Can anyone who owns a 2012 or 2011 TL confirm if the steering is torque sensing as in the following from the Acura TL site: "Torque-sensing variable power assist makes steering easy during low-speed activities like parking. "

Hey, it looks like Acura corrected the info on their website to reflect that the new TL does not include Torque Sensing steering, a componet of the belt drive system. It looks like someone from Acura is paying attention to this site after all.
Under the tab Chassis now reads:

Steering= type Electric variable power-assisted rack-and-pinion (EPS) - thanks Osaze!!!
