cool on the 7-speed gear box for the M35...but what up with keeping it a M35???  why not at least the M37 yo!!!

I figured they will call it the M37 when it actually gets a 3.7 liter engine right?  And that revised M35 is the '09 model?  I thought the 7spd auto was coming on the '10 model...  did I miss something?

some of you, not to mention names, don't pay attention to the many posts on these subjects... I'll post again... the M35 gets the 7speed auto in its RWD iterations, not in the AWD iterations, and there are no plans to put the 3.7 into the car until its gets the complete redesign. 

Did anyone notice the sedan's rims suck big time, the seat heater turnstyle buttons and the new design of the spoiler?

Some questions are 'rhetorical'. No need for the attitude.


The way that's worded implies that the M35 and M35X both get a 7 spd, when as you mention, only the M35 non-AWD does.

I knew that!!!  I was actually listening!!!  But I think that was in another post no?  Or maybe i read that online


Are you talking about the M sedan or the G, because the M in the picture seems to have the same knobs for the seat temperature control...  I guess you would be talking about the G sedan because that one has the redesigned spoiler...

Most of the members here read stuff from lots of conflicting sources and things get confusing at times. Not to mention that we might actually miss a post on this forum on occasion. 

A couple of my observations:

- The red on that coupe hurts my eyes. It belongs on a fire truck or maybe a pickup truck with wood cladding on the sides.

- The rims on the coupe are excellent. The ones on the sedan - not so much. [Imagine a smiley throwing up, here.]

- The front end of the M looks ... well, swollen. Like maybe it has the mumps, or had a slap-fight with a bigger car and lost. I wish they would have changed that to make it trimmer and sleeker. Maybe the restyle will bring it into the 21st Century.

- When Acura put its 3.7-liter in the RL to replace the 3.5-liter for 2009, gas mileage went down by 1 or 2 mpg (right in the midst of $4 gas). Since the new M will have the 300+hp version of the 3.5, I'm okay with sticking with that engine. After all, if it lost gas mileage just to gain a few hp, it wouldn't be doing it any favors.


I'm anxious to see if the new 7-speed trans drives well. Why it's not in the V-8 version I don't know, but I suspect it's a supply issue.

Where do you see a red coupe?  I don't see one.
