All Acura RLs after 2005 comes standard with SH-AWD. They call it Super Handling AWD because when you make turns, the AWD system will transfer the torque in between left-rear wheel and right-rear wheel. Honda says that it improves performance on corners but some reviews say it still tends to understeer and feel like a fwd.

The M35 is option for the AWD version. If you choose M35x, it will come with nissan's intelligent AWD system. The M35 is fast because of its good engine performance and fast shifting transmission. The M35x is fun to drive and it feels like a rwd car because when the rear wheels slip the system will only transfer power to the front wheels.
