The MDX and RDX are good starts, but Acura needs to A.) Give the TSX a better engine, whether it be the turbo from the RDX or the J32 from the old generation TL. Neither Lexus nor Infiniti have any cars with 4-cylinders so Acura should at least give the TSX the turbo if it wants to keep up. B.) Give the TL AWD. Since Acura is obviously too stubborn to give it RWD, they could at least compromise and give it AWD. It doesn't matter to the true enthusiast if the TL holds more Gs on the skidpad than a G35 or Is350 (which, surprisingly enough, it actually does), all they hear is FWD. C.) This is the most obvious- Acura needs a V8. But, if the folks Honda just can't come to their senses, they should at least put a supercharger on the new J37 and make it an option on the RL and MDX, both of which could use more power. So far, the RL isn't even on the radar in luxury sedans, the TSX isn't even on the radar in upscale sedans, the RSX is dead (as well it should be), the NSX still isn't out yet, and the new Infiniti G35 is a lot better than the TL. I'm just hoping that Acura won't miss a great opportunity to blow our minds all over again like they did in 2004 with the then redesigned (and now unfortunately outdated) TL.
