Still speculation but sounds valid? http://www.boston.com/cars/news/articles/2006/08/05/type_s_as_in_sinister/

From Autoblog: The Boston Globe spilled the beans! For MY 2007, Acura has added a Type S model to the TL range. Those who opt for the package are rewarded with a 3.5L V6 churning out 286 horses and 256 lb.-ft. of torque, 28 hp and 23 lb.-ft. better than the base TL's 3.2L mill. Subtle detail changes differentiate the Type -S from the standard car. A mesh grille, wheel/tire upgrade, rear spoiler, quad exhaust outlets and, of course, Type S badging identify it as such. Inside, the Type S gets sportier seating, carbon fiber trim, and racy steel pedals. A sport-tuned suspension is in place to give the car improved handling to go with its added punch. Expect a retail price of around $39,000. We're guessing that an official announcement will likely come this week, now that a major media outlet has broken the story. We'll have photos and complete specs as soon as Honda makes them available to us. Thanks to reader Raghu fir the tip! link title Holy smoke, TL-S at $39,000!!! I'd understand if TL-S comes with SH-AWD. However, a $40K FWD car is just ridiculous, and this is coming from an Acura loyalist. |

Replying to: pg48477 (Aug 06, 2006 3:50 pm) I can see the regular TL is build for 40 year old man with 100k income but definitely not the TL-S. Just look at the things Acura added to it: Carbon Fiber interior (I don't understand why they use CF instead of aluminum) "Fast and Furious" rims Looks to me the intended target for the TL-S are 20-30 year-old man with around $90K income. I know there are some of those out there but the problem is how many of them are going to buy a FWD car at around $40K. Just like pg48477 said, I'll take a base 335i for that price. What is Acura thinking. Maybe the loaded Type-S is at $39K and the base version (w/o navi) is at $37K. I think even with that it's way too much. |

I'm not saying it's a good thing, just stating an interesting fact. Motor Trend states the Maximum price range topping out at $38k.

Replying to: louiswei (Aug 07, 2006 4:09 am) Haha, good luck finding a 335i (it's actually a 330i in sedan form) with no options added on. It is an EXTREMELY rare occurace to find a 335i on a lot for $40k or less. Shoot, even paint (if you dont want black or red) is optional over there. |
