#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.

Saw the TSX at the NYIAS today.   Frankly it was under whelming. A bit bland both inside and out. My brother made note of the cheap looking plastic used around the dash. I'll drive it when it comes out next month. But unless the drive blows me away (and the new gearing significantly improves acceleration), I may wait until the TL debuts (The rep at the show had no specific information on the TL - just that it was coming this fall) or look elsewhere - perhaps the new Mercedes C-Class or the G35.   I am curious what others thought who saw it at the show.   By the way, we also looked at the Accord. Styling preferences aside, For 22K it's an impressive car.

I'm Otisnj's bro. In fairness, I drive an '07 bimmer 328i (and the crappy S-10 Chevy pickup that took us to the show- a "beater" is a wonderful thing to have to drive in NYC!). The Germans have almost always come up with interior designs (materials and layout) that are better than anyone else. That said, I was surprised by the rather cheesy look of the TSX's interior. For a couple of dollars more per car...   To Otisnj: don't forget Bavarian Motor Works. And test drives are free.

Replying to: aviboy97 (Mar 19, 2008 10:17 am) Since the TSX was influenced by the Sports 4 concept and this car debuted back in 2006? I'd have to say that Saturn copied Acura's design. Anyway, except for ONE element, (the shield) they don't look alike at all.

Replying to: satoauto (Mar 22, 2008 8:40 pm) I really dont see much resemblance at all from the Sports 4 concept to the production TSX. The S4 concept was a really hot looking car.   I happen to think the shields look almost identical.

Replying to: aviboy97 (Mar 23, 2008 5:40 pm) The Sports 4 and the TSX share the same design language. They have the same grill and 'shield', the same fender flares, the same lateral character line that intersects the front flares as it goes to the back.   Anyway, it's a design theme that is adapted to each car. The MDX has the same basic shapes and the new TL will too. In fact, look at the shape of the lower part of the Sports 4 front bumper. Look a the current TL. See a resemblance?

Replying to: satoauto (Mar 23, 2008 6:22 pm) If I remember correctly, the TL came out long before the Sports 4 concept debuted. At the auto show there was the new RL, which had striking resemblance to the Sports 4 Concept as well as the current Accord. Replies to this message: satoauto (Mar 24, 2008 10:42 am)

Replying to: aviboy97 (Mar 24, 2008 10:04 am) That is correct. My point is that design trends are typically set about 3 years before car reaches production. The 2004 has a lower air intake design that influenced the Sports 4. Lending credibility to the notion that when the next generation TL arrives, it will carry this theme into the 2009 TL. Of course it will also incorporate the new 'keen edge' language too, this means the fender flares, grill, head and tail light treatment.
