^ Daym beat me by a hair
Welcome.

The big difference is the engine. then there is slightly different suspension tunning, larger 17 inch wheels, different seats and steering wheel.

TL Type-S provides 260 horsepower as opposed to the TL's 225 horsepower, with the extra power coming from a higher compression ratio, a two-stage induction system, a larger throttle body (with no decrease in gas mileage), free-flowing exhaust, high-performance intake valves and camshafts, and modified variable valve (VTEC) timing. Type S also comes with an increased steering ratio and a firmer suspension, thanks to stiffer shocks, a slightly larger rear stabilizer bar, and 17-inch alloy wheels with Michelin P215/50R17 high-performance tires.
Notably, the Type-S comes standard with Acura's Vehicle Stability Assist, an electronic stability program that uses anti-lock braking and traction control to keep the car from sliding. Yaw, lateral g, speed and steering sensors all provide input, and the throttle and brakes are automatically reduced or applied as needed.


Oh and the Type S has a cool shift knob.

in a nutshell TL-S is faster, stiffer ride, tl-p still quick and smoother ride. both are same platform and share most of the same parts. if tl-s had a manual tranny it would be the best sports sedan on the road under 40-50k IMO.
