2007 TL Type-S (pics)

The Type-S returns to the lineup after a three year hiatus. The engine is mated to a new 5-speed automatic with paddle shifters, or a close-ratio 6-speed manual transmission. The regular TL comes with a 3.2-liter VTEC V6 producing 258 hp at 6200 rpm and 233 lb-ft of torque at 5000 rpm. Both the 3.2-liter and the 3.5-liter meet CARB LEV-II ULEV emissions requirements. Changes to the interior include a new 3-spoke steering wheel, new gauges with a spun metal look, and model-specific ambient lighting that is blue on the TL and red for the Type-S.

I agree, but it was nice to see those pics posted cleanly and fit-to-page. I don't remember seeing all of those in the ridiculous 07 thread, just a select few, and if they were in there, they definitely weren't posted in succession for easy viewing.

I like everything with exception to the Type-S rims.......

Is it me or could that be a rear-view camera top center of the rear plate...?
(Caveat - I have not read through the entire 07 thread...)

The Type S front looks like it lost the muscular look. It looks like it lost alot of weight. I don't like the front. However, I will be looking into modding the mirror

Looks Beautiful, I wonder what the buttons on the steering wheel do. The three buttons on the right side under the cruise control. The fog lights look kinda ugly in my opinion.

I think the thin lower aluminum? strip on the lower front bumper openings are pretty ugly on a black colored car because it is alot more noticeable. Imagine a front license plate on the car above, it looks as if it has braces on its front teeth.
