Acura TSX

[EMAXX]

I also saw one of these in Denver too. It looks pretty nice, but I don't think that I would ever buy one.

If 200hp in a car the size of my accord is underpowered....guess my car must really suck ass. I thought it was fine. Besides, she isn't buying it to race and shit, she isn't a 17 year old ricer.

I think it's going to prove to be a pretty big mistake for Honda.

The car is underpowered, overpriced, and lacks the luxuries that others have in the same price range.

The car does seem really underpowered. It should have at least like 275 or so to make it a little better.

I read a review of it in SCC, and they said it was a little underpowered for the size, even tho it was far smaller than the US accord.
I kinda like them...I saw somewhere a TL concept, i think in the current SCC, front end = EXACTLY like the TSX...
I dont really mind it tho...

They do look nice, but it could use some more power.

Thats what I've been reading everywhere too.

The interior is very nice as well as functional. The outside has grown on me too.

However when I look at the price tag and the acura badge, I wonder whats going on. I mean, cant acura/ honda see that hp sells cars now. Look at the HP wars with the domestic trucks, the euro sedans (BMW, Merc, Audi, etc), and the Japanese sedans (lex, infin, etc).

People want RWD V8, 300 hp in a luxury car..... They can get a fully loaded accord with more hp for less money, so why would they buy a TSX.

I swear they have gone downhill since they took the legend out of the lineup...

well that is why there is always aftermarket modification. ppl always fail to realize that when it comes to power, everyone wants more. the more the better. Even at say 275 you will be adjusted to it and not be satisfied.

I remember having my 140hp celica GT and I thought that was great until I got the wrx, and now I want more power.... the STI?

The tsx kills the accord sedan in the looks dept. Sure the accord has 240 hp out of the V6. Being a Heavier car, with a heavier motor, it wouldn't surprise me if the tsx walked on it with a few small mods. Especially seeing the results of mods on the last few ivtec motors. My girlfriends choices were down to the accord v6, mercedes c230 coupe, or the tsx. She liked the tsx, for looks, and the drive.

ya but the new accord rules it in interior and options

Umm the tsx has the same options plus hid. In fact it has more standard features than the accord. I've sat in both and they are damn near identical, only the tsx is a little tighter.

Really? BMW 320I/325? Mercedes C240? There are more but I am certain of the above 2! haha

I think it is a great package for the price. Killer looks, solid in and out. Its a Honda, everyone keeps expecting killer torque numbers or something!

I agree, I was reading a car magazine from hk, it was comparing a black evo 8 and a black euro R (TSX). Even though Spec wise the evo wins all respect but the black tsx had 17" rims, lowered I think and inside out, black and red trim seats, guages, knobs I believe and I was like.. its definately got my attention.. I didnt even look at the evo on the same page.

btw I think the tsx has HID as well
