2009 Acura TL

Must of seen 2389289382939028390283 commercials boasting the new TL and its new POWERFUL engine. Anybody scared of the glorified accord with a new rice burning 300+ hp motor.... seems there following suit from lexus, infiniti and nissan and trying to compete w/ our 335's

Honda loses a lot of power due to their drive trains.

300HP Honda = a 260HP BMW.

No torque, no glory.

With honda though you will want a lot of horsepower. That is so you can get to your destination as quickly as possible so you can get out of the darn thing.

i meant by bumping their HP to 300+ to match bmw, like nissan did with the maxima/g35 260 to 306 and lexus came out w/ the IFV, and now acuras glorifying their accord/TL to 300+ hp.

There are plenty of cars that had 300hp before the 335. The STI has been around since 2004.
