New RL Illustrations and new AWD system

Very Nice looking illustrations

And the new AWD system sounds good.

Looks like an S500 and a new Accord thrown in a blender.....I like it. Let be realistic though....thats beyond Acura's "refinement" ability. They don't make cars like that....remember the CL concept.

wow...looks like a very cool system. Now all they have to do is come out with a TL type S or a coupe with that system and a few more hp. If they did that, I think it would take BMW, Audi, Lexus, a while to catch up to all around performance and value.

welcome to 20 years ago Acura!!!! audi has been doing Quattro for 2 decades, amazing.

this system is a step up for acura, just a complete shame that it took this long to implement such a system.

this system weighs a lot less than most traditional AWD systems and appears to do a better job at distributing power than the quattro....SHEESH....let the car come out 1st

The 2nd Gen CL Concept and the 2nd Gen CL did favor each other a lot.
