Is that a new Tsx coupe?

Sports 4 Concept just revealed at the Tokyo Motor Show (http://www.vtec.net/news/news-item?news_item_id=420308) looks like it might be a basis for the replacement of RSX and a Tsx-like coupe. What do you think?

That is absolutely gorgeous. The concept is a 4-door, not a coupe, though. It could actually the TSX replacement, possibly.

Check out its side mirrors...
Are they rear-view cameras?

What the hell is that in the B-pillar? And that's more TL than TSX...look at the bumper.

NASTY! The fender flares are rediculous. Almost as nasty as the RX-8 and new MX-5.

Only fender flares that look good are the S2's, new lexus is, current tsx. Basically understated fenders own HUGE FENDERS.

Edit: ALSO, how is that a coupe? it obviously has 4 doors.

Add door handles, remove the black roof, raise the car about 3 inches, bland up the front grille, lights and bumper, reduce the wheel well arches, add full size mirrors, some boring wheels, and remove the reverse crease hood and you will probably have a more realistic production version.

This version looks nice but it has way too many things that I think would never see the light of day.

It's more convincing as a Mazda 6 replacement than a TSX replacment. The side windows screams Mazda 6 to me.

Personally I love it. Except maybe the grill. That could use some work. The side mirrors don't look functional and kind of out of place compared to the rest of the car. SH-AWD looks promising. Let's hope it's not dumbed down too much and has a nice engine to go in it.

My money is that this is Honda's push to upgrade the Civic (Acura EL) into the full North american market. I would have to say it is based on the new civic platform.

edi:that hopefully should equate to an upgraded Civic SI engine 197hp +

That's because it's not a mirror -- it's a camera. The concept that became the TL also had them...

It's just a concept. I'm sure it will seat five eventually. It looks big enough for five now so maybe what limiting it is the rear seat being divided (like the did that one year -- was it 93? -- in the Prelude).

Based on the above, it sure sounds like a TSX redesign -- and it's suppose to have SH-AWD!

Much better than the 2006. The '06 is not worth it. This is a step change.


Quick Reply: Is that a new Tsx coupe?
