eh, i really doubt ppl who shop for RL's are much of driving enthusiasts to begin with. they are soft comfy cars. awd is actually a good choice to begin with.

what honda/acure should consider, is implementing rwd (or even their existing s-awd) on their sportier offerings like the tsx, or come out with a rwd new model from the ground up. considering how conservative honda is, that seems unlikely. Acura (not saying the Honda lineup) is, and has been since the demise of the itr, to be more or less a boring company. I get the impression their target demographic is catered more towards the guy who wants to get from 'a to b', reliability, and comfort. It's even more ho-hum than lexus.

imo, honda should just let acura die off, and focus on no nonsense good daily drivers and better performance cars. As much as I like Honda as a company overall, I don't think luxury cars is something they do well.
