Vehicle Highlights
This newcomer to Honda's upscale Acura division targets the Audi A4, Infiniti G35, and other sporty near-luxury sedans. In size and price, the TL fits between Acura's smaller RSX coupe and its larger TL sedan. The only engine is 200-hp 2.4-liter 4 cyl. Transmissions are a 6-speed manual or optional 5-speed automatic with manual shift gate. Antilock 4-wheel disc brakes, antiskid/traction control, and 17-inch alloy wheels are standard. So are head-protecting curtain side airbags, front torso side airbags, leather upholstery, sunroof, automatic climate control, tilt/telescope steering wheel, in-dash CD changer, and xenon headlamps. There are no options, though a second model adds a navigation system with voice recognition for some navigation, audio, and climate functions.
