Also, if they put the 2.4 liter in the RSX, then it has the torque to receive AWD.

I would love to see a 450hp Civic with this SH-AWD system. Then, maybe a 600hp Accord also with SH-AWD. k thanks bye

I miss my 03 CL-S :(
I really don't think it makes sense putting it in the TSX. It handles pretty damn well for what it is and the price range it's in. And it sure as hell isn't for off-the-line traction
It would be sweet on the TL and a CL replacement assuming it'll have at least the 270 HP & weight of the TL.

If the car was RWD, then I'd gladly get it in AWD form.

I would still rather see a 2-Door RL with 4WD.
I prefer my next car to be built in Japan or Europe.
The 04 TL guys are experiencing all the same rattles & quality issues that the Gen II CL is infamous for.

I'm thinking the same way. I'll definitely be looking at the country of assembly on the next car I buy.

I guess what I don't get is how Acura/Honda are going to play the IMA vs. the SH-AWD setup. What do you guys think? Like for the TSX ... it most certainly would need mo powa to go AWD (tuuuurrbo Acura ... not likely). Pretty sure if an IMA TSX comes out on '06 ... I might "upgrade" :thumsup:

But I think this info deserves its own thread. Afterall who would search an RL thread for 05 changes.

Justin, were there Honda's at that Chicago thing, or only Acura's?
I'm interested to see what the 05 CR-V looks like.

Ok since you've been so generous with new info, I'll share some insider steel info.
*** Exclusive: Local mills are expecting to announce a 5% price drop on 1018 and 1045 grade cold drawn steel next month! ***
There! Now don't tell anybody or it's going to end up on SteelSpies.com... those thieving bastards!
