The 2012 Acura TL’s Acura/ELS Surround Sound System found its way to the number 6 spot on Popular Mechanics Top 10 Cars for Audiophiles list.
“Acura’s excellent ELS audio system is available across the entire vehicle lineup (except on its flagship RL model, ironically, which still packs an underwhelming Bose setup). It sounded the best in the midrange TL luxury sedan. Designed by Grammy-winning sound engineer Elliot Scheiner, the 440-watt, 10-speaker surround-sound system aims to reproduce studio-quality sound, including the full 24-bit, 96-kHz audio found in DVD-A discs—the highest quality currently possible.” – Popular Mechanics

By looking at the link I believe that they counted down. The TL appears to be #4 on the list. The cars that beat it cost double its price.
