Go test drive the Type-S then a TSX. You'll likely find the TSX to be somewhat of a joke. I mean, there's no comparison whatsoever...other than both cars are made by Acura.

If you need a car soon, the '09 TL is out of the question.

As for the AWD, sure, cars with that set-up are more fun to drive, but, once again, you said you needed one soon. The '09 likely won't be released until Sept or Oct.
