TL-6 AWD weights over 4000lbs, its too softly sprung and feels very heavy from all the reviews.

The upcoming SH-AWD TL 6-6 will be specially configured for enthusiasts. Maybe it won't be so bad.

I should work at Honda R&D haha

I think I'd actually consider buying one of these.

In my mind I'd already ticked a box that said I'd look out for the arrivals of the TL 6-6 SH-AWD this coming Fall. But the TSX has an appeal for some reason. Smaller, cheaper, and better fuel economy with a decent amount of power.

I dunno. I'm thinking about it. :-)

Remember that's Nissan HP. They exaggerate. BMW and Honda under-rate.
Didn't Nissan underestimate the HP of the GT-R though?

Do it

Honestly, I have always liked the TSX over the TL. The 1st gen lines were so much cleaner compared to the 04-08 TL's.

There might be too many choices in the Fall 2009.

Rumours are still flying around about major changes to the RL, and there's supposed to be an all new Civic line, too.

I'm pretty sure nobody at Nissan knew the real amount of HP the GT-R had.

I heard wildly varying reports of the new car in the NAM. The same thing happened with the DC2 ITR motor, which was mostly hand assembled just like the GT-R motor.

I don't know if you were around to remember this, but we'd get Dynojet numbers from a low of 156 HP to a high of 178 HP, all on different fairly new DC2 ITR in 2000 MY, and all run on the same machine in Virginia.

So the SAE Net HP of the 2000 ITR could be anything from maybe 208 HP to maybe a low of 180, not much more than a GS-R.

I dunno.

When you introduce the human metric, all kinds of things seem to happen.

What do you think about the current RL's? Personally, I think they are beautiful, especially with the A-Spec kit.

I think they are nice, understated cars that are a much better buy than most people realise.

They're just too conservative, too tech oriented, too quiet for the price range in which they compete.

As an aficionado of Honda-Acura, I understand them and I would buy one. I'm afraid, though, that this is not true of most of the NAM.

They're still pretty ugly but u can turn them into this







JDM

New Civic has strange proportions but good details and size

New TL + TSX look too bulky and have ugly details. No hope for help

I guess you're going to have a complete heart attack when you realise that the 2010 FMC Civic is going to have the power trapezoidal grille.

That is very unlikely. I never saw that thread either.

There's a slight chance that a V8 will appear in the FMC RL for 2010. I don't think they're sure they want to take that step just yet.
