Wanna see the new TSX?
Guys,

This e-mail link just came to me from Acura today. I know it's not at TL, but I thought you'd like to see it. Here's the new TSX.

Putting less power in it is basically telling people not to buy it....



Look Familiar.... Acura... please stop while ur ahead

Looks like im takin my money elsewhere after my TL-S : (
It's a sad sad day.... If they dont make a nice TL, theres gonna be problems!

I've seen pictures of the new TSX at my dealer. Don't like it. It's a bad move by acura.

I actually like the redesign. It looks more upscale. Wish the engine received the same upgrade to maybe 220hp or so.
OTOH....the Hyundai Genesis coupe is a sweet looking ride

I definately don't like the new bar on the front grill. It looks like all the new Acura's will get that.

I vaguely remember seeing this in my inbox today, but I deleted it without reading it ...

Personally I am glad I chose a TL .... can't wait to see the 4G TL ...

Guys, if the RL and the TSX are any preview to the 4G TL, I'm thinking the 3G TL's might be a better looking car. The 4G's might have some better, updated perks inside the car's interior, but we might have the better go of it with the look of the 3G's from the outside.

not a fan... underpowered.. I thought it was supposed to have 240 HP and SH-AWD? Maybe that was just the base model. Not liking the looks either; it doesn't look very sleek. If I were a buyer I'd rather get a used TL than that.

not liking that at all, defiantly not the new interior. I liked how it was simple and a touchscreen nav. and the exterior looks like an EXACT copy of the new accord. i know acura is honda, but its gotta look different

I think it is terrible. If they do that to the TL they will kill the best thing they have going.

The interior will be the only thing that sells that car.

Swing and a miss on the RL
Swing and a miss on the TSX
Batter up TL...

That sports concept car that is also under Future cars on the website looks AWESOME (click on photos on the top to see all the pics) I hope they release that for production...and I win the lottery.

They are actually fun as hell to drive, coupled with a 5 speed manual tranny, its a pretty quick car and gets to 100 in no time

There's no reason for me to get the new TSX. Shittier mileage and no hp gains and they want to charge more? Are they crazy?

It's rare that a redesigned car makes people long for the old design. We 3G folks may get lucky.
