Anyone know when or if the 3rd gen tl will have an "s-type" type model?

besides the A-SPEC package sold at the dealers...

I've seen the real A-SPEC at car shows and on the net and it looks HOT...want to know if I should wait longer to get a new TL

There is no definitive rumor or fact regarding either a coupe TL or "Type-S". This has been discussed many times with no resolution other than that Acura tends to make these changes in the 2nd or 3rd year of a particular model.

This is just my opinion - but I think they are going to have a hard time adding any more horsepower until they go to all wheel drive. Then they are going to have to add enough to offset the extra weight and drag just to stay even. They new RL may pave the way for this, though.

in some ways, I can see where you are comming from... i love my mom's z. I bet her car was definatly an eye catcher when it first came out.

Damn im jealous already that they might come out with a car looking like that, hmm well hopefully i will be making enough to go in for the splurge

I showed the picture to my wife. She would order one in Redondo Red Pearl today if they were available. She says I can keep the sedan.
