2009 Acura TSX to debut at New York
Acura, Honda’s North American prestige brand (think Nissan – Infiniti and Toyota – Lexus) will launch the all new Acura TSX at the 2008 New York International Auto Show. If you squint slightly while looking at the image, you would be forgiven for thinking the new car was a European spec Honda Accord. It may come as no surprise then to discover that the current 2008 Acura TSX is a rebadged version of the European spec Honda Accord.
The 2008 model is equipped with a 205hp 2.4L i-VTEC inline 4 cylinder engine and either a 5 speed automatic or 6 speed manual gearbox. Acura are coy on specifications of the 2009 TSX at present but promise improvements in performance so expect at least a refresh of the powertrains. The styling is more evolution than revolution as Acura appears to be playing it safe. Safety and technology are also said to be in for enhancement so expect airbags and traction control devices aplenty.
So where is the Sport4 conncept?? So dissapointing...
I see alot of honda accord.. door handles ? side mirrors? but i like :P
looks pretty nice.. let's see what kind of engine improvements they come up with... i have faith in you honda... better be something good..
Hopefully they also bringthe cool wagon here. Even though they probably will not call it a wagon! Is this Euro Accord made in England?
it has a big fat upper lip... not necessarily ugly but its not out of the box design. it will take time getting used to.
i see acura (honda) didn't stray too far from the last generation's styling. where's the turbo 4 from the acura suv? 205 hp isn't going to get it when i can get 60 more in a US model accord.
it looks nice but not really a new face..just like old TSX with some mods..honda is smart to play this way..LOL..i wish it has the turbo engine from acura RDX...
