Well, keep in mind the V6 TSX is mid $30s. A wagon will cost a grand more. Add another $2 grand for SH-AWD. That's $38 grand or so for a V6 AWD.
 
I do think it looks GREAT, though. Absolutely puts the ZD-X to shame.

That price sounds fine to me; my 2005 3.0R VDC listed at $35.5k. At the time I downgraded from a nearly $40k 2002 Passat W8. The Acura label should be able to carry that price with AWD. Total cost to own with depreciation might be significantly lower than for an Outback 3.6R Limited.
 
Since it is a wagon not an ersatz SUV it has another advantage. Too bad Subaru quit making the Legacy wagon. I wonder what a lowering kit for the Forester would be like?

Yeah, the Legacy wagon was always cheaper, by at least a grand or so, than the Outback.
 
When we saw those euro Legacy wagon prices it was the same way, about 10% less.

I think the higher-end model, the TL, costs as much as $38K for a 3.7L V6 with SH-AWD. So if they are coming out with a TSX wagon with SH-AWD, I bet it will be priced in the $34-35K ball-park (roughly about $3-4K less than the equivalent TL). And at that price it will sell really well.
 
And since the TSX is effectively the Euro-Accord, the handling should be a lot sharper than its larger brother, the TL, which has been Americanized a lot by being plus-sized. I hate needless plus-sizing.

At that price it should be a bargain in comparison to the 3.6R Outback Limited: A real wagon, lower total cost to own and NOT oversized. Not to mention a possibly larger dealer network. Perhaps it will even have folding mirrors.

$39,465 after you include freight.
 
I didn't realize you could get SH-AWD without stepping up to the Type S, though, so that is less than I thought.
 
A TSX V6 AWD would probably be $35k or so, but I still think a wagon version would break $36k.
 
Still a good value given Acura's high levels of equipment even on base models.
 
I don't think it'll do a lot of volume, though. The RD-X will sell more, and the ZD-X will get all the attention. I say this even though I'd prefer the TSX myself.

Look at the Tribeca sales from the past months and tell what you think is the most likely :
 
Oct 2009: 246
Sep 2009: 358
Aug 2009: 797
Jul 2009: 707
Jun 2009: 784
May 2009: 671
Apr 2009: 567
 
Note that improvements for 2010 model are very minor, unlikely those low recent sales numbers are because of coming model. However it might be from the expectation of more discounts for 2009 model when 2010 is on the lots.

so it WILL have AWD! by nippononly

The Toyota-Subaru coupe WILL be sold as a Subaru, with standard AWD, and 50 more hp than the Toyota model!
 
Interestingly, they apparently think they can get 250 hp out of the Japanese 2.0 without turbocharging it - that will be quite a feat.

250 hp from 2.0 non-turbo? From Subaru? Doesn't sound very credible.
