the tsx will survive but apparently only with the silky powerful J35. the ilx will take over the 4cylindar sales (if it already has not see tsx sales dropping here).

according to motortrend <-- click for article

um, I doubt this article is absolute truth...the v6 barely sells, they are gonna tank the sales of a car that actually brings people to the acura dealership...wtf, who the heck is the COO there?

Wonder if they are going to offer the V6 with an 6MT now that it is the only model or if it is going to be stuck with the mediocre 5AT it is saddled with currently?

musty hustla

turn it into a coupe and be done with it

KillerG

Yeah theyd tank it, why not? The tsx is a solid value, there is likely a higher profit margin on the ILX vs the TSX so while big brother still looms its probably hurting sales on the ILX

If this is true theyll likely continue to only offer the v6 with the 5at for the cars last year(s). We already know there are no 2013 changes planned, and it makes no sense to give the car a new transmission at this stage financially.

What will be interesting will be seeing how they handle the new Euro Accord, which should be just around the corner...

That's what i was thinking.

New euro accord will prob just be the TLX.

Me toooooooo :\

We have yet to see any concepts, renderings, camo cars, or anything resembling a next gen euro accord from Honda. Well likely see something incredibly soon, and then it'll launch as a 2014/2015 and well have it a few months after, maybe a mid 2014 launch or something. I wouldn't be surprised if the tsx goes off the lineup for 2014, the tl continues through 2014 as a no changes model, and then is replaced by the new tlx-euro accord. Makes alotta sense for Honda and cleans up their model line a little bit. Earth dreams engines are officially ONLINE so expect a v6 out of that range powering the new car!!

You heard it here first folks

Awesome.

saw these pics somewhere on azine i think... i think they're from a china car show or something. not sure how legit it is

Stak that is a sweet concept. I wish someone would release a car like like without dumbing it down for the public. I'm sure there would be a lot of people who would like an aggressive looking car like this.

KillerG

^not related to the euro accord but judging by honda's latest design choices expect those sharp creases down the side, pronounced fog area, and rounded off trunk to make it into our next acura product.

The sharper sides, good, but the rounded off trunk does not look aggressive, and i hope to god they leave the exhausts visible on the next mid size acura.

They are not visible on the new ILX, RDX, and RLX, which worries me.

Looks like the new Accord .___.

NSX headlights huh?? Im gunna say that aftermarket grilles for that car would be near impossible!

donavo

i wonder how much u can actually see in those toothpick mirrors

TSXKid2010

That's Concept C, a concept intended to become a production car for the Chinese market

KillerG

@donavo: those are supposed to be rear view cameras on either sides!

musty hustla

looks like a Hyundai Sonata to me.

Mr. NC

That shield grille continues to GROW

Pretty sure it is Has the same front and rear ends basically

There could be a flip side to this, though, and you could see the 6-speed Auto in the V6 TSX. Why do I say this? Because it's already on the TL and other cars in the lineup, it is going to be on the new Accord V6, and improved MPGs is always a great selling point of course (along with being a requirement in the coming years).

pickler

yes acura is getting rid of the 5 speed. even the civic will be cvt. let's just hope the tsx wont be cvt as well, i actually prefer a v6 honda 5AT to altima v6 cvt. another thing i forgot to mention is the new earth dreams 3.5L engine with 310hp that acura (tsx) will be getting. the current v6 tsx is proven to be underrated on the dyno so i cant imagine how powerful the new tsx will be. damn i wish i had a v6 tsx.

tvac

Holy crap! That would put the TSX into the mid-5 sec 0-60 range. If they couple it with the 6AT that would really be something.

spdandpwr

^id come back to tsx land if that happened, lol

^ shut up you switch sider lol jk ill make the jump to if im not into something else by then

So will the new US Accord will become the global Accord? The first 2 concept renderings have euro plates while the last picture has US plates.

those taillights look like the hyundai genesis's, lol.

Confirmed: The new Accord will be global, say hello to the 3rd Gen TSX/Euro Accord.

"Honda also has reunified the Accord platform for all markets; no longer does the United States get its own version."

http://www.autonews.com/apps/pbcs.dl...lesale-changes

spdandpwr

if the new accord will be global, then why will the 3rd gen tsx use this platform? also, the power figures seem to have gone down from last year and there isn't that significant of a mileage increase...earth dreams is turning to be somewhat of a disappointment in terms of meeting expectations.

mrstak

iTrader: (1)

will the 2013 accord's have the ED engines? i expected better mileage if so...

and yes the hybrid looks like the concept C that i posted earlier. i'm intrigued...i definitely like this design more than the current 8th G Accord sedan.
