What does the P in TL-P mean?
Hey guys I know this is a nooby question that has probably been answered 1,000 times but I haven't been able to find the answer in FAQ. I always see that non-Type-S models are referred to as TL-P's...like my 1999 MBP. What does the P mean?

your right, it has been asked a million times... and it wasnt used to describe the cars from 99-01 anyways b/c it was the only model...

so your 99 technically is just a TL.... not that the other ones had a P badge or anything either though.

Pansie, pussy, poor, pathetic, powerless, pimp

jk. its premium but we say P to all the non S owners. makes it easier instead of writing 99-01 tl and 02-03 tl premium. P pretty much covers it all

It takes time to learn, weather, making sure car is optimal shape, gate shifting, learning how to launch good tires, etc.... every thing helps.
