I can't seem to find any definitive answer as to whether there will be a 2013 tsx. I know for a while we all thought that the tsx was going to be discontinued after the ilx came out, but i dont think that is the case anymore. just wanted to see if anyone here knew for a fact that there will be a 2013 and if so, when will it be coming out?

Mr. NC

*search button*

-2013 will be the same as the 2012
-TL and TSX love child will happen eventually

Anything else I miss off the top of my head?

Acura_Dude

Mr. NC love your avi.

yes. in the fall...like september/october.

Mr. NC

Thank you Acura_Dude, I like to add some flavour to the usual Azine avys haha

beach109

2013 TSX is exactly the same and will be out this fall. Only changes are colors, with Milano Red added to all sedan models, and Taupe interior now called Graystone.

Type-S RPh

Wow, that is a bit of news that probably only I find interesting but if I can get a Milano Red Tech with black leather, that would be sweet!!! Now if they would only offer the Tech with a 6-speed hmmmm....

beach109

Milano Red only comes 2 ways. With the Special Edition black suede interior on the SE, and only with Parchment leather on the base & Tech TSX sedans.

pinatubo

Ah, I've missed that color on my previous Honda Prelude SI.

Type-S RPh

Well that sucks! I guess that makes my decision a lot easier. If I want a black interior, its SE or nothing.

Mr. NC

WOOOOW Milano red won't happen with black interior? SMH HONDA

Craig-D

Rumor has it the 2013 model year is the swan song for both the TSX and TL. The new TLX based on the next-gen Accord platform is rumored to replace both for the 2014 model year. 2014 is when I'll be in the market for a new ride. I'll consider the TLX when the time comes, but if it isn't offered with a manual tranny and navigation, I'm done with the Acura brand as they offer nothing else I'm interested in.

Technik330

^

Would you have any additional info?

Craig-D

Nothing more than what I've already said. I just have rumors I see in the various car magazines I read. The current issue of Motor Trend is the latest to mention the TSX/TL being replaced by the TLX in the Acura section of the 2013 new car issue. If you Google the Honda Concept C, that's rumored to be a preview of what the TLX will look like.

Acura_Dude

^Yeah that is true from what I've been reading. Besides acura can't afford to screw up the 5G TL/3G TSX (TLX). The 4G didn't sell as well as the 3G. Besides the TSX has grown and is comparable to the TL in size.

ILX, TLX, MDX, RLX Notice a pattern? I read about this somewhere but it's been so long ago.

JTRADAR61

Just took delivery of 2012 TSX Tech. Salesman told me there will be a 2013 TSX model. As posted above a few color changes. Right now TSX is out selling ILX. Acura has added incentives to ILX. TL and TSX due to be replaced in 2014. Looks like they will get merged together as one later in 2013. Also Milano Red should only come in ebony IMOP! Hint Acura...

JTRADAR61

In addition to my above post it looks like Acura raised price on tsx special edition 6 sp by 1500.00 and 1300.00 for auto. I guess ILX 'S aren't selling well with TSX around.

Acura_Dude

No surprise there. TSX is a good value.

Lexusconvert?

2013 TSX has the following changes. Milano red replaces basque red, TSX V6 comes tech package only and greystone replaces taupe for interior colors. The TSX SE returns for 2013.

opboarding

So...sales of the V6 will drop since that price is basically a TL.

kixo

So Acura raised the price more on the MT than the AT, even though it is less expensive to manufacture? Way to go, Acura....Your half-assed commitment to manual transmissions means I will probably join Craig-D and many others and look for alternatives to the Acura brand in 2014.

HOLLYHOOD

manual drivers are becoming a dying breed and there reversing roles and charging us more as a premium option which i find to be retarted

Edward1

I am waiting for 2013 TSX wagon to come out..... Oh, ZDX will have some changes, right?

ssjoeboe9

I did a quick wiki reading, and I didn't know Acura was considering doing a Turbo diesel in the TSX line up. It was then decided that the whole "emmisions" issues would drive sales down so they went with V6 instead. I just cant believe we almost could have had a fast car haha.

