I noticed our TL type s is really rare. You see the base TL, G35, BMW 3 series and Lexus Is pretty much everywhere you go but seeing TL type S is like seeing porsche carrera. I reside in NY and i see one or two TL type s maybe once a week if i'm lucky. At most twice a week. Why is that? But i'm glad that our TL-S is rare. I like the fact that it stands out.

 

I don't know if I'd say "rare", but they are less common.

Kinda of like the BMW 335i - lots of other bimmers out there, but not so many 335i's.

I've heard/read that only about 10% of the 2007/2008 TL's produced are Type-S. Don't know if that's true or just unfounded internet rumor.

 

I've actually seen quite a few Type S's in my area.

 

I've had my Type-S about 2 months. I've only seen maybe 4 max Type-S's on the road. And I live in LA, I see thousands of cars everyday.

 

i have seen almost no type S before, only before i bought my type S, i only seen "a" CBP Type S, when i first saw it i saw like, damn those quad exhaust are so nice.......fast track...2 months later i traded in my 2007 S2000 for my Type S ^-^; best car i have own so far

 

I agree... I saw a type s last week... dropped with a full aspec... he was tailing me... it was a fellow aziner

not too many type s' out in ny at all...

mine looks like a base from the rear

 

Every TL-S I see in my area is driven by a chick!

 

i barely see any type s's as well but i see base models around a lot

 

only a hand full here in Hawaii

 

I see them pretty much daily (Tampa)

 

Another reason to own a TypeS. It is the kind of a car that when someone drive by you will take a second look. If you see an IS or G35, they are just too common and you really don't bother to look.

 

I see a good amount of them around Boston, but 95% of them are commuter cars with older people driving them

 

i see them everywhere

 

I've seen quite a few on the road and at the dealer. Finding a stick shit one is hard as hell, so many auto TL-s at the dealer.

 

ive seen a total of 6 in my lifetime

 

i see 'em at least every other day here (north atlanta)

 

I see them a lot, of course not as much as the TL-P.
The TL-S has only been out for 2 yrs.

 

u see so many tl's but very few tl-s'. 3 series i see plenty of, but not 35's, IS250/350 i see a couple of, but i think cbr04 can back me up when i see around like 3-4 tl's in 1 trip! lol

 

i barely see any in marietta/kennesaw. i remember each one ive seen

 

all over the place in alpharetta/roswell & duluth area.

 

there are a lot of base TL's in my area, but few type s'.

 

I see them all the time. There is someone that lives in my neighborhood that I see every morning. We go to work at the same time.

 

My boss has a 07 5AT and there is a 08 in my neighborhood so I typically see 2 Type-S's a day

 

good. My car is rare!! W00t!!

 

Very common here...my martial arts school has 4 on a regular basis. Truth is the average non-Acura owner can't tell the difference between a TL & a TLS.

 

In the Chicagoland suburbs...I've seen 2 over the last year. I recently traded in my 04 TL for an 08 Type S; love the TL's. Always looking at other cars (carefully of course), and there are a boat-load of TL's cause they're a great car. However, Type S's seem really rare in the area.

FYI---swapped my 04 TL at McGrath Acura in Westmont...
1) Got $20k for my 04 Non-Navi with 22,000 miles; they're trying to sell it (along with many other TL's) at $21,911

2) got my brand-spanking new 08 Type S for $35k with a 70k miles 0 deductible warranty thrown in...PLUS 2.9% financing for 5 years!!!

It was just a no-brainer to me; went in for an oil change on the old and 4 days later had the new car. Seems like Acura is willing to wheel-and-deal to unload inventory with the new models coming out soon.

 

lol

 

seen about 4-5 including myself in the bay area.

 

I live in Los Angeles and the base TL and IS250 are pretty common. The TL-S and IS350 are not as common, but for the price of a TL-S, I think people would rather get a RWD car and it would probably be an IS350 or 335i. And in that case, this makes the TL-S rare IMO.

 

They are like kleenex over in Indy....all over the place! I see several a week.

 

I'm sorry but there is no way that can get a IS350 with all the same options/features for teh price a TLS is.

 

i've seen random TL-S here and there on there on the freeway few on the 10 few on the 60... all commuter cars owned by older people though

 

i need to move to the 818.... chicks seem to be faster there

 

I NEVER see type S in my region.

 

yeah that's common. the Nissan store i'm at is giving great deals on 08 Maximas since the redesigned 09's are coming out in June.

 

I see one every day, in my garage.

Otherwise I admit they're not RARE but it's rare that I pass one on the road. Maybe on or two a month out here in the burbs.

 

I see many when i go to Toronto and many here in ottawa...i don't think i'd call our rides rare either

 

What is rare however (besides the Alex Zarnardi NSX) is the Legend 4-door GS with the 230HP motor, 6 speed manual and 2 piston front brakes. I've only ever seen a couple on the street.

 

I have NEVER seen the red type-s in my area. but i've seen every other color

 

I have one and I'm in the Sandy Springs area. Out of every 20 TL I see, one is a type S.
