I heard a top executive in conversation mention that the starting price will be $39,400 - which puts it $590 less than the base model TL. If this is the case, that would mean a $1900 bump over the price of 2009 TSX Premium.

I'm hearing rumours that we won't have a base model this year. Now if this is the case, would it not make perfect sense to bring down the price of the TSX Premium to about $35,500...to make for a lower gap between the Canadian and US price?

U mean there are rumors there wont be a 2010 Base 4 cylinder with clothe?

$1,900 is far more resonable than the $5,500 they're charging in the US.

In fact it sounds like a steal. You`re probably right about the Premium price being dropped.

Acura Victoria which is closing down is having a blow out sale. You can pick up a TL SH-AWD for $47,000 - $5,000 which brings it down to $42,000. Not bad since that's what I paid for my TSX Tech with Aero kit. Or you can get a TSX Tech with Auto for $39,000.

I heard it's all pretty much a dead duck. My thinking to this is partly because of the extra model which is the V6 TSX and partly cuz the CSX this year will only be available as a Tech Package and a type-S...priced right now at 31,290 and 33,290 (apparently the prices of these models will come down slighly also).

Is the base TSX (with cloth) a big seller in Canada?

I have noticed that Acura (in the US) seems to be offering lower volume cars/trims in just a few color combos for 2010. For example the base & CMBS RL's and the stick shift TSX & TL's are offered in four color combos instead of the full range of colors as before.

CraigMacDTA

All I know is that this year Acura is cutting back on colour combos for most of it's line-up.

Shift_Acura

I have the base with clothe...its gonna kill my resale value if they stop making them lol

CraigMacDTA

Ok, so the base TSX with cloth lives on for 2010 PLUS the pricing for the V6 TSX is official, with a release date of Oct.1st

V6 TSX Base - $39,790
V6 TSX Tech - $42,790

Also, prices for 4 cylinder are similar to 2009, with the Base and Premium going up $90 each while the Tech goes up $290.

dom

Just so I can wrap me head around this...

4 cyl AT TSX w/Tech is $40,300
4 cyl AT TSX Prem is $37,500

For a difference of about $2100-$2200. That's what I call value for the V6. Not the $5,500 insanity they charge in the US. And still about a grand less than a base TL.

Now if only they offered a 6MT

Just a comparison for all the TSX Canadian pricing for those who are not aware.

All Prices are MSRP without frieght/pdi or any tax
For comparison purposes with V6 models...all transmissions in AT

2010 TSX Base 4cyl: $34290
2010 TSX Premium 4cyl (adds leather, hids + minor things to base): $37590
2010 TSX Tech 4cyl: $40590
2010 TSX Base V6: $39790
2010 TSX V6 Tech: $42790

2010 TL Base V6 FWD: $39990

Which brings to my point: why is the V6 TSX only $200 cheaper than the larger TL with the same drivetrain? I notice the US price difference between Base TSX V6 and Base TL FWD is also a few hundred dollars difference...this makes no sense to me

For information: $1 CDN = ~93 US cents at the moment.

Shift_Acura

2010 TSX V6 Base: $41,685

2010 G37 Base: $39,815

(Including Freight and PDE)


WHOS GONNA BUY A TSX V6 OVER A G37. THATS WHAT I'D LIKE TO KNOW

09TSXTech

Now may be time to look at remaining 09 stock. In BC they are offering $3,000 factory to dealer incentives for all remaining TSX and TL models.

So the TSX Premium 4cyl: $34,590 and
the TL Base V6 FWD: $36,990

Just saw an add in the Calgary Sun where they are offering $5000 off of TL's (Alberta only)

So you can get a base TL for much less than a TSX V6. Nice work Acura, your marketing is just awesome . I knew the TL's werent selling well, but not that bad.

dom

Because the 4 cylinder was overpriced to begin with. It was already pushing up against TL prices. There was very little room for the TSX V6 to go. They couldn't lower 4 cylinder pricing.

Having said that I'd take a TSX over a TL.

dom

Not me. Frankly (IMO), its not even close.

cp3117

Me too.

Im not to sure what Acura Canada is trying to do. Its sales have been probably the worse out of all Luxury brands since last fall (As most have had increasing sales during these economic times...which is odd).

There currently are huge incentives to move their product and inventories are not an issue. They are now going to offer these kinds of prices for the TSX. I didnt think Acura sales numbers could get any worse after last month but I think Acura is trying hard to prove us wrong.

dom

In their defense. TSX prices were set a year ago. Either they knew the V6 was coming and decided to run with these prices anyway, or they didn't expect the V6 so figured they could inflate the price of the 4 cylinder. Either way, I don't think we can expect them to now lower the price of the 4 to make room for the 6.

Then again, maybe they don't expect to sell many V6's so they're not too concerned.

Not according to the sales figures. Most automakers are down these days but the TL and TSX are selling at about the same rate as the G and A4 and almost always better than the ES according to the month-to-month sales figures provided over at the canadiandriver forum. The TSX got off to a slow start but with the aggressive incentives lately they've been selling very well.

cp3117

Actually yes, especially according to sales figures.

I was using "desrosiers" as I thought they where the best for manufactuer figures in Canada. There September results have showed Acura is down the most Monthly, YTD and even in market share than all the other major luxury builders in Canada.

I quickly checked the canadiandriver forum but i couldnt find their stats section (although it is a big site). I have always wanted to find a breakdown of vehicles sold in Canada but can never find a good site. If you know of one that breaks down vehicle stats and not just manufactuers could you please post me a link as i would sure appreciate it....Thanks in advance.

5thTo2nd

sure thing. I don't have the exact page but if you head on over to the canadiandriver forum and look at the Sales Reports and Industry News section there's a thread titled Canadian Sales Figures or something like that by siraquaman. It's a pdf updated monthly and breaks down sales by model and manufacturer month to month. hope that's what you're looking for.
