Sport Hybrid SH-AWD system explained
I posted this in the RLX naming thread, but I think it deserves a thread of its own.

The system should take care of the low-end torque issues we have on the RL.

That's impressive. Here's hoping the chassis they put it under is equally impressive.

"Impressive" and "expensive to maintain" are usually close relatives.

No, but you don't have to trouble shoot servos, relays, and you can service the internals on a conventional motor after thousands of miles.

^That. But, one has to consider that it is a Honda. And not something of German decent
