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.

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.

best color combo by iwantone

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.

Can anyone give me some opinions regarding the best interior/exterior for the 2009 acura tsx? Which color seems to be the most popular and why?

I think the black looks great, and so far the only colors I have seen on the car in person. I have seen the navy blue color, looks okay, a bit too casual for me, but I have never been a big fan of navy blue on a car. I would think the pearl white, red, gray, and the overly popular silver color probably look really nice. The black had tan leather interior, looked very sharp, the leather was a rich creamy tan. Higher upkeep, but the black/black looks very sleek. I could totally see the car in red with black interior! That would be hot! So, lol, not sure on what you would pick, but if you pick a color, go all out in this car, because it deserves a bold color to keep up with its outgoing exterior. Picking silver is okay, but safe, and typical.

I'm partial to the Polish Metal/Taupe combo myself. Black always looks good when it's clean. But I've had a black car once, but never again. I'm too old to be a slave to it to keep it clean!

Thanks I like that polished metal too. Didn't think about the taupe interior though. I keep thinking about light gray on the Accord and I not a fan of that. Could you describe the taupe for me? I was considering the black interior. All I know is, I don't want the new Accord. It's a nice car, but I am from a small town everyone and their uncle has one. Besides coming from an Accord I want and deserve a change I love the Honda brand and I just want an upgrade.

I think the taupe is sort of like a sandy, beige color, but my description may not be 100% accurate. I also don't like the black interior. Just too gloomy looking, and I think a lighter color interior makes the car look more upscale.

I like the light interior too, but I am just scared about keeping it clean. I can see myself marking my interior with an ink pen while writing something or my teenager's blue jeans staining the seats. Any suggestions on protecting those light seats?
