Rumors: Redesigned TL in 06
I heard from someone that just got back from Japan (he knows people)
that the TL wil be redesigned to have side blinker mirros
and an option to get SHAWD, as well as a redesigned backend
anyone hear of this?

http://vtec.net/modelmatrix/ says the sh-awd and typeS might be possible...
Isn't the NY auto show coming up this weekend ?? I would think that if there are model changes for 2006, we might see the info from the show. Soopa might know something, but he's on vacation. I'm hoping to hear about a new coupe
I posted this in the RL forum, but the same applies to all honda/acura models w/ regards to a 5 year design cycle:

I've followed this trend with the Accord, RSX, etc. so I don't think many models are exempt from this lifecycle. 2007 would be the timeframe for a MMC for the RL.
Shamelessly stolen from http://vtec.net/modelmatrix/
[1] MMC: Minor Model Change - Mid-cycle freshening of an existing model. Often limited to subtle cosmetic changes but sometimes new trim levels and/or drivetrain options are introduced.
[2] FMC: Full Model Change - full redesign of a product, generally resulting in significant changes in packaging, performance, and styling.
