How often do you see a Type S ? And have you ever seen a red one ?

I got my Type S recently. I only know of one other carbon TL-S in my area. I commute to Bridgewater NJ and I have seen maybe 5 of them in 5 years. 2 black, one silver, one blue and one white. I knew the girl who owned the white and the guy with the blue. Other than that I almost never see ANY TL-S's. I look for them in parking lots and never see them. And I have NEVER seen a red one, ever. Any idea how many acura actually made of this car ?

No idea the production numbers, but I would say in the ATL area one outta every 7-8 TL's, I see a type S. And there is a red one, look up Moroccan Red Pearl.

There was a 2007 MRP one here for sale a few months ago. It had aftermarket wheels, 65K and was $18K. The wheels on it were horrendous in the pictures.

I would say I see about 1 type S a week (if that) here in the far chicago suburbs. Thats just a guesstimate as im sure there goes a few weeks without seeing one or maybe I have seen 2 in one day. My work commute doesnt take me on any busy roads or highways so im limited on how many cars I see. I think MRP and KBP are the two most rare colors on the TLS. When I do see a TLS here around CHicago its almost always black, white, or silver. Then followed by Carbon bronze, then lastly MRP and KBP.

I very rarely see a Type S in Kansas City-unless I'm at the dealership.

I've only seen a MRP at our National Acurazine meet.

I see them from time-to-time. Mostly WDP, Black or Silver.

Lately - the past few months - I've seen 'em more often. I guess because they're coming of lease or going in as trade and so entering the used market.

But I don't think I've ever seen one in MRP.

^here in Houston, they're everywhere.
type-s AND base models.
Like I said, just as common.

4G's are getting very common as well.
I see at least 4 daily, everywhere I turn.

Everyday, when I walk out to my driveway

I see TL's regularly, but Type-S maybe once a week.

About once a week when I'm not in the neighborhood LOL. My one neighbor has a black Type-S, and the neighbor up the street a bit has a silver Type-S.

Outside of the neighborhood I sometimes see a red one around here, but other than that I just see regular TL's...

I think I have seen on red type s and I believe it was imported as we never got a red type s up here. And I see TLs every where, seems like everyone has one.

In the course of a month I see every single color, I would say MRP I do see the least amount of though. I rarely see modded ones besides our local meets. Every now and again I'll see just a real slightly modded one like maybe only lowered, only rims. I saw one the other day that didn't have tint or anything but just had switchbacks and HID fogs.

There is only 2 Acura dealerships in my state and I live about an hour from it so 3G's not very common. Not RARE but not common. There's a black base that parks in my church parking lot. There's a Redondo Red one that parks where I work. Other than that I maybe see one or two 3G's a week. Type-S's forget it. On my way home from work a silver one zoomed by me. Other than that I hardly ever see them. Let alone a red one like mine.
