2006 TSX Info...

I'm wodenring if the '06 will have a higher redline with the peak HP now coming at 7000rpm. I always thought the 2.4 should be able to go a little higher. Before anyone starts propgating the myth that the 2.4L has faster piston speed than an S2000, let me tell you you're wrong. Doing the math, both the 2.0L and 2.2L S2000 have a signficantly faster piston speed -- heck even the RSX-S is faster I believe.

and regarding the grill, ever since the new TL came out, i was hoping the TSX wouldhave a grill similar to the TLs...maybe it will
i dont see how acura can change the rear when imo, it's already perfect...PLEASE do NOT put Euro taillights on there...actually doing so would make me feel better about my 05 lol

how the fuck do you know that???????

SOB!!!! Damn you Acura. I'm one of the unlucky 05 owners I guess. boo. And I only have 4k miles on my car.. DOH!
I wonder how many people will trade their 04's or 05's.

Wow! I am drooling already.... though I should really wait to see how it looks with the new exterior styling! I hope the front grill will look more like the TL.
Now, how long is a typical Acura cycle for each model? 6 years?
I guess the lifespan of this TSX probably won't be that long then, since it started in 2002 in Japan and I guess it will develop into something bigger and better too, just like how the G20 (which was a rebadged European Nissan) has developed into the G35.... am I on the right track here?

I'm happy I bought my car when I did. I got it for 27K with navi, which I think is a steal.
I will however take a look at it. If the payment difference isn't much, then I wouldn't mind to upgrade.

A 2k price difference for a mid model change?? I dont think the msrp price differential will be greater than 600-1000 bucks.

I just went over to the Honda UK site - they have the new Civic there. If you care to look at what some of the new paint colors look like, go to the exterior pics of the new Civic - it shares some of the new paint colors that the TSX will have too.
Now, this actually really bothers me - why would Honda/Acura be sharing the same paint colors? If Acura wants to build its own identity, it should stop using the same components as Honda. I know the same old argument for cost-cutting etc.... but if I still see the Honda parts in my Acura, in the long run, it does not do the brand name any favor.

There is no Acura in the UK or anywhere else other that North America. If I'm not mistaken.

I heard there is a new HP rating system....
This is also why the RSX-S is showing 201 HP vs 210 and 155 vs 160. Its just a new rating that is going to be used...I think it will be across the board for the manufacturers.

The power increase sounds nice, but for the people w/ a lot of mods, I don't think it'll be much different except having different camshafts. And as mention Hondata still needs to crack the ECU to see the real gains. here's hoping for a new reflash
The exterior changes irk me because it'll probably hurt the aftermarket for the original TSX, as if there was any. It'd be really bad if the existing CL7/9 parts didn't fit. I already have a new grill and side sills, who needs stock ones
