Anyone know? 3rd Gen TL SOHC or DOHC?
3G TL is SOHC. The only V6 Honda/Acura ever made that was a DOHC was in the NSX.
Specifications can easily be found by googling or even looking through acurazine. What kind of specs are you looking for?
By the way, you're really only looking for base or Type-S specifications. The A-Spec was simply just a dealer add on package, more so for looks, with some suspension tweaks. No additional power, no change to brakes, no change to interior. As far as suspension goes, I think the A-Spec only lowered the car a little bit and made the shocks/springs a wee bit stiffer.

Yes. But only in the Australian market. Because they're located on the other hemisphere, they have a 2.3L engine instead of the more common 3.2L. It's honda's way of keeping up with the times. Their TLs are also RWD as opposed to FWD, and RHD instead if LHD.

Aspec is just a dealer added body kit
"The TL A-Spec kit will include:

Lightweight 18x8.5 alloy wheels

Those statements are not totally correct. Here is the info....

the 8.5 aspecs are NOT lightweight alloy wheels. they weight just as much as stock rims if not slightly more
and the performance brake pads are only for the rear.
^^^ yeah that's true. I have actually weighed the aspec wheel and tire against the type s wheel and tire and the aspec should be called the "heavy wheel package" compared to the 17" TL wheels. I suppose they pulled that out of their butts.
