Since the TSX was intro'd in the US last Spring, doesn't that mean that the 2005 model year is coming this Spring. If anyone has heard the buzz about 2005, what changes have you heard are in store for the mean machine? I'm kinda hoping that they'll add some more exterior colors close to the deep red they make the TL in.

Also, I read the comments about squeaks in the front-end and brakes. Could someone repeat for my benefit? What was the fix for this?

 

Welcome aboad Mako! Check out the search button at the top of the page. There are plenty of threads on rattles/squeaks and a few on the 2005 model.

 

Thanks, Dan. Yeah, I dug a little deeper and saw some comments about the things I mentioned but some of them seemed a few months outdated.

 

I talked with Seth Felcher, an executive at Acura Canada, and a big fan of the TSX as well. He was very excited about the upcoming 2005 version, a "stand-out" he tagged it.

Now this is Canadian model specific information only. He was under the impression that the US model would remain virtually unchanged, and maybe suffering from the deletion of the low fuel indicator, the power driver's seat and less colour choices, with Satin Silver Metallic, Nighthawk Black and Mary Kay Pink Pearl soon to be the only offerings.

For Canadians, the TSX will now come with a few more standard features...

- All Wheel Drive
- Powered Passenger seat
- One touch position memory for driver's seat
- 450W DVD-A stereo from TL
- 18inch alloys
- Fog Lights
- Navigation with rear view camera

Optional equipment includes...

- A-Spec version with 265HP, carbon fibre trimmed interior, and Brembo brakes.
- Limited Edition BOWERSAN version, given the thumbs up as a beautiful car by the one, J Bowersan, current owner of an ugly TSX.

New Colours...

- Carbon Grey
- Anthracite
- Arctic Blue
- Meteor Silver
...all colours now available in parchment or ebony trimmed interior.

Oh, the AT will be upgraded to an SMG like configuration, giving the driving dynamics a sharpened edge.

Just kidding...

2005 will not have any changes that warrant space in the "what's new" column. IMO, minor tweaking will address the fit and finish issues. Continued denial of MT failures due to faulty design/construction will be followed until my MT fails. Then they'll be forced to admit the truth!:P

 

Or else you will make an example of their infidelity and crush their heads like a grape.....SSSSSSSSPLAT!!!!!

If I ever see a pink TSX, Im driving mine off of the nearest handy cliff.:swear2:

 

You missed all the equipment described in that other thread (maple syrup warmers, hockey stick compartment, etc.)

 

THOSE ARE THE ESSENTIALS!!!

If they come out with those options for Canada and not the US, I say it's time to invade! (Just long enough to grab all the TSX's

 

Soze, you had me going until "and Mary Kay Pink Pearl"

 

Canadians will also be getting a wagon version, to store moose and hockey bags.

 

That's what I am waiting for!

 

How hard would it be for them to put automatic fucking headlights on???

 

hahaha, also, they will ahve an optional snow plow bumper!


hahahaha, aayy.

 

I think there's a bodykit on ebay with that feature already!

 

hahahaha, wooooops, i forgot, they do. lol

 

I thought you'd be tipped off by Seth Felcher. Terrible Terry Tate reference

 

The Honda Accords are getting illuminated steering wheel controls, since the Acura TSX and Accords have almost identical steering wheels I think TSX's will get that upgrade as well.
