Acura TL is available as two models: TL and TL Type-S.TL ($28,980) comes fully loaded, and retails for less than many of the other cars in its class. TL offers a strong value. It's powered by a 3.2-liter single overhead-cam V6 rated at 225 horsepower and mated to a five-speed automatic transmission with Sportshift, a semi-manual mode that lets the driver manually select gears. TL Type-S ($31,330) boasts a 260-horsepower version of the same engine. Type-S comes with an increased steering ratio and a firmer suspension. It also comes with Acura's Vehicle Stability Assist, an electronic stability program that uses anti-lock braking and traction control to keep the car from sliding. Acura's DVD navigation system, or NAVI, is optional ($2150) and includes OnStar.
