I was wondering if anyone's driven the new Acura the accelerates the outside rear wheel in turns to improve handling? I keep seeing commercials for it and I was wondering how well it really works. It seems like a good idea.

 

which acura

 

I forget, but I'll look it up right now lol.

I'm pretty sure it's the RL. With its S(uper)H(handling)-AWD. I can see this becoming the new badge to have on civics. I know the Prelude was type SH but that was legit lol.

 

the new RL has the new AWD system from honda
they say maybe the future NSX might have it also
its alrite but i rather have quattro though

the preludes SH i think refured to its transmission
the preludes are all FWD

i bought the Civic will ever be AWD

 

If it does it automatically, then it may in fact be better than the scooby, and evo systems, whereby they only react once you have lost traction, (granted it will be damned quick!). I think it may be a bit more of a gimmick though, as I'm sure the scooby, and evo rally derived cars would have come up with a system like this years ago.

 

all the JDM luxo cars are coming up wit there AWD systems
LEXUS had the GS430 go down a san fransico curvy street slowly that was covered wit snow
it was goin down hill slow

lets see them do what AUDI did drive up a steep as ski ramp

Nissan and Mitsu always had the AWD cars the skyline GTR, EVOs, GTO(3000GT)
honda/acura now have awd

 

magazines have praised the RL's all wheel drive system... some claim it to be the new benchmark.

 

dorve it, didn't think it was all that, of course scared the **** out of the sales man, I told him that I really wanted to see what all the hipe was about and he said OK. His mistake.

 

didn't drive, did the TL & G35, though reviews of SH-AWD for RL are pretty damn good.
