2011 Acura TL SH-AWD

The story

I was looking for a fun manual 4 door daily. Just sold my R1 because me and my wife were expecting a baby. I was super impressed with how great honda transmissions feel (The goal was to find a 8th gen SI). Then this Acura TL popped up on marketplace. First though was oh it's probably an AUTO and very heavy to be powered by a K series. Acura never released how many manuals they produced in this model but based on research these are pretty rare. If you ever have a chance to drive one of these take the opportunity. I wish I knew about these cars sooner. Definitely one of the best OEM audio systems for it's time. I wish I knew that these are awesome cars sooner even tho alot of the community considers them to be Ugly Ducklings, which makes me like it even more.
