honda is so freaking lazy =.= it looks like accord..

but i like da rim and da tire though @.@


da tire is like highspeed sports typa tire right? @.@?

but those are more expensive =.=

TL's are based on accord right?

How come Honda still don't have any FR seden while other Japs car manufactures already have a few?

mind you that when come to design of a new car, it needs time and lots of testing... aerodynamics, performance, restructuring, new training for the labour to put it together... it usually takes 500 people to put a car together... I don't want to go to the tech part too much...


Honda is not lazy, it's just a common sense that it will cost a leg to restyle one of their product model... if they do it too often...


if a smaller change will spice up the market interest and boost up the sale... why bother to restyle?

I think most of the cars look fine once you get used into it... just my 2cent

they might have their own reasons... maybe it's not efficient when some of the the horsepower will be lost in rear.. or maybe there is no such market for it..

Simple... Cost-Effective.... FR in general is more expensive to make than FF..... Also, since platform sharing is so common, and most of the Honda line-up are FWD, it's no surprise that almost all Honda are either FWD or AWD....

TL is sold under Acura for a long time... or r u talking about JDM inspire will be sold under Acura?

Nono I am talking about the brakes. Rumor has Acura putting brembo brakes on production TL. Just that it won't say Brembo on the caliper it'll say Acura instead.

It would be nice if they do.... but I really doubt it though if Honda wants to keep the price down.... But rumour says that TL will go up in price, too.... So far, expect new TL to be some where between 43K - 50K.....

LOL... Not really.... Will have to see how they do with TL.... but 260+HP w/FWD is no fun... NEEEEEED RWD/AWD....

totally agree.


man~~ i thought i was the only one think TL has weak brakes.~~ Honda should really improve on that part~!! really~

[alanlin]

w/ brembo brakes and everything~~

i don't think i want another TL though~~
if i want another sedan~~ i think i'll take the G35~~

any TL drivers share the same interest as me?
