These are the first shots of the new TSX i've seen..unfortunatly you can't tell much.

STL

They look very similar to the one posted on VTEC awhile back.

Nogard13

Seems rather wide at the bottom and too skinny up top. Maybe it's just the way the cammo hangs.

I like the tails and the exhaust.

wackura

It reminds me a lot of the current TL with the thick roofline, wider base, rounded off rear section and square exhaust. Plus those are TL type S wheels. It's interesting how the rear pillars are rounded while the rear window is concave inward.

jwood_06TSX

I thinks it the TL....it looks a lot like a Maxima type body though

Its def too big to be a TSX....at least i hope so!

wackura

I agree, I believe that's the next TL given it's similarities with the current model, its girth and inferior apearance. The spy shot commentary likens it to the Tourer concept but since no TL concept has been seen there is no way to say that's not what it is.

yeah, looks like the same TL spy shots on vtec.net. agreed w/ the maxima look. front end looks huge. i'm not a fan of the flatter/bigger looking front. makes it look...american.

One of the phots has the car in question next to a BMW 3....they look similiar in size, at least from the photos.

I'm not holding my breath on this one, my TSX is probably going to be with me throughout this next model. Luckily, its handsome enough to go the long haul.

How can one even recognize that car as a Honda/Acura product? Could be the new Mazda 6, Maxima, or some other sedan for all I know. I'm hoping the new TSX looks like the Sports 4 concept that was introduced last year. It's the best possible look given the guesses that people have put forth to date. Also hoping for more low-end power and AWD.

wackura

It has TL wheels. There ya go.

Jack Slate

I have those wheels...for my TSX and made for my TSX.

jlukja

Thats it. The nose looks familiar, as does the raised trunk line.

off-topic:

Jack Slate, who's the hottie in your avatar? I see that picture in many avatars (on this site and others) and am just curious.

wackura

Seems kinda transexual to have a female avatar. Am I supposed to be picturing the girl in that image as I read his posts?

Jack Slate

Seems kind of presumptuous to have preconceptions about someone based on their avatar. And no, the picture is eye candy, she's fine. Is it hard to discern between text on a screen and user avatar?

well someone on the TL forum overlaid the new accord on that image and they are of the same dimensions. We assumed it was the TL from it's dimensions but maybe the TSX is going to grow.

Mokos23

I think that is the next TSX because the TL isn't even offered and the Acura name doesn't even exist in Europe.

It is the next TSX as it is being benchmarked against the BMW328i as shown in the pics..

loulinjai

I don't see a rear diff. I guess no SH-AWD

ILoveMyHonda

To be honest I reallly hope that isn't the next TSX.

Peeking thru the camo in the front the headlights almost look unchanged.

While the rear looks like its close to the shape of a Prius

I also spy more chrome molding along the roofline

Well we shall see....

wackura

An avatar is supposed to represent you not your fantasies.

wackura

If that is in fact that next TSX and that is in fact that roof line descending to the rear I will in fact not buy the next TSX.

stevezilla

what? aw man, i didn't get the memo.

me angry.
me smash Tokyo!
SMASH! STOMP!
*knocks over the Sompo building*

MIKEYDRED

means nothing the MDX isn't offered in Europe and it was tested there. This is the TL.

mg7726

^^ Mikey does have a point.

kennungesser

Just curious, why would they test in Europe, when the TL is made in Marysville Ohio?

wackura

The TSX isn't built in Europe either.

ILoveMyHonda

They test it on the Nurburgring track in Germany.

It has many variances in grade and corners and uneveness.

It's just an ideal place to "test" the cars abilities.

bbbuzzy

Any reason to doubt this old article? It says their source was Honda.

Jack Slate

Another wackass presumptuous statement. Why am I not surprised?

Jack Slate

That article is old. It was dated "10-20-2005".

wackura

That's what an avatar is. Look it up. If you put a girl, I assume you're a girl.. or at least want to be.

Jack Slate

Ugghh, no, that is not what explicitly what an avatar is for. Apparently, your lack of experience on Internet Message Boards causes you to make false assumptions. You sure you're 28 years old? You sound like you're an immature 16 year old who makes up lies about others. And I'm sure everyone thinks you're so cool with multiple ugly images of your car. Please, you need step back and quit harrassing.

offsight204

damn is a lil hard to believe thats the tsx... cuz damn dual exhaust on both sides for a 2.0-2.4 lol what you guys think

wackura

The current TSX actualy has dual exhaust. No shit.

wackura

I see I've struck upon some deeper truth. Don't direct your anger at me friend.

ninjamyst

sooo....are you a car?

or want to be a car? transformer?

Wisc Badger

is it just me or do the tail lights scream Lexus? maybe that and the exhaust, it kinda looks like the LS430 or 450 or whatever number they are up to these days.

maybe its the next gen camery or avalon?

Wisc Badger

don't worry... most of us would rather stare at a fine piece of ass than someones car or someones ugly mug (no offense). we all should commend you on displaying a little slice of heaven while we talk about acuras and other stuff.

i say keep the hotties as avatars comin!

The new TSX ( if it is one) is looking ugly so far IMHO.

As far as avatars are concern I think it is SUPPOSED to respresent you, or your interests. He is not the only one with a girl for an avatar. There is nothing wrong with that. I been on here a for a while now and don't post much. But this is got to be one of the dumbest arguements ever.
