I dont get Acura on this one, my old 260 TL Type S didnt have hardly any at all. I thinki t might be the wider wheels that help the most!

 

i really hate torque steer...and not something i expect form honda

 

Only the 6-speed manual has the LSD. 90% of the TL will be with the 5 speed auto with no LSD.

 

Make the car RWD, take away the Accord underpinnings and I for one will be interested. You can't beat the performance and luxury at the current price point.

 

my cl-s use to have pretty bad torque steer?

 

My 03 CL-S had a good amount of torque steer under full throttle. The thing would also easily chirp the tires through the first three gears.

 

the old tl-s had very little torque steer, but prolly not the same amount of torque... conjecture...

 

Comparable cars from MBZ, BMW, Nissan, Infiniti, and Lexus are all rear-wheel drive. Why can't Honda get with the times and start making more of their models RWD? Cars like the TL, TSX, and the DC5 ITR scream for it.

Some R&D on a V8 would be nice too.

 

I would rather see Honda get into making RWD inline-6.
