The best-selling car at Honda's upscale Acura division enters 2006 little-changed. The TL is based on the Honda Accord platform, but has different styling, powertrains, and more upscale features. The only engine is a 258-hp V6 with a choice of a 6-speed manual or a 5-speed automatic transmission with manual shift gate. TLs with manual transmission include a firmer suspension, Brembo-brand front brakes, and limited-slip differential. They're also available with performance tires instead of all-season treads. Every TL comes with 17-inch wheels, ABS, front side airbags, and curtain side airbags. Also standard are leather upholstery with heated front seats, aluminum interior trim, sunroof, and an in-dash CD changer that plays DVD Audio discs. TL also comes with Acura's HandsFreeLink, which employs the audio system as a hands-free, wireless link to cell phones. A navigation system with voice command is optional.
