Default 2007 Acura TL Type S

I know it's been covered in the TL/RL forums, but just seeing if anyone else has seen it. Overall, the car looks amazing; the engine is putting out around 286 HP with 256 lbs of torque.

Add that with sport-tuned suspension, Brembo brakes, a 6-speed available transmission, and new front and rear bumper styling (which looks like they just molded in the optional kit on the standard TLs), you got yourself a pretty mean car.

The only thing that's a little iffy to me are the wheels; they are pretty aggressive but it just reminds me too much of the SRT4 wheels. But still, it's to me!

Here are some pics for your viewing pleasure... don't drool like I did

Nice post. I would definitely love to throw that in my garage and replace my '98 Camry already (even though she still runs like a champ Toyota).

The wheels are definitely crap but whatever. Acura .

sister has the 06 tl. IMO i think the current a-spec TLs look better. and they should drop it at least 1.25'' out the factory

It would be cool if it had the SH-AWD because, at this point, I don't see why anyone would buy this over a Legacy GT...or a Mazdaspeed 6. It's a nice car and all, but it's seriously out-classed IMO.

Wheels, tails, headlights all ugly. I like the 04-06 TL better. I don't really get why they even offer an auto on the performance-oriented Type-S either.

286 HP with 256 lbs of torque???? Thats insane.... it would probably help me overlook the gayish American Racing style rims lol.
