What do you define as a "beak looking grill"?

Re: A Challenge for all of you!

That's like the old adage: cheap, power, and reliability - you can only pick two.

The manual tranny is the hardest to find mated to larger engines as they were only designed for economy. Newer offerings have the "Shiftronic" automatics, but it's not the same unless you can find one with a dbl-clutch system.

Hate to say it, but your barf-in-throat inducing new for 2014 Acura RLX is the closest match, to arrive in a hybrid AWD powertrain with 7-speed dual clutch auto tranny.

Maybe you can buy a hood bra for it?
