No offense to anyone with Polished Metal, but finally Acura dropped it from the line. Good! I never thought it was a good looking paint color, and grigio was nicer between the two. Polished metal was never really dark enough, or "metallic" enough. On the other hand, dark greys on the Lexus, especially Mazdas, and for God's sake, even on Camrys look much better. They are very dark, glossy, has metal flakes, and just simply bad ass. I always felt polished metal was kinda weak and that's why I got a PWP instead. I cant' wait to see the new paint colors for 2011!

Y'know, treating the rear people as real people.

"climate-controlled front center console" is what i saw but i think someone may have just misquoted that. As for the rear vents I think the sedan does get those. Didnt see any confirmation yet but i really hope it does.

Collin,
When are you expecting to receive the 2011 sedans?
I am expecting to buy end of Jan or early Feb. I would guess the sooner they arrive the better chance i would have of getting a deal around then.

Nope, but I'd guess that +$1000 would be sensible. Which means it'll probably be +$1500
You should be fine. They're looking more like December arrivals now. Things always get mucked up during the holidays.

I heard I will be getting a (one, singular, not for sale) Wagon on December 15th. Have you heard anything along these lines Colin?

This might be related to the recent IN post stating that they 'screwed up' allocation and retracted all the orders. It looks like they're replacing the initial orders with 'coverage units' till they can get production up. (how I interpreted the note)

Summer is Coming
From TOV...
"...One more item of interest from that same Q&A, Ito also mentions that Honda is considering shifting TSX production to the US. And finally, speaking of the TSX, the TSX Sportwagon will be in showrooms within the next 2 months. To be more specific, "late December-early January" is what we've been told. ..."
and this tid bit...
"The new entry level sub-TSX model is on track to be shown next year. The source says it will be offered with gasoline and hybrid powertrains. Also, and I quote: "We have been told it is very edgy and very affordable. 'Think aggressive IS350' we were told." We're not exactly sure what to make of that statement. "
I certainly wouldn't call the CSX edgy, unless they are thinking a Acura version of the CR-Z. But the CR-Z is underpowered and its hybrid performance is lacking.
Anyway 2012 will be an interesting year for cars.

I wish they'd mess with the V-6 model a little bit to compete with the 2012 Regal GS. Sport suspension, a more aggressive set of wheels and tires, 6-speed automatic and manual....oh but to dream.

Since there is so little information available about the 011's, you can be sure that any changes will be minimal (anything earthshaking, and the media would have been all over it a year ago). You can forget about any powertrain changes or even much in the way of exterior updates (except of course for the grill already seen on the wagon). I'm also confident the wagon will have the same EPA mileage ratings as the sedan. Turbo or all wheel drive? Around the same time pigs fly.......

yup that guy in the video has no idea what he is talking about lol just visited my dealer to look at the TL for my mom, and the fleet manger told me that the 2011 will be here in Feb, because Acura is having trouble getting the factory in Japan ready to make the wagon.

I think there is a picture of the new TSX sedan on acura.com in the future vehicles TSX wagon section. I was looking at the pics under the "see it on the street" and there is a picture of two TSX's with someone setting up a tent. The silver TSX in the pic appears to be a sedan but the front end is a little different. Not sure if anyone has already seen it, if so sorry for the repost.

Safety Car
Info
Despite the TSX sedan being a top choice in its class, Acura has not rested on its laurels, as a host of major updates have been made for 2011. Topping the list, the TSX sedan receives a freshened exterior look along with a wide array of new features and technology-- with particular attention being paid to further improving quality and cabin quietness. In addition, significant improvements have been made to both the 2.4L I-4 and 3.5L V-6 engines that yield improved fuel efficiency, lower emissions and longer engine life.
"The 2011 TSX offers even better looks, more owner relevant technology and class-leading fuel economy," said Jeff Conrad, vice president of Acura sales. "In short, the best entry luxury car just got better."
Acura's philosophy of smart luxury is well evidenced by the combination of great looks, a luxury interior available with a wide variety of technology features, and excellent safety-- all for an exceptional level of value. Thanks to this great mix of attributes, the TSX has the largest percentage of buyers under 30 among all luxury sedans and has remained the volume leader within its segment according to Global Insight.
Exterior
On the outside, the 2011 TSX receives a new front fascia, revised chin spoiler, new fog light garnish assembly and an updated grill. The updated front end teams with new underbody panels to improve aerodynamics. At the rear, revised taillights and an updated rear license plate garnish add more visual appeal for the TSX.
The standard 17-inch 5-spoke aluminum wheels for the 2.4L 4-cylinder model are more cutting edge as they now incorporate a machined lip on the face of the spokes, and the split 5-spoke 18-inch aluminum wheels remain standard with the 3.5L V-6 model.
Interior
Inside, the 2011 TSX receives a host of visual upgrades in the form of revised styling for the center console, darker trim pieces, brightly finished door handles, an updated parking brake handle and new garnishes for the steering wheel. In addition, new is contrasting-color stitching for the leather seats, door armrests and center console. Rear seat occupants will enjoy added comfort thanks to the addition of heating/cooling vents mounted at the rear of the center console.
Acura is known for its outstanding array of user relevant technology, and the 2011 TSX further expands on this concept. New for 2011, the TSX with available Technology Package now includes an LED backlit full VGA navigation screen (that generates 400-percent better resolution than before), improved navigation system functions (faster performance, improved search ability and expanded map coverage), Song By Voice™ (SBV) user interface, a 60-gigabyte hard disk drive (HDD) system, and the ability to download 15-gigabytes of personal music to the HDD system. Now with the ability to store more than 3,500 songs*, there is no longer a need to carry around bulky CDs.
Acura has always put much emphasis on building an interior that is exceptionally quiet, and for 2011 the TSX has even greater cabin serenity thanks to items such as a new acoustic glass front windshield, even thicker side glass, increased use of sound-deadening insulation, improved floor mats and new underfloor covers.
Drivetrain
The 2011 TSX sedan remains fun to drive thanks to two powerful engine choices with class-leading fuel efficiency; a spirited 2.4L inline four cylinder engine and a torquey 3.5L V-6. For 2011, both engines receive numerous improvements to reduce internal operating friction which help improve fuel economy, lower carbon dioxide (CO2) output and increase engine life.
As a result, the friction reduction measures are a significant element to improve fuel economy as evidenced by improvements in city, highway and combined fuel economy for both the 2.4L I-4 and the 3.5L V-6.
PHP Code:
2011 TSX EPA estimated city/highway/combined fuel economy ratings**
TSX model EPA rating strong>Improvement (versus 2010 model)
2.4L I-4 (5AT) 22/31/26 mpg +1 city, +1 highway, +1 combined
2.4L I-4 (6MT) 21/29/24 mpg +1 city, +1 highway, +1 combined
3.5L V-6 (5AT) 19/28/23 mpg +1 city, +1 highway, +2 combined
Pricing
On sale at Acura dealerships on November 23, the 2011 TSX with 2.4L I-4 engine will have an MSRP of $29,610 for both manual and automatic transmission models. Equipped with the available Technology package, the MSRP will be $32,710. The TSX with 3.5L V-6 engine will have an MSRP of $35,150, or $38,250 when equipped with the Technology Package.
