The last time we saw "Type S" badged on an Acura, it was over 12 years ago, but those of us who were there remember that "Type S" wasn't just an appearance package. Those cars got their own engines, suspension setups, and interiors, too. Now, the Type S is back, this time on the TLX Sport Sedan. It's got a unique, 350HP twin-scroll turbo V6 mated to a close-ratio 10-speed automatic and Acura's trademark "Super-Handling" all-wheel drive. In order to celebrate their new sedan's sporting credentials, they turned me loose on Laguna Seca to see how the TLX Type S handles basic track work.

Acura provided transportation, lodging, meals, a personal vehicle, and a race track for this review.