BobbyC

wasnt it supposed to be basically the same engine as the RDX?
that would have been pretty damn sweet.

as for there being a 2013 tsx..

its gonna be pretty tough once you see the 2013 accord.
its got all the bells and whistles and a fully loaded accord costs about as much as a base tsx.

i cant wait to see what it looks like though.
the new accord is pretty slick with the aero kit.

Love the gauges




you get all that for 33 grand MSRP.


what more could acura add on to that besides some more leather trimming and maybe a better trim design on the inside?


either the cost of the TSX is gonna go up or theyre not gonna change all that much..

either way, it should be a awesome car.

Aruca Xst

Can I take it to the next step and ask who she is exactly!!!!???

spdandpwr

faq!! I would've traded my tsx for this...now I'm stuck with the ilx

robpp

iTrader: (2)

is it really about the same price point?

if so, I agree. plus think of ALL THE AFTERMARKET support the whole honda line gets

Rocket_man

From Acura.com....

TSX Special Edition with 5-Speed Automatic $31,510
TSX Special Edition with 6-Speed Manual $31,510

Looks like the same price to me. Only takes a few seconds to check for yourself.

kixo

Thank you and I stand corrected. I was commenting based on the previous post.

However, if Acura priced according to it cost, manuals would have a lower MSRP and perhaps have higher sales volume.

Nedmundo

The new Accord Sport, in particular, seems to make the TSX redundant, but maybe the TSX still has a dynamic edge. Regardless, I wouldn't be surprised if the 2013 TSX has a short production run.

Rocket_man

You are making an assumption. Years ago when the number of manuals and autos sold were closer then they are today, the manuals were always cheaper. But now manuals are somewhere around 5% of sales. So when 95% of the cars they build are autos the costs may be actually less than the manuals. It would seem from the way Acura prices them that is it not worth making a price distinction. It might actually be more expensive to produce the manual given the limited numbers. But when it comes to a $31K car the cost is probably not a huge delta anyway.

aLittleFavour

just sat in a 2013 fully loaded accord and there isn't one good reason to choose the tsx over the accord at this point. there is so much more tech in the accord... the interior is improved.. the gauge cluster looks better and the seat is a lot more comfortable.

iTrader: (1)

^you're forgetting that when the new TS(X) debuts it will trump the accord....

cudfoo

The Drive - that would be one reason. I'm sure it's nice but it's not going to be the same and it won't be better - just different.
Depends on what you like.

I just got the Wagon\Tech and don't think Honda will be offering that to the US. I prefer the look of the TSX Wagon to the new Accord and I think the interior is a notch above also. Wasn't interested in CVT tranny either - love the 5 speed in the TSX.

Think the target audience is a little different also - they'll sell a ton of them though.

stan_t

Double wishbone in the front is one good reason. TSX being made in Japan is another, though to some it may not be. You got me curious about seats now -- my TSX seats are some of the comfiest, best-adjusting seats I've experienced.

I could honestly not care less about tech features, but I realize I'm in the minority.

Stan

aLittleFavour

Forgive me here but what benefit do you get with the double wishbone compared to whatever the accord currently has? Are there any other differences in performance/suspension with the tsx and say last years 2012 accord?

The lower padding in the 13 accord felt great.

Mr. NC

That Accord Dash cluster is goooorgeous, altho rpm should be central ADUUUUUH.

HVAC dash looks ok.

So for this to be TLX worthy, more chrome/leather lol? I can also see the TLX being made in North America as opposed to the JDM CU2

"Hondalink featuring AHA" LOL #SeeWhatIDidThere?

stan_t

Double wishbone setup is superior to struts. Look at all the luxury cars -- they all have it. It will ride nicer and is also better for handling -- camber stays the same as suspension compresses vs. the strut setup, where camber will go positive.

Stan

Rocket_man

This is the whole point of the TLX, to move production of the TSX to the US and not suffer the exchange rate effects of importing the car. In the end it looks like all Acura production will be in the US including, eventually the RLX.

Not a big fan of chrome. Personnally I don't see it as adding class, especaily on the interior. Just look at the Buick, chrome everywhere and bright sun light refecting in your eyes. Couldn't stand driving that car during a test drive.
