M45 in Newsweek

Post by **NY94J30** » Wed Apr 07, 2004 3:50 am

There's a big picture of the new M in the 12 April issue of Newsweek in an article titled, "Getting the Beat on BMW."

The article talks about the recent rise of Infiniti and Acura. It calls the M a "supersized G." Theres also a concept drawing of the new RL, which clearly jacked its rear facia and stance from the Mercedes SL, and is still expected to run a 6 - rated at 300hp.

I wonder when Acura will get on the ball and make some rear drive cars. The TL would be sweet in RWD, and the RL should be.

Has anybody heard if the RL is going to be RWD? Acura is nuts if they think they will sell many WWD cars in that class.

Still, I bet you that the AWD system will be front biased, unlike the G35 witch gives all of it's power to the rear wheels in dry whether. That's the way it should be so it drives like a RWD car when ther's no snow.
