Would anyone know if the power or assists on the car may have been toned down due to the car being in pre-delivery status? I know most cars being made have a pre-delivery setting and have to be "activated" at the dealership.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and guessing that is the reason for the heavy steering and the lack of awe.....

Looks like forgot what you said. You said the its a same as the Evo... unless the tsx have ayc too...
I said for the ayc is not the same . The turbo was an example.
Because the "same principle" and the "same" is different.

"Do a google of ayc and sh awd. its the same thing . As far as the tsx being an evo, no but because its a honda you will have a sea of parts for the car and the crowd mitsu is tring to get will see the tsx and go to it. Its a honda. Thats if the tsx is 260 turbo awd. Right now it's rumors that pointing to the real thing. No more off topic"

Relax nothing happend , just a little correction .
Actually i dont know what the R.I.F. is.

NO I said " google search ayc and sh awd is the same principle. ayc vectors the rear wheels and does the sh awd. The diff with the honda version is it also sends torque to the front as well mitsu does not. As for mitsu they now have the s awd and the diff modes. Principles are the same. And R.I.F is reading is fundamental.
(remember those commercials )
My point was mitsu will not take many buyers from other companies when their brand names are better and have toys with their cars as well.

Thats with most german cars like merc,bmw,ect. I doubt mitsu does that on their cars.

i wonder if the handling of the new tsx will be close to the evo ix....i might go test drive one just to see if i like it....does anyone know why the lexus is350 is rwd and the is250 is available in awd....the is350 has 305hp...if it was awd then it would be right up there close to the evo x...they almost look like they are related...just look at the taillights on both cars

Doubt it, I would imagine the performance would be more like the rumored ralliart, but than again, it really depends how much the TSX will cost.

why are you twisting what you said? And that is why i did bring up the turbo, for better undestanding for hmmm less experienced ones.
just because the same principle thats doesn't mean the same. OR the same performance , so there for not even a same class.
