I was just getting ready to ask this question.

2002TLSNavi

I got it from Open Road Acura or East Brunswick.

I asked to put a deposit down on a silver with black, was told it would be built in October, and to the dealer by end of October.

FORD5L

Do they have the new Brochures for the Type-S at the dealership yet? Or any word on when they will?

TorontoR

Some more pics a buddy of mine took yesterday taken in the Car and Driver Magazine parking lot. He also got lots of pics of the new G35, Altima, Lexus LS460, Shelby and a bunch more in Ann Arbor, MI.

His comments on the TL S, looks like way too much wheel gap thanks to the fugly wheels and no Aspec kit on the car. I wish all TLS had the kit by default.

dezzzmond

I agree. The wheel gap is too much. Its weird they only put 17"s on the Type S. The ASPECs had 18"s.

TriniBwoy

Can you post them?

TorontoR

Don't want to detract from this thread so I'll just include in external link:

nice link

chill_dog

Try HERE ...scroll down about two-thirds of the way or so and look by type...check out the coupes and sedans in particular.

TorontoR

come on lazy people, a link is a link, if its not 'clickable' and God forbid you have to copy and paste it in your browser and it takes 2 seconds longers. Females dogs always gotta complain about something.

TorontoR

^^^ sorry for the outburst above, just snapped. Carry on guys.

ITL

I DID copy it...link no worky, smartass

chfields

link works fine...

TorontoR

Works just fine, you need to be schooled in the copy and paste game.

I would be VERY unhappy to see TLs or RLs at Avis. I can't stand the thought of some stock, non-navi, totally stripper TL being used as a rental.

neuronbob

Thanks for the link. I'd love to live near C & D HQ.

"The 2007 Acura TL Type-S can't compete with the offerings from Lexus, BMW, and Infiniti."

In what respect? If your talking about FWD vs. RWD and pure hp then fine. Even then, the FWD TL can outrun even the IS in the slalom and lane passing. The TL might be FWD but the level of performance IMHO that the TL delivers is comparable- not equal but comparable. As far as luxury, technological gadgets and being an entry level luxury performance sedan, the TL IMHO does compete with the aforementioned manufacturers.


Just my .02

Moving Target

I think if the price of the TL is at or around (within $1500) then it's tough to pick the Acura because it is behind the others in features and is less HP, less torque (I think), and doesn't have AWD.

It's just not a segment leader. Don't get me wrong, it's still a great car but the others have had major updates and that won't come to the TL until 2009, at which time the TL will probably become the clear winner.

Still, it will probably still sell well because it likely will be less ($1500 is nothing to sneeze at if you're at the top of what you can afford), plus Honda is a great company and it's still a great car.

TLkris

nice link...

I guess it is now confirmed that the BMW 335 sedan will be released.

TLkris

One thing I like about the Type-S based on Edmunds.com 'First Drives' is that on the automatic transmission, the Type-S has 'rev-matching' on down-shifts.

ACCURATEin

TorontoR.... Thanks for the pictures.

I like the blue...its a lot more vibrant than the ABP.

Legend2TL

From http://hondanews.com/CatID3011?mid=2...58199&mime=asc

Features exclusive to the TL Type-S include:

* Increased damping rates for superior handling
* Rear spring rate increased
* A solid front anti-roll bar and thicker rear anti-roll bar
* Damper mount stiffness increased 400 percent for enhanced response and feel
* Exclusive master cylinder for enhanced brake feel
* Brembo 4-piston front brake calipers
* Available 235/45R17 Bridgestone Potenza RE 030 high-performance "summer" tires on automatic and manual transmission models

What's interesting is they discuss a Type-S exclusive master cylinder and stiffer damper mounts over the standard TL.

johnAboy

wow...now that's a parking lot.

cM3go

I believe some of these components are already on the current 6MT TL

I don't mind driving something else for a change sometimes, it keeps you on your toes on what else the market offers. If Acura/Honda wants to start selling to rental it wouldn't bother me, they have their reasons I guess, its not like it wouldn't maybe boost their sales and outlook for thoses that may have never driven an Acura.

Acuraboy7

They don't buy thoses from Acura tho, its more trouble for the rental company to get the car, most of the time they won't bother and will just buy something else in the same class.

Acuraboy7

Yesterday I saw an older type S symbol on the back of a gold TL at first from a far I thought maybe it was one, when I caught up to it, it was some lady in her early 40s was driving it, so asked her what gives? and she said "her son put it on there" I told her to slap him.

Pricing for the 07 TLs is finally release on VTEC.net

http://www.vtec.net/news/news-item?news_item_id=619435

vc123

well many ppl said the TYPE S came out at the wrong time which is kinda TRUE... i like TL more than g35, ES, and the BMW 3 series. if ur talkinga bout speed tl S will not beat the 335 and the g35 but they can beat them some where else somethign like the sound system and the comfort TL is nicer in those ways

if u want a pure power car then don't go for TL go for 335 or g35
if u want a car that's overall good then TL is the car

Texas

Also noticed that the Acura site has the 07 T/L up....they offer different wheels for the TpS ...at a price of course....also looks like new colors for 07

BustedJack

So if I buy the "new" type-S emblem. Are you going to talk shit to me too when you pull up next to me ?

cuz the type S will mean "type supercharged"

I was wondering if Acura is using dual color LEDs for the different interior of the cars rather than specific LED's for each car. If so, it may be able to get changed in the NAV somehow.

ITL

highly unlikely.

:ibtheyremodelspecific

too expensive and redundant otherwise...

Acuraboy7

it was the old emblem, but I like i said I got all excited cuz I saw it from a far at first, once I saw the bottom of the bumper and everythin else I was sad

levon1830

It's amazing what a good photographer can do. The TL-S wheels actually look good in this pic!

BBoz

That's not a good photographer, that's Photoshop.

Donte99TL

Any one have official 0-60 and 1/4th mile times for the type-s yet. I want to see how it's going to compare to the new G35.

AcurasGhost

Yeah, the new photos and tours of the 2007 TL are out at Acura.com. When you go on the tours .. click on the labels in the picture for a further detail about things. Plus pricing, etc.

I was talking to the parts guy and he said it might be pretty difficult to re-do the wiring for the mirrors ... fyi for people who will try it soon.
