I guess Honda/Acura is saying that if the consumers want a coupe, we should look into the selection of coupes that Honda has.
The actual Type-S name has stopped, but the SH-AWD TL is a Type-S with a different name. Interior sportiness upgrades, suspension, wheels, and drive-train all match what the Type-S use to do.

Yeah, I figured that as much since they go from a 3.5 to the 3.7 option. The 4G TL just...looks...so...luxurious over sportiness. But I guess that can be a good thing for others. I do love the fact that it has SH-AWD though!

I liked the beak on the 4G, the interior of it is what I hate. Too many freaking buttons, on the steering wheel and the center console and no standard push button start, still! Back in 05 I was between the G35 coupe and TL, I chose the TL because the interior is gorgeous! My interior still draws admiration from my friends (one an owner of a 2012 Infinity M). If I can add push button start and play music thru my S3 via bluetooth, my car would be PERFECT!

Push to Start button is a pretty cool function. I think a member here actually did a mod for that on his 3G. Music via bluetooth would be great too but I've just settled with the AUX port that came with the car. I know that others use the iSimple or a similar product.
