? about the new Acura TL's

The new Acura TL has 270 hp right? Is there a CL coming out, and an even scarier thought: is a type S coming out? Just wondering.

My dad has the new 2004 TL. There is no option for a TYPE S, its a standard TL, with 270 hp. The car is really nice and its pretty fast.

The `04 Acura TL is a real sweet car. It's very very quick, and has some pretty cool options. The navigation is real good, the trip-tronic shifting is sweet, there's almost no engine noise, and the projector HIDs and HID highbeams are very bright. My business partner just got one.

Like 99SE said, there are no plans for a Type-S model, there isn't a need for one

The autos are faster than most Maximas, and the 6-spds are even quicker.

Hey krazyd, I think you better look at what C MAX has got before you talk. With is supercharger and Nos why couldn't he beat that Acura TL.

The TL are really quick. I was reading in car and driver that these things go from 0 to 60 in about 5.3 Wish my max did that stock.

if $$ is not an issue for you, then definetly go for TL over 6th gen max. for atlernative, u mite wanna consider the G35s.

if $$ is an issue, then consider about the new 2005 altima 3.5SE/SL.

G35s are really nice cars they have great handeling acceration and all that stuff but the max is more like a quiet and powerefull family sedan, and is wayyy bigger than TL and G. And u cant beat the rear wheel drive of the G.

yes krazyd stock for stock that 270 would own my ***.
And thank you imxelite very well put. what i was just telling
you guys is just something humurous not nothing to bragg about
the 270 is stock. and what i said was i pulled about five car lenghts at
6lbs 4,000 rpms before i slowed down, when i could of said i went to
14lbs 7,200 rpms hit the nitrous fogger swich dialed in a 100 shot
and sucked the doors off his car before i disappeared. now would that have been fair? in my hood i'd get called a bully. And plus he asked for it.. he came to my house and called me out.....
it,
