I might have to sell the CL and get the TL with the SH-AWD option.

AWD, would be a wonderful thing for these two cars, BUT Acura needs to RE-introduce a sports/lux coupe with AWD AKA G35c Beater.

Too bad they couldn’t think of a word that started with an “N” for the last letter of SH-AWD.

Would have been cool to have my name on the back of my new car.......... In G-O-L-D of course.

Hope they do get it but the TSX better get some more power. Thing will be even slower with the AWD system in there.

Read the articles that have been posted here before.
The concept of this system is AWESOME.
It varies power levels through all four wheels during aggressive cornering.
Better then any car could do with RWD alone.

Sounds cool...

Question though.

Does anyone have thoughts to where this may even hinder agressive driving?

While the concept sounds cool, it seems that these new technological advances seem to take away from not only the thrill of driving, but the limits to what you can push a car to.

For example, active steering on BMWs. No true enthusiast likes it.

What about VSA or another type stability control? In order to really drive the shit out of your car, you turn this off.

While I'd love to see this make it, I just wonder if it'd really hurt something too???

Just curious is all.

It would be nice if it had a few different modes to select from like.

1--- I’m a pansy, help me drive
2--- Help me only if I screw up bad
3--- Leave me alone, I’m in track thrash mode
