Post Brochure at Dealer

I picked a full size (8"x12") brochure at lunch today at my local dealership (Lexington, KY). Funny that the full size brochure arrived just after I received a mini brochure (4"x8") earlier this week in the mail from Acura.

I don't have any way scan any of the images until next week, sorry.

So before someone else can, here is my

I received the mini brochure in the mail earlier this week too. I can scan it when I get home from work, if anyone would like to see it. The pics are matte, not glossy and IMO it looks like crap, but then again, so does the car.

The large brochure is much nicer. As for the TSX, everyone has their own opinion. Those I have shown the brochure to have absolutely loved the looks of the car.

I am going to hold me final opinion until I see one in person and then if I like it test drive the car.

Again I will try to scan the large brochure next week, if anyone would like to see it?

I actually got the mini-brochure today. I think the TSX looks fantastic in the brochure pics. They are by-far the best pics I have seen of the new TSX. Honda's and Acura's usually look like crap in photos IMO. However, the photography done for the TSX is some of the best I have seen from Acura. At least it looks like they are TRYING to market the car properly, even though they didn't build it properly.

Acura's Public Relations/Marketing/Advertising Executives are probably disappointed at the new design and upset because they have to work extra hard to market a product that is difficult to sell on itself.

I am back in town. I will start scanning tonight, although I can't believe someone hasn't posted scans yet.

IF anyone overnights me the brochure, I can do b/w scans of it (PDF or TIFF). Probably not legal, but....

Why isn't the brochure online as a PDF?

I got my mini-brochure in the mail today. I have to say I was generally impressed with the quality of the brochure and the photography. (It looks much better than the scans portray) The brochure itself is designed a bit like a large matchbook.

Anyway, here are the scans for those who asked for them:

I have always wondered why Acura doesn't allow you to download their brochures. You think it would be a cost savings to them as they might not need as many print brochures and save the dealers some cash.

Thank you for taking the time to post your scans! I think the TSX looks great in these pics and the brochure seems a bit better executed overall than Acura's past brochures.

I had the opportunity to view that brochure today at the dealership.

The basque red pearl is for the loss. Goodbye Milano Red. I'm almost thinking Acura might try a Milano red with the new TL.


I've also got the 09 TSX add on parts brochure. There will be no lip kit add ons. In order to spice it up, you will have to order the entire bumper. The front retails for $724, the rear for $816.

Reminding me once again, that there're lots of grays and blues in that color selection chart. Wonder why.

I can imagine Milano red with that new grill ... no wait, I don't have to, I have a couple of red-handled KitchenAid peelers in my drawer.

God, that front bumper sucks. I really cannot believe they let that one go out the door. I might have to wait for the MMC.

I know I'm in the minority, but I love the front bumper. Combined with the headlights and grille, they make the front look aggressive and pissed off.

Here is an article from yahoo auto section about the TSX.
http://autos.yahoo.com/articles/new_...ZpZXctMDkgVFNY

They also mentioned this: "It also includes a 10-speaker sound system with DVD- Audio capability, tuned with input from legendary sound engineer Elliot Scheiner — a guy who's worked with that small garage band, The Eagles."
