Any differences between the 2007 and 2008 TL Type S?
I just sold my 2008 Acura TL-S in auto and I am looking for a 6MT. I found a 2007 Type S and a 2008 Type S near me and i was just wondering if there is any differences between the two production years that would make one more desirable than the other.

The 2008 came with an "improved immobilizer system" and a separate TPMS warning lamp. The NAV system was upgraded to work in Hawaii, and the AcuraLink satellite capability was expanded from 38 markets to 76.

In the earlier 3G TLs the TPMS system reports a low tire exclusively via the Multi-Function Display, the separate warning lamp in the 2008 models is just another light on the dashboard which is separate and distinct from the MFD.

Same here, hence the question. Now if I could just keep air in the tires (winter), I would not have to listen to the constant ping, ping, ping of the MFD and tire icon!!
