I just saw the photos of the 09 TSX and I must say I'm disappointed with the body style. The concept car's body style looked great and would brought some excitement to the Acura line up, but its not to be. As of how the first generation car is the better looking of the two. It also would had been nice if Acura could have added a little more guts to the engine, especially with low range torque. Hey Honda why are you afraid of turbo charging you have one in the RDX. Anyway, I guest I will hang on to my 04 a little bit longer and wait to see what will happen with the new TL.

My earlier cars were 1983 Honda Accord 5-speed manual and 1990 Acura Integra GS 5-speed manual. People have always told me resale values of manual transmission cars are lower because many people don't know how to drive them. I did have some trouble finding a buyer for the Accord in 1990. In Dec 2004, I donated the Integra with 240,000 miles on it. Both were great cars to drive. Now I have an 2005 Accord 5-speed auto. I am looking to buy 2009 TSX in the fall. If I am going to sell the car after 4 to 5 years, will there be a problem selling 6-speed manual?

Replying to: blueverine (Apr 21, 2008 7:57 am) Interesting question, since I think less than 10 percent of American cars are made these days with a manual transmission. But, for what it's worth, I sold my 2000 Accord coupe 5-speed manual recently with very little effort. I did it the old-fashioned way -- no high-tech eBay or Craig's List listings to all the world with photos, just a three-line classified ad in my local newspaper. Had just one person call, and he bought it at basically my asking price. Couldn't have been simpler. I think the point is that the manual transmission enthusiasts seek each other out, they watch for good cars like my Accord, and are always around to buy, albeit in small numbers. But, you only need one buyer, right?

Replying to: austinman7 (Apr 21, 2008 12:52 pm) As a specialty car, I guess, there will be a market for 6-speed manual TSX. Selling a family car with manual transmission could be a problem, as most people don't know how to drive stick shift. When TSX hits showrooms, I would like to see whether there is a significant demand for 6-speed manual, compared to 5-speed automatic. |
