Doesn't it already have 270hp? 16 more and they call it an S? I call that just an upgrade. The difference between the older base and S models were much greater.

Actually I'm not sure if I specifically related weight to handling. I may have alluded to it, and if so, I am wrong.

My CL-S was another good example of the potential of FWD/LSD. Obviously it didn't handle like the R, but it didn't understeer like you'd expect from a 3500 lb FWD car. Torque steer was manageable for me, but scared my wife, who is more accustomed to RWD cars.

Sad little patch job, and sad attempt at keeping up with the real sports sedans in the class. It'll sell, since like toyota, honda enjoys success thanks to the mindless, passionless lemmings that buy them, but anybody that knows anything about cars would walk right past this (and that is thing) to the 3 or the new g.

Yeah ok. Only on an internet forum where one does not bow down in supreme **** worship to the snoozes offered from the jap 'big 3' does one get called that.
Rest assured, if I were what you say, I'd just tell you and several others here to just go **** yourself and die painfully. But since Im not, I'll instead tell you to just kill yourself quickly.

If you say so, little girl. Its cute that you seem to think I care though.
So anyway, like I was saying, the tl is just a sad breathed-on accord with no street cred and the backing of non-enthusiasts to keep it popular.

I dont think the new Type-S will sell well. I also think the reg. TL should have that amount of HP.
Being the owner of a CL-S, I can tell you that the 260hp/FWD thing isnt that bad. Comparable to RWD/AWD of course not. Ive got new sways, shocks, springs and a tower brace it can hold its own on the twisties. With the addition of eaders/thermobock spacers/intake and exhaust its got more than stock, and still torque steer isnt that bad, its not like it rips the wheel out of your hands or anything. Even stock it was a solid car. You just have to rem. you can floor it out of the apex of a turn, you'll get dragged across the road by spinning wheels!
