#215 of 364 2009 Acura TSX Specs by garv214 Feb 14, 2008 (2:02 pm)
I may be a bit late to the party, but I found this article on the TSX   http://www.leftlanenews.com/acura-tsx-future.html

My current 06 TSX was a step up compared to my Accord. I'm not feeling the new styling, power, and features of the 09 TSX. I was really looking forward to a more aggressive design and bigger boost in HP/TQ.   I will need a 2nd car in the garage next to the 06 TSX in the next 12-18 months. I have to wait for the all new TL and hope this car will not disappoint also.   TSX: under powered engines (I-4 and the soon 2.2 L turbo diesels) TL:??? RDX: poor fuel Eco on Turbo, needs a V-6 option RL: underpowered V-6, needs a V-8 option MDX: underpowered V-6, needs a V-8 or V-6 turbo diesel w CVT or 7AT   I drive a 06 TSX 5AT between 5000-8000 feet above sea level, a V-6 and/or turbo would get me closer to my sea level TSX brothers/sisters in HP/TQ.
#217 of 364 Missed Opportunity by carguy622 Feb 28, 2008 (4:35 am)
Let me just start out by saying that I own a 2006 TSX with a 6-Speed manual, and what are my thoughts about the new Acura TSX? MISSED OPPORTUNITY. I don't like the look of it in photos, but I'll reserve my judgement on that until I see it in person. The biggest problem is the basically carry over engine. Granted it has more torque but it lost horsepower. Most people only pay attention to the horsepower number, and 201 is on the low side for a car trying to compete in this class. Driving my 205 hp TSX I find the power to be more than adequate, but I'm driving a stick and can wring it out more with the additional gear and less weight. I love the TSX, the engine are transmission are a great team and it's a shame that many people water it down by getting an automatic. The soon to be released diesel engine option is a non starter. Most people will shy away from it due to ignorance and myth. Anyway that's my 2 cents.

#219 of 364 2009 TSX Pics by aviboy97 Mar 19, 2008 (10:17 am)
Did Acura steal a page out of Saturns design book? What is with that shield in the front! Totally Saturn!! Way to go Acura, another fugly design!!   link title   Also, waaaaay to many buttons on the interior. Too many on the steering wheel. Not so bad in the center console, but, still. Looks like Honda did not learn their lesson with the complaints about the "busy" button stack in the Accord.

#220 of 364 press debut by rv65 Mar 19, 2008 (12:30 pm)
Car debuted at the 09 NYIAS. No plans for SH-AWD. Unless a new smaller fuel tank is installed. A larger more powerful engine will be installed. No Turbo this time.
#221 of 364 A tragedy... by dairyshick Mar 20, 2008 (12:37 am)
What is Honda doing?? First, they screw up the Accord, and now this cheesy attempt at a TSX. (the one revealed at the NY auto show) I've been a Honda believer and owner for a while, but the only Honda-brand cars I would actually even consider now are the current generation TSX and TL...unfortunately, it looks like at least one of them is being replaced by a pretty poor attempt at a re-design.   If there's one good thing about these photos, it's that the interior looks better put together than the new Accord's clunky heap of buttons.
#222 of 364 A new and ugly TSX by carmaster1 Mar 20, 2008 (1:02 pm)
This new TSX is simply ugly. It appears to be a blend of Toyota Camry, and Saturn whatever. I have been debating whether I should wait for the new redesigned TSX or buy the currnet one. I guess my choice is now clear as I am ready to make an offer on a 2008 TSX. Replies to this message: kagedude (Mar 20, 2008 6:41 pm) aviboy97 (Mar 20, 2008 6:51 pm)
#223 of 364 Re: A new and ugly TSX [carmaster1] by kagedude Mar 20, 2008 (6:41 pm)
Replying to: carmaster1 (Mar 20, 2008 1:02 pm) I totally agree. This whole time I thought that thumbnail pic was of a Saturn model. When I clicked on it, it was the 09 Acura TSX! Who designs Honda's cars nowadays? Are they ex-GM designers?   As a previous 2004 Acura TSX owner, I've always thought that the original model (japanese/european version) with the original alloys were the best one.

Replying to: kagedude (Mar 20, 2008 6:41 pm) I have to agree. The 1st gen TSX is a really sharp car. I do like the design, and they were also very popular, even with sales figures around 30,000/year. They are tough to find on dealer lots. I see a lot of design similarities between the 1st TSX and my Mazda6.   Anyways, the new TSX looks like garbage. I really think they ruined it. If Acura is really trying to "advance" (hehehe) in the entry lux segment, they took a serious step backwards instead. Audi A4, BMW 3-series, Infiniti G35, Caddy CTS are all far superior.
