The Bottom Line	The 2006 Acura TL is the measure of its class rivals in terms of features and value, but it's somewhat uninspiring in looks and performance.	The 2007 Acura TL Type-S has all the ingredients to combine techno luxury with performance driving for a very attractive sub-$40K luxury sports sedan. Its cabin gadgetry is nearly flawless, but the five-speed automatic mated to the drive-by-wire throttle detracts from the sports car experience.	The 2006 Acura TSX is a well-balanced, well-appointed car. Its four-cylinder engine is surprisingly stout, and cabin electronics are in line with Acura's high-tech focus, although the carmaker could do with outsourcing its audio systems.	The 2008 Acura TL Type-S is very fun to drive, but a number of small issues keep it from being a top performer. To stay on the cutting edge of tech, its cabin electronics need a makeover.	Our criticisms of the 2006 Acura RL are minor compared to all it has to offer. It's marketed as a high-tech car and delivers on all fronts, from live traffic on its navigation screen to cutting-edge driving technology.
