Official: A-Spec will be out this month

At SEMA Acura is going to display a TL with A-spec, and they have announced that it will be out this month. Unfortuneatly, it will set you back $5000!

"The new 2004 TL has a high performance engine and chassis with styling to match," said Roach. "The A-SPEC kit takes this aggressive styling and sporty handling a step further, leaving no doubt that the new TL is an extremely stylish, performance-oriented car."

This says Honda is showing a TSX A-spec there too!
"In addition to the A-SPEC equipped TL, Acura division displayed a TSX A-SPEC Concept with modifications and accessories designed by Honda Access America, the accessory division of Honda, to showcase the car's high performance personality. The concept is equipped with numerous prototype components including, shocks and springs, Brembo front brakes and a deck lid spoiler. It boasts interior modifications including Recaro front seats and a Momo sport steering wheel."

Can anyone who lives in Vegas head down there and take some pics?

The brakes on the TSX are awesome!

The TL is the same one we've all seen from the ride and drives!

Where is that steering wheel?

$5k is too much to pay for all that stuff.

Try this one:

http://www.hondanews.com/forms/even....html?kw=03sema

This brings you to a main menu of SEMA acura/honda cars, then select the first link for the TL A-Spec, try the others as well.

Wow, $5k not installed, hope you got your loans ready for that package, and yes, the wheels are 18"x8.5" for those who wondered! Too bad the car looks like the regular aero kit!

Notice the rear badge (yet no photo of the steering wheel)






Also see this link for full sized photos:

Too bad the photos are choped with the A-Spec badge on the back and doesn't even have the right tires (has Dunlop SP9000, not the Yoko AVS ES100).

Also notice the missing red brake pads that were shown on the A-spec car in SF at the managers meeting (plus it does not look lowered).

Acura marketing at its best!
