6-speed auto? a Honda first?

[Kaphwan]

Does anyone have any more info on the 6 speed auto that is supposed to be standard on the ZDX? twin clutch perhaps? I wish there is more info

[ZDX Type-S Zero]

Get in line. I figured they just added another clutch fan to the Fit's 5 speed auto/ paddle shifter system... LOL! I wanted to know more aobut the 3.7 myself; whether it would run like an MDX or a TL type-s.

LOL!


Im sure Acura wont dissapoint. The way this car drives is going to be the biggest factor for sales of this vehicle.
I guess we'll just have to wait a few more months until Acura releases the car

The 5 speed in the Accords is a blessing. can only imagine how nice the 6 speed will be. :)

Honda has made some faulty automatic transmissions. Late 90s & early 00 Accords, TLs, Preludes have been known to be bad. Some of their manual tranmissions (the new ones) suffer from third gear popping out! It happened to me when i drove my friends RSX!!

I hope they get it 100% with this new 6 speed auto which from what the vids are saying, it'll be the new platform for acura transmissions.

Which is why we need the Prelude back since it was the testing platform for so much in the 80's and 90's that is still used today, like ATTS.

There is no market for small sport coupes. Toyota axed the Celica and since then all you see are 5 door hatch-wagons taking over that segment.

Aren't Preludes heavy? lol ?

There is still a small market for sports compact like the Scion TC and Civic SI.

I can't wait to compare the Accord Crossover to the ZDX.

You cant.
They are two different vehicles for two different segments. The Accord Crossover is aimed at Subaru buyers to lure away Legacy/Outback potentials....

I am not familiar with these new "manu-matic" transmissions. I am glad that "launch-control" is still handled by simply pressing the right pedal;-)

(sorry about the necro-bump)
