Nice to again see what the TL-S is capable of. Those of you that have should consider yourselves fortunate and ignore those who automatically assume FWD = poor handling/massive understeer, etc.

So how many 3G TL-S owners agree with the handling review of the car?

I wonder what the major differences are between a base and type-s (suspension wise) I'm guessing completely new shocks/springs(obviously), and thicker/solid sways. Am I missing anything?

^^It's not that they don't just sell TL's in Japan, they don't have the Acura brand in Japan^^. The 3gen TL is specific to the Acura brand. Where as the RL is called Honda Legend.

Nice find, but what are the chassis differences between a stock base and a stock Type-S?
Is it just suspension? because in theory, if you get Tein SS or even just the A-spec suspension you should be right up there handling wise with the Type-S

I love the in car acceleration segments. It sounds just like MY Car. 
Wish I could turn going that fast without getting a ticket.

Here is the Japanese DK driving the Spoon Honda Legend. He seems to be enjoying himself in the sh-awd equipped car, so it's impressive when he gives a liking towards the american Acura TL.
