Stopped by for a visit with my Acura dealer on Saturday. He took my deposit for a TL-S with 6speed trans. He is not sure if it is full manual or shift auto., but the codes are in the computer for it. Silver/black or Black/parchment were the preferences. He didn't have color sample for agean blue, the new color. In January, there is a Acura dealer meeting in Las Vegas where they will be provided more details. Expect a February public announcement. Delivery is anticipated for April. Cost is agreed that it will not exceed MSRP and includes free lifetime oil changes. Verbal confirmation of memory seats, in dash 6 CD, no chrome door handles, front end minor sheet mods.

I forgot to add: TL-S will be in limited supply so sign up early. I am first on the list, but by the end of this week another three orders are anticipated. My dealer has sold out his MDX allotment through Feb. as well. Not even a floor model to look at.

Can you provide details on the dealer that took your deposit?? I spoke with 2 dealers here that say they will not take any orders yet. Bummer....

snook789

bombs I am almost sure the agean blue, is the same blue from the SEAM show. This is the one I'm getting.
Only one more piece of info I am waiting on, is if it has the same 2 tone interior from that same car.

For those of you that didn't see the pictures, here is the blue color I am hoping for, and the interior

Seems like the headrests are of a third color...maybe its just the flash. Anyone who went to the show remember if it is the same? Just curious.

I like that color, too bad, I just got my 2001 TL about 1 1/2 months ago, man, if I waited, I could have gotten the TL-S, but what's the point of waiting, I love my TL.

I wonder if the current Comptech, Mugen, AEM mods will fit the new TL-S?

snook789

Oh ya, I don't see them redesigning any of that. AEM will be different. Will be like the CL-S is now, with a longer throttle body.
So the AEM CAI that there working on now for the CL-S should be the one will use. Just a guess.
Headers, springs, shocks, wheels ect should all me the same.
My guess

TITAN3.2TL

AWESOME! I hope your right, Snook! I am going to try and get a TL-S, but I want to keep the $3,500 worth of mods I just bought! The 30-35 HP from those ought to put the TL-S around 290-295! SWEET!

$1000 deposit was required
And no, yellow was not among the available colors.

Crzy Acura

so whats the deal with the TL-S? Whats it gonna have? If you put a deposit down dont they tell you somthing about the car?

bombs

As posted earlier last week, the dealer confirmed memory seating, 6CD in dash, 260 to 270 HP, 6speed (though not clear if manual or shift auto), new front end sheet metal, tilt p/s mirror. He was not sure about the fog lights. More details will be available in January. Also gold color is dropped.

Tag66: Not all the info is correct... No 6 - speed for '02. We will take deposits on '02 TL Type-S. I will order them close to x-mas for march delivery. Any questions call or e-mail me. (201) 934-8200... ramseyacur@aol.com.

Hey RamseyAcuraGSM,

Thanks for the "inside" info...do all dealers know about the 01' TL-S..and are all taking deposits on them!? If they haven't heard any info regarding the new car, is there any info that we can give them to make them aware?! Thanks again...it's always nice to hear the inside truth.

snook789

RamseyAcuraGSM
Couple questions I was wondering if you can find out
1. Does it come with foglights ?
2. Is a Body Kit going to be available
3. Will the 2 tone Interior be an option

Thanks!

Guest

Hey RamseyAcuraGSM:

Will the upgraded TL with 235hp also be availabel in Mar'01.

Thanks.

TommyAmrani

yeah.... WHATEVER TIM ASKED ??????????????????

oracion

So how much is the MSRP?

Guest

First I would like to thank you all for the replies...I will give any and all info I possess on the upcoming vehicles as I get the accurate information... The official release of the '02 Acura 3.2TL Type-S is March '01. It will be limited at first. There are limited colors... Exterior colors are Black, Blue, Pearl White, Dark Green, and Silver. No confirmation of fog lights standard. There is no two-tone interior from the factory. There are companies that two-tone an existing leather interior. The Acura body kit did not fare well with '00/'01 TL's so I would doubt the availability of it (but who really knows). There is no release of MSRP, but a good guess is $31,000-$32,000 + Navigation (The only option except accessories). I will post often and please feel free to e-mail and I will do what I can to respond asap. Thanks Again for all the responses. Michael

snook789

Michael, thanks for repling. Its nice to have an Acura dealer on the board.
Just thinking of my question on the body kit, being that there is no body change for the 2002 TL's (except minor front changes which probably means fogs and my guess a grill change) the 99-01 TL OEM kits should be the same.
Also for your info, the 2002 TL's will have clear tail lights (most likely Inspire Tail lights, maybe just on the type S, I don't know) and white guages.

Guest

You are right it's the same body from 99-01, but there are changes to be made to the front, and rear fascias. So who knows if the sides will change. Also I did hear about the clear lights off of the Inspire. The car will have the titanium gauges, VSA, In dash 6-CD Changer, Memmory Seat linked to the remotes, 17" Inch wheels (Maybe different style than the 3.2CL-S). And maybe others as well. Thanks for the response, and I enjoy the questions. It will be my pleasure to share with the info as it unfolds.
Michael

Red Hot TL

I hope it's a six speed manual, that'll kick ass! it'll become a true performance/luxury sedan!

Does anyone know the price for new TL-S?
How much is our TL's trade in value?
I like the interior of CL-S above, it is totally sporty just like E55 and M5.
I was just thinking about trading TL for S2K or other choice.

Guest

Michael Panitz? Were you formerly with Greenwich Acura in Greenwich, CT? Are you the guy who had the modded GS-R, black?

I think my wife bought her car from you in '95.

Lrpba300

WOW!All sounds good, except for color's??? I was going 2 do some mods to current TL, but will wait 4 Tl-S, & hopefully other colors. I might be able 2 trade in leased car by then? I hope the dealer gives a good trade-in value for a well kept y2k TL!!

Can't wait to see pictures!

Yes I was with Greenwich Acura, and yes I was racing a '94 Integra GS-R in Black, then a '95 GS-R in Red. Thanks for remembering me.

I hate to flood you with further questions, but has there been any information released as to whether or not the seat style is changing? (i.e. CL-S seats)

And, of course, as soon as you get MSRP information I'm sure we're all dying to see it...

Thanks for all the info!

No release of info, but we're all hoping for the CL-S Style (Recaro) seats. I think they'd be stupid not to. So I would say confidently it would have the sport seats. Take Care,
Michael

snook789

Down Boy! I know your getting excited
I can see the next TL meet we have in Florida, RAdams will be the first one there with his TL-S
** He takes out his calculator and figures out just what it will cost him to get out of his 2000 TL lease ***
I also heard TL-S will have CL-S seats

Guest

Snook - Stop it you're killing me... Too funny. Thanks for the laugh. But I do look forward to the next TL/CL Meet in the NY/NJ area...

Another Jersey resident here looking to buy the TL Type S. Michael, how many preorders have you taken already? Since it looks as though it will be limited, I'm still trying to see if I can get it right when it comes out (if I do, I should preorder now), but it looks as though I have to wait till around Thanksgiving (when my lease for my current car ends). It should be around $34,000 with navi right?

MafiosoTL

you know fellas, i hate all this new info coming out!!! I just ordered a 330ci, shiiit. maybe sell the TL when i can and get the TL-S, but then again i can always just transfer over to the bimmer forum and talk about how i shitted on the TL-S
