I thought about the G37 Sedan but I live in Boston so I'd need the 4 wheel drive option which may price it out of my range. I think I might ask my Acura dealer for an overnight test drive as recommended in one of the posting. I've had 4 Acuras but all purchased from different dealers. The V6 TSX might be interesting but maybe too powerful. I post my update if I can snag an overnight test drive.

#1836 of 1948 V6 TSX by greenacura Apr 13, 2009 (9:49 am)
See post 1832. I have also read that Acura is coming out with a V6 TSX. Dealer confirmed it when I was trying to get my ovenight test drive. Has anyone been successful in getting an overnight test drive? 2 dealers said no. Maybe I'll try in person this weekend....

Replying to: greenacura (Apr 13, 2009 9:49 am) oh, i did miss that. Thanks.   Wonder why they would do that. I mean, the TL now gets SH-AWD, pretty much making the RL useless, and then they give the TSX a V6. What's the point? The sizes really don't differ all that much. Although, I suppose neither do the 3-series and 5-series. Replies to this message: igozoomzoom (Apr 13, 2009 4:31 pm) qbrozen (Apr 14, 2009 5:53 am)

Replying to: qbrozen (Apr 13, 2009 12:47 pm) The TSX will be getting a 3.5L V6 with 280hp. I presume it's the same engine found in the standard TL. The TL SH-AWD has a 3.7L 305hp, which is the same unit found in the RL. Hopefully, the base model TSX will still have the 201hp 2.4L 4-cylinder.   The TSX V6 and the base TL seem redundant....and the TL SH-AWD and RL are also redundant. I'd just dump the hideous TL and drop the RL price a bit! The TSX and RL are gorgeous in comparison to the TL, IMO.   I was expecting the 240hp 2.3L Turbo I-4 from the RDX to show up in the TSX instead of the V6. Perhaps it will replace the non-turbo I-4 eventually???   The technology and powertrains are near-perfect, just what you'd expect from Honda. But stylistically, Acura has really lost its way....

Replying to: greenacura (Apr 13, 2009 5:15 am) Have you thought about the 2009 Mazda6? It's not a "premium" brand but in the higher trim levels, it looks and drives like one! The mid-level Touring and high-end Grand Touring trim are available on the 4-cylinder (i) and V6 (s) models. You can get cool features like Xenon headlamps, LED tail lights, Blind Spot Monitoring System, rain-sensing wipes, Bluetooth connectivity and Bose Audio system. The Touring models interior is part-leather/part-premium cloth, which is a nice option for those of us who aren't huge fans of leather.   Just a thought.

Replying to: igozoomzoom (Apr 13, 2009 4:31 pm) I was expecting the 240hp 2.3L Turbo I-4 from the RDX to show up in the TSX instead of the V6.   So was I. Would have brought the tuners back to Acura, that's for sure.
