Yep, for a FWD car, it is probably the pinnacle of FWD development.
The description also about perfectly matches the G35, which has RWD.

Subject: [Shotimes] Nice SHO Replacement?
This car would seem to have many of the attributes that attracted folks to
the SHO (good hp in a sport sedan with manual transmission) and of course
Acura has a pretty good reliability record. I have several friends that
have TLs and really like them. Just saw this and thought it was interesting:

The 2007 Acura TL enters the midsized luxury market with revised exterior
and interior styling, an improved nav system and the re-introduction of the
Type-S performance model.
The Type-S features 286 horsepower (256 lb ft) from a new 3.5-liter V6, and
includes a re-tuned suspension and S specific exterior styling and interior
trim.

The Type-S returns to the lineup after a three year hiatus. The engine is
mated to a new 5-speed automatic with paddle shifters, or a close-ratio
6-speed manual transmission. The regular TL comes with a 3.2-liter VTEC V6
producing 258 hp at 6200 rpm and 233 lb-ft of torque at 5000 rpm. Both the
3.2-liter and the 3.5-liter meet CARB LEV-II ULEV emissions requirements.
Both the TL and TL Type-S have double wishbone front and multi-link rear
suspension. The Type-S has firmer front and rear anti roll bars and stiffer
springs and shocks.

The TL's exterior features numerous subtle upgrades for 2007 including a new
front fascia with a larger grille, redesigned bumper, new headlights and fog
lights relocated to the lower bumper.
Changes to the interior include a new 3-spoke steering wheel, new gauges
with a spun metal look, and model-specific ambient lighting that is blue on
the TL and red for the Type-S.
Both TL and TL Type-S offer Acura/ELS Surround premium sound system, Acura
satellite-linked navigation that now ha real-time traffic.
