Acura, the
TL offers performance, style, and comfort for less money than you might expect. Its powerful 3.2-liter V6 engine, nicely balanced suspension, rigid structure, and classy good looks make the TL a serious contender in both the near-luxury and compact sport-sedan categories.
TL was completely redesigned and re-engineered for 1999. For 2000, Acura replaced the original four-speed automatic transmission with a wonderful five-speed sequential Sportshift. Advanced side-impact airbags were added, while revisions to the engine increased mid-range acceleration and reduced emissions. So the TL enters 2001 mostly unchanged, beyond new carpeted floor mats and an emergency inside trunk release. next page
