One thing to remember there is NO Factory options other than the NAV on the Acura CL/TL....

I hope the options you are refering to are found stock on the Type-S!!!

I hate pay $5k more on Factory Performance Options!

Well, Acura dealerships already received their options list for the 2004 TL, one dealer was kind enough to post it awhile back, and I can tell you that 18" rims were on the list ..

Also if you watch the videos from the Acura press release, along with "Convinced "i-Vtec" is traded on the NASDAQ", there was one that said something about ... "Thinks "clutch" is a small-hangbag" ... So its very well possible that the 2004 TL will come with an optional 6-speed (dont know about the possibility of SMG though).

let's hope I think the base price of the TL will be 34-35.

I really want to see a TRUE 5 series competitor!!!!!! Keep the germans on their toes. Once the TL is set then Acura can move onto the 330 and offer decent competition via a new coupe
