I was hoping the TSX would get the RSX’s torqier engine and SH-AWD but Honda’s smarter than me – they know there are many who think a less domestic Accord is all they want and need.

But the TL, which has always been an otherwise decent car powered by the wrong axle, had to come with AWD this time around (the torque liimiting in the lower gears and the Type S’s driveshaft friendlier ride height and torque curve couldn’t cure the TL’s torque steer but SH-AWD should.

the ‘09 TL range will consist of two models. The front-wheel-drive car will be powered by a 3.5L V6 delivering 280 horsepower. The step-up version will feature SH AWD and have a 3.7L, 300-horsepower V6 underhood (presumably the same one used in the MDX) – Autoblog

Question is: who’s going to pony up for the RL now???
