The new 2008 Acura TL is a four-door luxury
sport sedan with incomparable finesse
available only one trim level. Powered by a
3.2-liter V6 engine, TL offers exhilarating
performance and smooth ride. Proving that a
sedan like the new 2008 Acura TL can be
exciting, calming and composed at the same
time.
Assembled entirely in the U.S., the TL
combines a sturdy chassis, a remarkable engine, precise
handling, and a class-leading standard of comfort and
refinement. With just one available option -- the
state-of-the-art Acura Satellite-Linked Navigation System -- the
TL handles the details, as usual. The driver can get right down
to the more immediate pleasures of owning a touring sedan, like
taking the scenic route with all of Acura's confidence-inspiring
performance expertise at the ready.
There's even a story behind the sleek
silhouette of the TL. Beneath the sloping, aerodynamic hood, the
transverse engine mounting of the TL takes up less space than
other methods, resulting in an interior that's roomier than the
Mercedes-Benz C-Class and the BMW 3-Series.

engineering never rests on past accomplishments. It can't,
because the innovative and perfectionist culture of the
Acura division is always pushing the boundaries of technology.
It stays on the cutting edge because it sharpens that
edge itself. Acura was the first Japanese premium nameplate
in the U.S. It was the first to create an all-aluminum
production car, the Acura NSX. It was the first to introduce
an in-dash satellite-linked navigation system, in the
3.5 Acura RL. And Acura is
also the first luxury import brand to design and assemble
cars in the U.S., starting with the Acura
CL and Acura TL models.
Acura has also brought to market an SUV in the Acura
MDX, that is inspired by Acura's luxurious history
and endless pursuit of perfection evidenced even in the
Acura Integra model.
Some
key engineering highlights for Acura
Vehicles include: development of the VTEC™
(Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control)
system, the first-ever variable valve timing system
for cars; an advanced double-wishbone upper and lower
control arm suspension system; drive-by-wire throttle;
and the development of advanced safety systems like
a dual-stage front passenger's air bag, a height- and
position-sensing side impact air bag for the front passenger,
and the Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) system. All this
is evident in the engineering aspect of the Acura
Type-S vehivle. Acura engineering has set benchmarks
for other marques, for nearly as long as there have
been Acura cars.
