Sh-awd Tl?!!

Yep, it is true and in the cards... as stated here:

Sources tell the spies that the killer AWD system coming on the 2005 Acura RL (SH-AWD) will be an option on future TL's and TSX's.

I sure hope if they put it on the TSX that it gets some more power to the wheels ... an AWD system on the already weak TSX would just make it SLOWER... hopefully Acura will come through with a turbo or supercharger on the TSX or do something to give it at least 240hp...

I'd trade my car in for a SH-AWD TSX with some more ponies.

Well supposedly Hondata's preliminary work on the K24 engine produced about 240whp... I was told the ECU timings on the TSX are the same as the 4cyl USDM Accord and so they're really tuned down for fuel economy.

We'll see I guess when it actually comes out.

I highly doubt the TSX will get AWD; but for the TL, I think its really just a matter of time.

I'd trade mine in for an awd TL 6 speed, but I doubt they'll make it with the 6 speed.
