i didnt know this... i think its in the old TL? ture?

 

Yes.

 

RWD? the engin is setup like my BMW

 

shouldnt this be in cartalk :P

 

probably, and no not rwd. fwd I5.

 

i see.... no RWD

 

I believe the engine debuted in the 1992 Acura Vigor.





Nice car, never took off though.

 

it was hard for anyone near 5' 11"+ to not hit their head on the roof when going over something hard...talk about terrible head room.
The legend in '91 improved on this.

 

Vigor has a bit of a cult following. very nice car.
But the I5 was also in the first TL i believe, the 2.5TL. I test drove one years ago, pretty nice.

 

i thought one of the old tl's were in fact RWD

edit: after looking at edmunds.com, they all seem to be FWD

 

he just posted the 92 vigor... how can the 91 legend improve upon the headroom???

 

Yep....Vigor and 2.5 TL were both 5 cyls.

 

I5 is unamerican!

 

Hence the reason Chevrolet is putting an I5 in the new Colorado under the slogan "An American Revolution"??

 

The Vigor became the TL. I had a Vigor up until 2 years ago. Very refined for it's day. It should have been ... for $28K in 1992!

 

car loooks decent for a 92

 

It's got a good following. It was never intended for the US market. Honda needed something in that middle market between the Integra and the Ledgend. It was actually designed (like the new TSX) for Europe and Japan. I always wanted a 5 speed vigor. Now that I have a 6 speed CL, I'm sure it would be a little dispointing. Anyway, I still get to drive my old Vigor ... my niece owns it.

 

here's a shot of the bay.... leeched from ebay.. lol

 

this would be an 96' TL

 

that looks like a RWD setup...

 

thats what i though...

 

Both the Gen II Legend and the Vigor had “front-to-back” engine setups like that even though they were FWD.
It made for much better weight distribution and lots of 4WD rumors back when they were sold.

 

 

Whish will be the reason no one will buy it! (Well, now that fuel is over $2.00 a gallon, maybe not).
