| The base TSX does not come with fullly-automatic headlights. Does anyone know if it at least has auto-off headlights? | |

Replying to: biker4 (Jul 16, 2008 4:10 am) Yes, the comparison is only meaningful against the similar gas model - the same as you can't compare an E320CDI against an Accord. Well there are many, including me, that would not agree that a Jetta/Civic comparison is the same as a E320/Accord comparison. But YMMV.  Forgot about the Maxima - yup diesel version coming for CY 2009, will be more powerful than the one proposed for the TSX, IIRC. I do wonder if it won't actually be priced HIGHER than the TSX, and I doubt it will handle much better than a large luxo-barge either. hpmctorque: I forget if we were talking about sales prospects for ALL TSXs or just the diesels. I think the diesel will be almost in a class of one for a little while, while the gas models are overpriced or underdelivering, you pick. |

I just realized that the TSX in the US, in addition to being about $7K cheaper than in Canada, also comes with no charge automatic! What kind of scam is Acura pulling on Canadians!

"hpmctorque: I forget if we were talking about sales prospects for ALL TSXs or just the diesels. I think the diesel will be almost in a class of one for a little while, while the gas models are overpriced or underdelivering, you pick." We were talking about all TSXs. My recollection of the context of our difference regarding sales of the new generation TSX was the following: We were both disappointed that size and weight increased, but we differed on sales projections. I believe you took the position that sales would be disappointing, while I argued that, despite the rather poor reviews, I thought that sales would be respectable. My reasons were that first year sales would be okay because its a new generation. Second year sales would get a boost from the diesel. Third year sales would probably be supported by a freshening and/or the addition of a turbo "S" choice. Finally, although fourth year (2012) sales would probably decline, Acura could introduce an attractive lease deal, or some other marketing ploy, to help sales. Time will tell how things turn out.
