Top of the Line Acura TL Model Gets Manny Tranny
You'll have to wait until next fall to see it, but when the top of the line Acura TL SH-AWD model arrives it'll have something else to offer besides a slushbox. Yes, Honda has announced that the 2010 Acura TL will come equipped with a 6-speed automatic transmission, marking the first time that its Super-Handling All Wheel Drive version of the TL comes so equipped.
"The new manual transmission equipped TL SH-AWD® really allows the enthusiast driver to take full advantage of the performance of Acuras SH-AWD® system," said Dick Colliver, executive vice president of sales, "Not only is the new manual transmission model the best performing Acura TL ever, it is the top handling performer among every vehicle in its class." The new tranny will be paired with the Acuras 3.7L V6 and is as Honda says, "...is approximately 110 lbs lighter than the Sequential SportShift automatic transmission to further benefit acceleration, braking and cornering."(Source: American Honda Motor Co., Inc.)
