6-Speed Front Drive: 2005 Acura TL

DailyTurismo Late Model 6-speed, Acura, Japanese, TL 4

Honda might not have produced the world’s first front-wheel-drive car (that is arguably the 1989 Victoria Combination by Société Parisienne) or even the most successful front-wheel-drive seller (that’d be the Toyota Camry) or the fastest front-wheel-drive racecar (that’d be the Nissan GT-R LM Nismo) but they did build the best front drive sport compact sedans of the 1990s starting with the surprisingly fast Honda Predule, followed by the Acura Integra, then the RSX, and finally what you see here…which is a 6-speed manual equipped Acura TL. Find this 2005 Acura TL offered for $5,490 in Winnetka, CA via craigslist.

Oddly enough Honda continues this tradition with its Accord Coupe and even moving up market to their Acura […]

5k: French Fry: 1975 Renault 12 TL

DailyTurismo Uncategorized 12, FWD, Renault, TL 2

The Renault 12 is a car you don’t see often on the American streets today, certainly not because they were detestable piles of crap that broke down, rusted and failed catastrophically; but actually because they were sold in limited numbers and collectors keep them in climate controlled garages away from the prying eyes of potential […]
