Questions about the new noise cancellation technology

Did anyone get a 2007 with the Noise Cancellation technology?

Is it only on the Type S or is it available or included with the standard TL?

Is it something you can turn on or off? If so how?

How well does it work - specs aside - anyone actually try it?

We have it in the Odyssey minivan. It can be disable by cutting a wire. I tried it out... It's subtle at best... I hardly noticed any difference.
I think it's more "flash" than anyhting.

I test drove a 2006 RL, which has the active noise cancellation. Based on the description from Acura's web site, I was expecting a miraculously quiet cabin. However, it was anything but miraculous. I could still hear a lot of road and engine noise. The effect is subtle at best. Seems to be more of a gimmick to me than anything else.
