Acura makers and designers are fools...

The makers and designers of Acura are fools. Why don't they offer a sport coupe in their line-up? Why did they not make a CL replacement? Why are they so damn conservative with their designs?!

Why not make a TL Type-S coupe? If so, it might look something like this:

I'd get one if they did! But they don't, so a 1-series is in my future instead.

eh, they look good and all but FWD does nothing for me.

reason why there is no CL is because there is an Accord v6 6 speed...

i think the TL-S needs to be AWD optional and a quad cam motor with 330 hp, but thats just me

Thats what should happen soon. But I hear a manual won't be an option with SH-AWD. I had a 2007 Acura TL-S auto and it was the best car I HAVE owned so far. I just wish I had purchased a manual, I might still own it then.

Worse yet, they'll never do a rwd car. Shame.

And even if they made a rear wheel drive manual, it would weigh too much.
Acura: mostly luxury, some performance.

I mean the only(luxury company) that sells FWD is Acura. Ive had two RSX-S in the past and there was no way I was going to buy an other Acura since all of them are FWD. All the new Acura's are worst than the previous model(CSX,TSX,RDX). Too bad their cars are Bulletproof(apart for the v6 tranny) well built good prices, short options list, good on gas.
