06 Brochures are in!!!!!!!!!!

Acura dealers now have the 06 TSX brochures in stock. I picked one up today and there are a lot more colors and interior combinations to choose from. The car looks awesome!!!!!! Hope to shed my RSX-S real soon for a TSX.

I wonder what color is shown on the "Vision" page? It looks too light to be CG but too dark to be Alabaster Silver -- and as far as I know they don't make color in between. It looks like the Silverstone Metallic on my S2000.

I went to a dealer this weekend to get numbers on the 2006 and they have a new blue metallic color that is a deeper blue than the Meteor Silver. It probably is that color.

Also, I was told that the price increase will be $750 over last year's model. Current MSRP is $27190 + destination, so the new price will put the TSX close to the $28000 mark.

At first I thought it might be the new metallic blue too, but comparing it to the other scans (of that color) that doesn't seem to be the case. It might actually be Alabaster with the lighting making it look darker.

So your dealer says $750 and other have reported being told $250. I think dealers are still just guessing.

did they change the ring glow-lights on the speed/odometer? looks white, or is it just the images? hope they're still blue.

the rear bumper look sort of square-ish. not as round/smooth edges as the '05.

Went to the seattle auto show on Thursday and no 2006 TSX! LAME!!!!!!! I talked to one sales rep that actualy drove it during training. she said it had more oooomph....but then again it was a lady and she tried to tell me that the 205hp was measured at the wheels. I just let her talk cause she was hot. I got a brochure as well and I like the way it looks! Very nice body style! The front bumper is def different. It has fog lights and that extra place for the CAI vent, not either or anymore. You can have fog lights and the cai vent down there. The side skirts and the rear bumper look different as well.

The new Civic EX are rated 140HP, and vtec.net's dyno test showed almost that figure at the wheels. That being said, I would be very, very surprised if that were the case with the new TSX.

Effin' weird, it is. I spoke with my dealer this weekend and he repeated his "1/2 percent MSRP increase" mantra yet again, which would be under $150 even with Nav. Of course, he's the one that told me the destination charge was going up $110 over the $570 that it was then, and this time he confirmed the new d.c. is $615, so he's been wrong once already.

This is kinda cool: I found out my build date was 20 October. That's also the day I quit smoking after thirty years... partly to keep the new TSX clean. Of course, it goes both ways, the new ride is my reward, but I'm still liking the carma of it all...

They may have moved it up there so they could fit the Memory seat buttons.

Well seeing how the most we have heard anyone dynoing in at is around 192hp at the wheels with hondata, header, exhaust, hyflow cat, CAI, etc. etc I don't think it's gonna dyno 205hp stock at the wheels. The only TSX that may dyno at 205hp at the wheels is gonna be TSXondubs using the bottle!

As I said before, I don't expect it.

No, 2006's are rated using a new standard so the 06's 205 would have been say 210-215 last year so the engine probly recieved anywhere from 10-15 more HP.

Have a look at 2006 Info thread, it explains it all.

Hey Dom,

I though it was just an intake and exhaust upgrade? Did they actually change the engine?
