SATELLITE-LINKED

NAVIGATION SYSTEM

Using the advanced

touchscreen display,

you can pinpoint your

location or find a

destination with ease.

From the acceleration of its

22S-horsepower, racing-inspired

engine to its compelling sense

of style, the all-new Acura TL

represents a new benchmark,

challenging the very best luxury

performance automobiles from

around the world.

VTEC TECHNOLOGY. The

all-aluminum, 24-vaJve, V-6

powerplant that propels the new

TL uses the same VTEC engine

technology (first pioneered on

the Acura NSX exotic sports

car) to deliver both prodigious

low-end torque and exhilarating

high-rpm thrust.

ADVANCED SYSTEMS . An all-t

new and highly sophisticated

multilink, double-wishbone rear

sus pension contributes to fantastic

handling precision, while 4-wheel

disc brakes with an Anti-Lock

Braking System help ensure stable

stopping control.

A FOCUS ON COMFORT. Such

amenities as fine leather-trimmed

seats and an Acura/Bose Music

System make driving in the TL

almost an indulgence.

DRIVE IN A CABIN OF

EXTRAORDINARY LUXURY.

From the elegant, leather-wrapped steering

wheel and shift knob to the rich wood-grained

trim, the Tl ;s an island of remarkable comfort.
