A Nice Read...

January 5, 2006
Interior Complex
The world, inside a TL.


It’s not enough to call the 2006 Acura TL a luxury vehicle. It’s so much more than that. Inside that sturdy exterior lies your own personal environment, completely reliant upon your every whim, with only your comfort and convenience in mind.

In the TL, luxury thrives in the details. At first glance, it’s hand-selected perforated leather and expertly beveled audio knobs. But there’s more at work underneath, with tight door seams that close with a solid thud and LED backlit gauges that illuminate progressively for easy reading in varying light conditions. And to reduce driver fatigue, the floor-hinged accelerator pedal follows the natural motion of your foot and ankle.

To complement its smooth ride, the TL features soft, durable leather. Every comfortable, supportive seat is upholstered in hand-selected, American-produced leather. And to help maintain its quality of the long haul, it’s perforated for ventilation.

The interior comforts of the 2006 TL start, naturally, with the wide, plush leather seats, and an 8-way power driver’s seat that allows you to configure your optimal driving position. Controls allow you to manipulate the seat up, down, backward, forward, and to change the pitch of the seat and back independently. For exceptional long-term comfort, the driver’s seat also features a cushion that reduces vibration, and a seat-heating system to keep you warm. A power adjustable lumbar control compliments the curve of your lower back, and snug side bolsters will support you however the road bends.

Larger seats and an enhanced posture position carry over to the front passenger seat which comes standard with a 4-way power adjustment. Like the driver’s seat, the front passenger enjoys a power-adjustable lumbar support and two level seat-heating system.

To further your comfort, fine tune your TL’s interior temperature, or allow its automatic climate control system to do it for you. Both the driver and front passenger enjoy separate controls for independent airflow. And if direct sunlight is warming the driver, but not the passenger, the onboard GPS linked, solar-sensing feature will communicate with the TL’s automatic climate control system to adjust the driver’s temperature settings automatically.

Whether you’re in urban traffic or on a pastoral country road, the TL’s air filtration system helps keep smog, dust, and pollen out of the cabin. It’s capable of filtering virtually 100% of particulate matter 8 microns or larger (the size of most pollen) and approximately 40% of particles down to 0.3 microns in size (the size of most diesel emissions).

So not only does the interior of the 2006 Acura TL envelop you in soft, comfortable leather, it maintains your ideal temperature, and ensures that the air in the cabin is clean and clear. And that’s before factoring in the moonroof and the 8-speaker surround sound system.

Combined with incredible performance, reliability, and stylish looks, the Acura TL is a steal starting at around $33,325. It’s time for you to take a closer look.

Sounds like your run-of-the-mill marketing drivel.

No, I did not write the article. I got it from an e-mail newsletter our Acura local dealer sent. So yes, it is definitely part of marketing/advertising

Nevertheless, it makes feel good I own a TL

sounds awesome. Once again it reminds me there is no other car with same value for the money on this planet.


From somehere I read "People see TL as "Unbelievable value for the money". GM needs to learn this strategy"

yeah that was



However, having an '04 and driving a '06 as a loaner, I did like the feel of the '06 seats, it could just be because its new, but I did feel more sturdiness.

Quick question. I thought only the driver seat had lumbar?

Intresting article to read.
