Acura says its 2003 model 3.2 TL sedan will cost $28,980 for the base model while the high-performance TL Type-S will be priced at $31,330.

Both TL models are on sale now.
The 2003 3.2 TL has a 225 horsepower V-6 engine with 5-speed Sequential SportShift automatic transmission, four-wheel-independent double-wishbone suspension and 16-inch wheels and tires.

The TL Type-S boosts engine output to 260 horsepower, features a sport-tuned suspension for even more responsive handling and adds 17-inch wheels and tires.
The destination and handling charge for both is $480.

Desert Mist will be replacing Naples Gold and Royal Ruby will be replacing Firepepper Red.

Sounds like a different shade of the old gold and red colors.

 

This is what I got for a 03TL Type S with Nav.:

This is the price I got from a local dealer.

2003 3.2 TL Type S with navigation, wheel locks
and splash guards is $32,631 plus tax, license, dmv and CA tire fee ($5.00).

This price does include destination and all other fees and charges.

 

I thought they were redesigning it for 2003?

 

Nope, just a carry over this year, 04 will see the redesign.
