Acura Announces Pricing for 2000 3.2TL and Integra

20 September 1999

Acura Announces Pricing for 2000 3.2TL and Integra
    TORRANCE, Calif., Sept. 20 -- Acura announced today the 2000
model year prices for two of its most popular models, the 3.2TL performance
luxury sedan and the Integra series of Sports Coupes and Sports Sedans.
    The MSRP for the 2000 3.2TL is $28,400, a $450 (1.6%) increase versus last
year due to  significant additions and enhancements in the areas of safety,
performance and technology.
    The 2000 TL adds an advanced side air bag system which incorporates seven
sensors in the passenger seatback to determine the size and position of the
occupant and assists the system in determining if it is safe to deploy the
side air bag.  This Acura exclusive side air bag system was engineered to
reduce the potential for injuries to a small child from the deployment of the
side air bag itself.
    The 2000 TL also adds an all-new, 5-speed SportShift automatic
transmission in place of last year's 4-speed, a new induction system design
and several engine modifications that provide improved mid-range power,
quicker acceleration, better fuel economy and lower vehicle emissions (LEV-49
state; ULEV-California).
    In addition, the optional TL in-dash Acura Navigation System now features
a new Digital Video Disc (DVD) mapping database, providing coverage of the
continental United States on one DVD disc.
    These continued refinements to the 3.2TL will reinforce its position as
one of the fastest selling vehicles in Acura's 14 year history.
    The popular Integra series returns for the 2000 model year, offering
race-inspired innovations, sporty, free-revving engine response, crisp precise
handling and an ergonomic driving environment.  For 2000, the Acura Integra
Sports Sedan and Sports Coupe models -- LS, GS, GS-R -- increase a modest $100
(about 0.05%) in the MSRP from the year before.  In addition, the racing-tuned
Integra Type R sports coupe returns for 2000 in limited numbers for serious
driving enthusiasts (Type R pricing to be announced at a later date).
    For 2000, the Integra now features a standard vehicle immobilizer
anti-theft system, 100,000 mile tune-up intervals, reduced emissions to meet
strict Transitional Low Emission Vehicle (TLEV) emission standards and an
on-board Vapor Recovery System, one year earlier than required by law.
    The 2000 model year 3.2TL and Integra, on sale now at authorized Acura
retailers, are covered by a comprehensive 4-year/50,000-mile bumper-to-bumper
limited warranty.  Additional ownership benefits include Acura Total Luxury
Care (TLC), which provides free 24-hour roadside assistance, concierge service
and trip routing.  For the latest product and company information, visit the
