2007 Acura TL Type-S Official Photos
Thursday, August 10th, 2006
Appearance-wise, the Type-S has adopted the former TL A-Spec’s bodywork. The lower side skirts, the fender bulges, and the decklid spoiler that all first appeared on that package are now part of the Type-S trimmings. All TL models receive revised front fascias featuring integrated foglamps, new head and taillight assemblies, and an updated interior.
The 2007 Acura TL Type-S also gets a slightly different rear-end treatment that incorporates a new bumper cover and a pair of dual-tipped exhaust outlets (very BMW “M” if you ask us). Both the TL and TL Type-S get new wheels, too, with the Type-S rims reminding us of the ones found on the Nissan Altima SE-R. Frankly, we’re a bit surprised they didn’t go with a more original design. No complaints about the base TL’s new 5-spokes, which look great.
The interior incorporates new gauges, a new steering wheel, and colored ambient lighting (blue for TL, red for Type-S). The available nav system has a real-time traffic feature and also acts as the display for the car’s reverse camera. The now-expected-by-everyone iPod jack is hidden in the center console.
The Acura TL was and remains a sharp-looking car that’s been made even more attractive thanks to the availability of the performance-oriented Type S package. Aside from the additional fun now available via the loud pedal, Acura wisely left well enough alone. We’re ok with that. Now, how soon can we drive one?

I Don’t like the rims. They look like the Nissan Altima SE-R version. I think it cheapens the look and gives it an aftermarket effect. I guess I would have to see them in person, but my initial response is ughhh.

I agree with you on the rim thing, they look nasty. I am still on the market for a TL. Does anyone have any idea of the price/availability of the 2007 line in general, not just the S-Type?

I like the overall look, inside and out. I had a 2003 Type-S and it rocked! I saw a post a few days ago saying the pricing would be $37/$39 (w & w/o Nav). Called a sales mgr yesterday and he said mid-Oct for availablility. We’ll see. I’ll definitely be checkin one out tho.

We just bought the 2007 TL Type S…. we also have a 2006 Acura TL Aspec and a 2005 TL Aspec….
There isn’t much of a difference between the 2007 and the other models. The wheels ARE a lot nicer than they look in the picture here, though I still prefer the rims on the later models. The brake lights are slightly different on this model, as well as side view mirrors ( they have the turn signals on them)—this tends to make the car look a little LESS aggressive than it has in the past. All in all though, its the same as the past models–and its around the same price!

I will have to disagree with Marisa, there are a lot of changes for the 2007 TL. Changes in wheel design, front and rear bumpers, front grille, mirrors, mp3 player, integrated key in remote, instruments, new nav features, suspension, etc. Too many to mention. Compare carefully 2006 vs 2007 before you make up your mind.
