The Straight Pipes boys are at it again, this time getting their hands on the refreshed 2024 Acura TLX Type S. And let me tell you, this car means business. With a turbocharged V6 engine pumping out a whopping 355 horsepower and 354 lb-ft of torque, it's clear that Acura is not messing around. The team couldn't resist putting it in "S" for subscribe and letting it rip. And boy, does it deliver. The automatic transmission is lightning quick, and the way it shifts is just oh-so-satisfying. It's a joy to drive, whether you're cruising along or pushing it to its limits.

But it's not just about power. Acura has also given the TLX Type S some serious handling chops. With its super handling all-wheel drive system, it's a corner-carving machine. The back end wants to step out, and it's an absolute blast to drive. And the best part? It's comfortable too. Acura has struck the perfect balance between performance and everyday usability. It's a car that you can enjoy on your daily commute, but also have some fun with on the weekends.

Visually, the TLX Type S has received some updates as well. The front bumper and grill have been refreshed, giving it a more aggressive look. And let's not forget those wheels. While the team didn't have the new ones, they were more than happy with the ones they had. And speaking of looks, the TLX Type S is available in some eye-catching colors, like yellow and red. It's a car that demands attention wherever it goes.

Inside the cabin, Acura has made some improvements too. The ambient lighting has been upgraded, and there are now more options to choose from. The infotainment system has also been updated, with a larger screen and support for Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. However, the team wasn't too impressed with it, and they're not alone. It seems like Acura still has some work to do in that department.

All in all, the 2024 Acura TLX Type S is a car that delivers on all fronts. It's powerful, it handles like a dream, and it looks the part. And with a price tag of $64,800, it's a great value compared to its competitors. So if you're in the market for a sedan that can do it all, the TLX Type S should definitely be on your list.
