Acura TL
The new TL is giving rise to differences of opinion because of its controversial style. Although some are reluctant, others love it for its excellent precision handling. For 2011, the basic version will come with a 3.5-litre, 280-hp six-cylinder engine, while the all-wheel drive version will have a little more power thanks to a 3.7-litre, 305-hp engine, the same engine found in the RL.
