new Type S

So, does anyone think that Acura kind of half-assed the new Type S? I mean its not much higher HP than the stock TL and the styling is not much more extreme.

The A-Spec kit on that car is weak. They should've presented a "TYPE-S" specific body kit.

There is a specific type-s kit as the front and rears are different. I don't think that acura half-assed the type-s, but there could have been a few improvements. As for HP, acura can't push the FWD any more as its already pushed to the max with the type-s's 290 HP. The grille, ails and headlights were expected change as they do with all of the models. As for the interior, they did a really good job on it for the most part, they could have done better with the pedals in my opinion.

Yea to some people this might not prove that TL-S has better handling that IS350/G35, but at least it shows that it can at least keep up with those RWD sports sedans.

You want the Type-S, a front wheel drive car, to have more power?
