Type S

What is the definition of Type S ? Jaguar also has a Type S. I considered Jaguar once but backed off. I think there is too much Ford in Jaguar including the platform.

And Jaguar is "S-Type". Nothing in common with the Acura "Type-S".

Per Acura (as stated in AutoWeek), the "S" in Type-S is for "Speed" and the "R" in Type-R is for "Racing."

The "Speed" part is interesting considering Acura's conservative image. I always thought it meant "Sport."

Is the use of "Speed" even politically correct?
