I know that everyone has been waiting for news about the 2006 TSX. Well, I can tell you everything you need to know courtesy of a certified Acura sales representative. The 2006 TSX will be........drumroll, please.......NON-EXISTENT!!!!! That's right. Turns out that the TSX is a limited production vehicle and production will cease after the 2005 model year.

That's what he said. You heard it here first.

Don't trust everything a salesperson tells you. Btw, what other car did he try to sell you instead?

Thanks for the headsup

Or maybe he was trying to convince you that you needed to buy it right away since it was going to be a rare car.

Is it true TSX is very limited in production tho?
doesn't mean you won't get them....just they don't have many in lot
therefore you won't be able to get much discount?

jlukja

certified? certifiable?

I believe this was it although I wasn't really negotiating with him at all. I was only there with my brother in-law as he was picking up his new (used 2002) TL. I was just looking at a 6MT TSX when a salesman walked by and said, "That's the last one of those that we're going to get." I said, "Oh, you mean with a manual transmission - no more until '06?" That's when he said no more at all.

jlukja

They're not getting any more because they are too stupid to sell them.

I've actually heard they are discontinuing the 6-Speed. The TSX has been a hit for Acura though, it should stick around a while.

Ps. I'm probably one of the only people here nerdly enough to get your name. BOOKS

I can't believe that they would discontinue the manual on a sport sedan. They just couldn't , could they?

And yes, you're right about my user name. I couldn't think of anything so I looked over at my bookshelf and saw Fahrenheit 451. The rest is history.

I was told the warranty starts when it rolls off the factory.. not when it's sold.....

Black Ninja

^^ haha...ohh man, that is a good one

kenji4861

the sales rep was trying to get you to buy the 2005 now.. not giving you the reason to wait for an 06. .. so he can get the sales.

What is this guy's name and which dealership.. I'm bored.. I juss wanna cal him and screw around.

Roman-dude

now?????? 1.43am EST.......

joerockt

Damn, I hope so...That would make my resale value

I doubt it...Honda is actually adding a MT option to the V6 Accord sedan so obviously there's a market for manuals.

You should call Acura Client Services and let them know about this...People like that shoudn't be allowed to sell Acuras. (800) 382-2238

TypeRS

^ definitely agree
and ppl who are gullible enough to believe this bs shouldn't be driving a tsx

Bill Hook

But if only smart people sold cars, it would be harder to get a deal.

Powered by Honda

No offical Honda statement or heads up =

However, the TSX is an accord and Honda can produce them fast. It wont be gone for awhile....7 year run I'm thinking. tee hee unless we get the 8th gen jdm accord as the 2nd gen tsx?

Only time will tell. But one thing is for sure. The TSX is here to stay for a long time.

mclarenf3387

Uhh, thats true.

fdl

I hope they discontinue the 6mt

joerockt

Or else this:

artmcd88

who knows...maybe honda is planning on making the new accord with the same body style as in europe (a la TSX) and so there will beno nead for a TSX...just a thought...but ill believe the no 06 story when i see it

dmbfan36_23

Did you go back and talk to the dealer now that the 06 specs are out? :-)

Good4nothin

I heard one of our sales people tell a customer that the S40 was a rear wheel drive car. I was like and this other guy was like

Motohip

I knew a guy that went to the Infiniti dealership and the sales-tard told him that the 't' in G20t stood for turbo.

Salesmen can be so stupid sometimes.

All new 2006 TSX information is already posted on www.vtec.net . TSX is not being discontinued. What kind of nonsence is that?

Vehicle will be in production by October and will arrive at the showroom by the beginning of November.

Definitely up to 210 HP, w/ Bluetooth, memory driver seats, over 600 voice command for the navigation system, minor change for front and rear lights.

Whoever spread those rediculous rumor was just a disgrace for Acura Council of Sales Excellence.

BTW, Acura will still keep the TSX production around 30,000 units per year mark. They are definitely keeping the production of 6MT. Guys, I've been with Acura for 6 years. TSX is still going extremely strong in terms of sales. July is another record selling month for TSX. I personally sold 3 TSX's myself last month. We have to keep one on the lot so the clients can at least test drive the car before they put their order in. Do the math, there are 264 Acura dealers, each dealer only gets 7 TSX's per month. Yes, you can say that it is a limited production vehicle.

what you do at Acura ?

i pass by two different dealers to bring my acura for service.

i brought my car in to one of them for an oil change here and they didn't check my tire pressure, didn't top of my windshield wiper fluid, and didn't wash my car until i asked them to after they gave it back to me.

the other one i went to twice to look at a TL and BOTH times(different salesman) the salesman just didn't know anything. he kept having to check up everything. they both told me the wrong size on the optional wheels and i had to correct him, he didn't know the hp, he didn't know what was standard and what was an option...both of the salesmen were just awful.
