Hey Looks really neat, is it the new TSX proto?

I was hoping it was the long awaited return of the CL..or maybe RSX?

Finally Acura brings back a Coupe for their line-up.

Behind on Acura news? An all new (bigger) TSX came out spring of 08 as an 09. That same body style is now getting the 3.5L V6 for the 2010 MY.

I got that email too. It looks nice, and im thinking its a crossover too.
Only thing I was thinking when I went on the website to see the pics in I wonder what hideous grill is lurking behind the shadows..

It's the same car!!! Nothing NEW!

What it is new, I believe it's the new CUV that'll be announce next month....

But, that's not TSX... Acura has already announced 2010 TSX with V6...

I always wondered why they didn't make a TL in 4 cylinder. I would have been all over that.

Anyway, I can't really make out what the car looks like, but it does look sleek. The butt lines look more narrow than the front!

guys! i never said i don't believe ya~
the 2nd gen TSX did increase in size, so it was enough for acura to put in a V6 engine.

but imo, why a vehicle (TSX) which never did had or have a V6 engine starting to have one for 2010 model? am i going to see a civic with v6 engine in the future too?

i'm not here to argue guys.

Acura just needs to focus on a improved version of the TL. I don't think the current 4G should've been built. They should've got our 3G TL and fixed all the problems with the car and made it "look better" and with a stronger engine and with a option for a V8 model.

Our 3G Acura TL RWD or AWD choice with a V8 going 340-380HP or the updated V6 with the 290HP using Honda's fuel system (current Honda Accord V6 negating cylinders on highway) with better suspension, Aspec full package comes standard on every car along with Acura's navigation and making the sides and front look more "agressive" V8 has a choice of 7speed Auto or 5/6MT and V6 has standard 6AT or 5MT - fix some of the problem with wind noise and fix the cheap leather viola you have a beast of a car

I got the e-mail too. Heck, if only the 4G TL looked that good-right off the bat.
