Gettel Acura, the premier dealer of new and certified used Acura models in Sarasota, also serving the residents of the Tampa, St. Petersburg and Venice areas, is thrilled to welcome 2010 Acura TL SH-AWD 6-speed manual transmission model that is now available on the showroom floor as well as the online showroom. The new model with countless upgrades will set new standards in the luxury sedan segment and is the latest addition to the TL lineup which already has a SH AWD Sequential SportShift 5-speed automatic transmission model. As the new manual gearbox is lighter than the AT, it gives better acceleration and enhances the vehicle dynamics.

The 6-speed manual 2010 Acura TL SH-AWD model has a 3.7-liter VTEC V6 engine under its hood (the most powerful in Acura history) that pumps out 305 horsepower and 275 lb-ft. of torque making it the best performing Acura TL ever. The new manual transmission equipped TL SH-AWD allows the driver to take full advantage of the performance of the Acura SH-AWD system. During spirited cornering, SH-AWD seamlessly distributes more torque to the outside rear wheel to create a yaw moment to help the TL turn in more quickly and precisely, while also continuously apportioning drivetrain torque front to rear and left to right. The result is a remarkably balanced and precise all-wheel-drive performance sedan that excels year-round, not just during inclement weather.

The Sarasota Acura dealer is also happy to announce that the 2010 Acura TL SH AWD is available with a technology package which adds navigation, extensive electronics and a 10-speaker Acura/ELS Surround premium audio system. The combination of dramatic styling, exhilarating performance and an extensive array of electronics (including AcuraLink Real-Time Traffic with Traffic Rerouting and AcuraLink Real-Time Weather with radar image maps) ensures the Acura best selling sedan will appeal to sophisticated, tech-savvy motorists.
