TSX Wagon Kyboshed???
Boyz and girls, I'm hearing that the wagon now won't be making it over here in North America. I'm just floating it out there for now. As always, until it's officially announced by head office, take the rumour for what it is - a rumour...although apparently came out of a dealer meeting last week.
Question is...are you pissed or are you fine with this, if the rumor is true. Personally, I was opposed to this "Sport Wagon" coming over without SH-AWD or a V6.

There has been no word that the wagon has been canned for North America... 
It made an appearance at the NY Auto Show recently.
Head over to Automotive News sub-forum and do a search on it for the latest!

The talk about this being kyboshed just came to fruition within the last week...the NY Auto Show was what, 7 weeks ago? Yes, it's still on the "Future Vehicles" section on the website - agreed, but this won't change until officially announced anyways. Give it time guys...my sources are strong like the force!

You may have a point here Craig, the manager at my local dealer figures he may be able to sell one of those per month.
They may not bring it into Canada since the volume will be less than 300 a year, an expensive model to bring in all the way from the Land of the Rising Sun.

I find it very hard to believe Acura would take the time to bring the car to a major auotshow, update their website, send out thousands of marketing materials, then cancel the car in the next few weeks.

I4 means Inline 4 cylinder engine, V4 means V-shaped 4 cylinder engine.
V4 is more commonly found on motorcycles as well as outboard motors. Ford and Lancia used to have them in some of their cars back in the 60's and 70's.

If I remember correctly, I think Honda (or someone) also made/makes a V5 as well (may not be a "true V5" configuration) for motorcycles.

My old Saab had a Ford V-4. Not the one used by Ford in it's cars but, so I was told, one used in tractors.

I'll be pissed if this is true (which I doubt). The wagon was on my list for replacement vehicles....

On topic: acura.com does in fact list the wagon as a future vehicle "2011 sport wagon"

Off topic: Honda never did any V5 production. They have a long heritage of V4 bikes (interceptor etc.). It was rumored the new VFR1200 would have a V5 but it was released with a V4.

No V5 from Volvo as far as I know, they do a T5 which is an inline.
VW and Audi also had a V5 sort of. Technically it was a VR5 similar to the VW VR6. These VR engines differ from a true V engine as there isn't 2 seperate banks of cylinders, they are all staggered in one bank. If my memory is correct it's only a 15 degree V so it's more of a staggered I5 than a true V5.

Makes sense if it's true. After all, it is the one vehicle after many years that enthusiasts actually think looks good. Can't have that in the Acura lineup now can we.

Id be ticked if this was canned. Im RIGHT in its demo and really could use this thing to haul the kiddies and a fleet of bicycles around in style. I have no use for a CUV and would rather go the wagon route.
On a side note....is Acura going to provide good trailer hitch and bike rack options for this thing or will they assume their "upscale" clientele is just going to haul those cute brown suitcases they show as cargo on the Acura website?

Too back for us Canucks, I think if they put the iDTEC diesel engine in it, they can give the Jetta wagon a run for their money. VW sells close to half of the Golf and Jetta w/ TDI in Canada than their gas counterpart.

I loved my RSX. That car holds a special place in my heart. What's interesting is that design still looks current today when I see them on the road. Not dated at all.
