The third-generation model retained the transverse V6 of its two predecessors, but for the first time included an all-wheel-drive option. But while the torque-vectoring Super Handling-All Wheel Drive is an appreciated addition when you&#8217;re putting out over 300 horsepower, performance oriented drivers were appropriately miffed that both the TL Type-S and a manual transmission were no longer available. <\/p>\n<p>Thankfully, shortly after the 2009 TL went on sale, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/make\/acura\/\">Acura<\/a> announced plans to add a manual gearbox back to the lineup. Unfortunately, it would take an entire year before it hit the market. Now it&#8217;s here, and we&#8217;re ready to find out if the Acura TL SH-AWD six-speed can fill the Type-S-sized hole in our hearts.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"postgallery\">\n<p><strong>Gallery: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/review-2010-acura-tl-sh-awd-6mt\/low\/\">Review: 2010 Acura TL SH-AWD 6MT<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/review-2010-acura-tl-sh-awd-6mt\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/02\/01acuratl6mtreview2010_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/review-2010-acura-tl-sh-awd-6mt\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/02\/02acuratl6mtreview2010_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/review-2010-acura-tl-sh-awd-6mt\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/02\/03acuratl6mtreview2010_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/review-2010-acura-tl-sh-awd-6mt\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/02\/04acuratl6mtreview2010_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/review-2010-acura-tl-sh-awd-6mt\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/02\/05acuratl6mtreview2010_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\"><em><strong><small>Photos Copyright (C)2010 Sam Abuelsamid \/ Weblogs, Inc.<\/small><\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2010\/02\/15\/2010-acura-tl-sh-awd-6mt-review\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Continue reading <em>Review: 2010 Acura TL SH-AWD 6MT is a mouthful, not a handful<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2010\/02\/15\/2010-acura-tl-sh-awd-6mt-review\/\">Review: 2010 Acura TL SH-AWD 6MT is a mouthful, not a handful<\/a> originally appeared on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\">Autoblog<\/a> on Mon, 15 Feb 2010 11:57:00 EST.
