Well, I wouldn't buy one. Any sporty car I buy has to have rwd or awd. Fwd just doesn't cut it.

eh, i'd rather have a 330. might have less power but i'm sure 286hp fwd with an lsd is going to have some serious torque steer.
The Camry has similar HP w/no or little torque steer.

I really hope so... why does Europe get both the Civic Type R and the Accord R?

p.s. Doesn't the TSX already come in 6-sp?

Hm... which is more of a sports car? The FWD Civic Si, or the RWD Mustang GT? There's more to a sports car than FWD and RWD. IMO, a TSX is better around turns than the IS300. Honda has done great things with FWD cars, so I have confidence it will be a fun car to drive.

Don't you get it?

Fun to drive=old 'n busted
Fun to benchrace on the internet forums=the new hotness

And it ain't no fun to benchrace FWD, real-life experiences be damned.

The word sinister is a little much, but the wheels are aggresive and there are quad exhausts ...

What's a TSX-V?
I think I meant the A-Spec package, thought it was V-Spec.

why Acura still produces luxury sport sedans with FWD is beyond me....this TL-S would be sick as hell if it came with sh-awd or rwd IMHO.
