Replying to: drtravel (Oct 24, 2008 8:22 am) A V6 TSX with SH-AWD for 2010 would be golden. Considering that the TL's increased size and controversial styling could reduce TL sales, I could see an upgraded TSX being Acura's top seller.

I'd save the $4000 and get a Subaru Legacy instead. Replies to this message: jpdisarro (Oct 24, 2008 6:41 pm) rv65 (Oct 26, 2008 11:10 pm) fedlawman (Oct 27, 2008 9:09 am)

Replying to: drtravel (Oct 24, 2008 8:22 am) I just don't see a V6 diesel in a TSX. The bigger diesels were meant for the bigger cars and SUV - not the TSX.   This also means that the I4 diesel is also delayed/dead for the USDM Accord.

Replying to: fedlawman (Oct 24, 2008 1:16 pm) A V6 TSX with SH-AWD would be what the new TL should have been. A comparably equipped Legacy GT would only be a few thousand less than a TSX, which is not unreasonable given that Acuras have a nicer interior and slightly better image than Subarus.

Replying to: jpdisarro (Oct 24, 2008 6:41 pm) I don't think it will have SH-AWD. It might have it. I think they will use a 3.5L v6. The J35 has so variations that they can easily set the power level and be good to go. It's already engineered so it's already in their parts bin. The SH-AWD TSX with a v6 would be quite competitive. Maybe the v6 will have 260 to 270 HP. Replies to this message: fedlawman (Oct 27, 2008 9:09 am)

#156 of 364 Diesel Rumor by milwcheapguy Nov 11, 2008 (8:45 am)
Before everyone gets their undies in a bunch about Acura dropping the diesel... the source of the rumor is an anonymous poster in the MotorTrend Forums. Also, technically, it is easier to get an automatic tranny to pass emissions than a manual because of the computer control vs. human factor. And finally, if you do a search on Acura's site, you will see that they still have it on there as coming out in 2009.   Honda has invested far too much to fail bringing it to market - and the Euro emission standards for 2011(?) are tougher than California's and Diesels make up 50% of Honda's European sales.   So please remember the source or the rumor - an anonymous poster... that would be like me coming onto the boards and saying that Honda will no longer have gasoline engines in cars produced after 2009 and will have an all electric/hydrogen fleet.... Neither rumor has much credibility. Replies to this message: biker4 (Nov 14, 2008 9:29 am)

Replying to: milwcheapguy (Nov 11, 2008 8:45 am) But after the emmission reason rumor came out there was a bit more believable reason - they haven't been able to get the costs of the engine down enough.   The intro of the diesel is no small thing - once used, the support must be there for decades to come. If the diesel doesn't work out after a couple of years Honda will be stuck with support costs for years to come - even if they never sell it again.
#159 of 364 best color combo by iwantone Nov 29, 2008 (3:38 pm)
Which interior color looks the best with the glacier blue metallic? The taupe or the ebony? Actually how does the taupe interior look? On some pics the taupe interior looks like a light colored gray, but I always thought that taupe was in the beige family. I figure that the ebony would be easier to maintain.
