at least only going to be RWD with the V8. I'll assume the SH AWD version stays to sole province of the V6.

Now where in the article do you get this idea?

This article is very old, I've seen it before as it has been posted on here already:
https://acurazine.com/forums/showthr...=2011+ACURA+TL



The constant use of words like "if", "should", "may", "likely", "would", "alleged" and "expect" kinda make it seem like they're guesstimating..

There will not be a V8 Acura in 2011, 12, 13, or the foreseeable future for that matter. What one could hope for is tweaking to the proboscis for the TL to look more like the TSX. They may add some additional amenities, like cooled seats and probably 6AT.
