images have surfaced online of the long-awaited type-s.

286 hp
258 lb-ft

looks great, but they should have brought hp up to 300 to compete with the G35 and the IS350, both rated at 306 hp.

btw, there seem to be 2 distinct versions; compare the tail lights, wheels, and tailpipes between the black and grey cars. kind of strange, don't know what acura's intentions are. i say go for the grey car, looks more aggressive.

According to the badges on the trunk... Black one is TL, Grey one is TL Type-S.

acura needs to come out with an awd for the TL, the RL is awesome

8/9/2006 9:17:40 AM

OH SHIT

I am such an idiot

The article was about Type-S, so I thought both were Type-S. I didn't bother looking at the badges

8/9/2006 9:18:52 AM

its about time they brought the type s over here. now if only they can get with the program and give it awd cause then i'd rock it.

No one's gonna take Acura seriously until the TL is RWD.

8/9/2006 1:09:35 PM

AWD TL-S would be our next car... TL will probably be our next car anyways... we have nothing but love for our TSX

but the wifey is also looking hard at the Lexus IS 350 or 250 AWD and the G35x

can we say AMG-copied exhaust?

8/9/2006 11:03:25 PM

I don't know what Honda's big boner for FWD luxury cars is all about.

If you want to take that class, you need a better performing RWD car.

Not a almost-as-good FWD car. Those people have money, they can afford to pay more.

2007 Acura MDX

Is it just me, or does it look too mch like the Saturn SUV (Vue?) from the front? Gorgeous interior, though! And BTW, the TL in the pics above, esp. the Type-S, looks too much like an American mid-size car from the back, like some Buick. Who is designing Japanese cars these days?

8/26/2006 2:10:00 AM

Heh, the front end of that MDX reminds me too much of an aztek.

Japanese cars have been getting weird looking as of late.

"The car features a new 3.7-liter SOHC VTEC V6 with 300 horsepower and 275 pound-feet of torque. EPA fuel economy is an estimated 17/22 mpg for city/highway driving. Pricing is expected to range from $41,000 to $48,000, depending on options."

cool another expensive suv for suburban soccer moms!

8/29/2006 8:22:43 PM

Those wheels look the same as the Altima SE-R

8/30/2006 1:30:40 AM

the tl type S is pretty damn impressive in my drunken opinion even though I hate imports
