Reviews SummaryFor its final year of the current generation, the 2008 Acura TL returns with even more power and some touchups to its hot exterior. It remains one of the best values among luxury sedans, and the Type-S model turns up the heat. | |
Reviews SummaryThe CTS has been around since 2003, but it has gotten a major facelift and brand-new interior for 2008. Although it’s close in size to other midsize luxury sedans, the CTS is priced like a smaller car. This year, a new 3.6-liter V6 with direct injection and 304 horsepower is available. A carryover version of the same engine is also available but features a lower output of 264 hp. The CTS is also available with all-wheel drive (AWD) for the first time this year. | |
