Check this link. Sounds like Acura really got this one right.

No wonder they delayed the release... the 6spd model has totally different suspension, bushings, mounts, driveshafts...

 

it's a good but old news, from the end of september:

I just wish they would also put it back in the base models so people (whatever small % that may be) who don't want to spend the extra $$ can still get a MT if they want to.

 

maybe they fear the FWD traction and the 1 milion time mentioned understear...
I remember the concept TL Type-s in Los Angeles 2004, or 05??, the one in orange color and red inside... it felt very special. Why Acura dosn't think about a "M-BMW, S-Audi" version for this car?...

 

Bring back the 6MT option on base cars and a stand alone ELS system...

 

Why don't we make each car a custom order? Seriously, with the number of potential 6MT sales, I'm just happy they're making it at all. They are never going to make a version to please everybody and there are already five SKUs for the TL. Adding too many more is insane.

 

^^ A 6MT will please the enthusiast crowd and that is a crowd that always needs pleasing wrong wheel drive or not. The TL has always been a sporty family sedan with a MT option available in the last two generations. I say- continue the tradition.

 

I agree, I just don't see them adding it to a FWD car, only AWDs going forward. Not sure if when you said 'base' you meant FWD.

 

yep- I meant FWD. To be honest, I'm glad Acura is at least offering it on the AWD instead of just 86'ing entirely.

 

Maybe I'll actually upgrade my current TL with one of thees in '11 or '12.
