Your friend might be yanking your chain giving you some fake "inside information." These pictures of the TSX were available on www.vtec.net last month.

It does look like a Saturn... That grille is The Saturn Vue use to have a Honda engine in it til this year I believe. So I guess in return they let Saturn or the dumb folks at GM make the grille for the Acura line. WTF, The RL now the TSX..Please dont let them mess up the TL.. It better be over 300hp anyway, why would they put something out new that the old G35 would smoke at the drop of a dime. Get it together Honda. And whoever designed the inside of the RL should have designed the outside. Clearly to different groups cause the inside is beautiful, luxury, 50k car... The outside 19k car from Kia.. just my

PeteThaPitbull

i wouldnt be surprised if they make a new TL coupe 2 door with 340+HP RWD and keep a base 4 door TL sedan (same as the infiniti g35 sedan and coupe)..after all Honda has the S2000 and 2 door accord..

ballerjai

Why would the TL be hitting over 330+ hp when the 2009 RL is only going to hit 300hp.

PeteThaPitbull

there was talk about them discontinuing the RL, while the TL is there best seller..considering what the RL looks like now sales are without a doubt going to be lower. if acura doesnt produce something with more power to compete with bmw, infiniti, audi, and nissian..there going to be at a biggg loss and i dont (atleast hope) acura would be that stupid. lets face it, even hyundai is puttin out more then acura is - and its about time for acura to step there game up and hit everyone with something unexpected that no one has imagined..something with more power, technology, and class..i think that the TL will become there primary top car and take over the RL's position

ballerjai

Yeah, I agree PetethaPitbull, the RL is way to overprices compared to it's competitors. My suggestion to acura would be, why not boost the RL higher and boost the TL also. I personally think the RL is a great car, I wouldn't want them to discontinue it. Yuck Hyundai's, what a honda bite off.

PeteThaPitbull

yea idk im just guessing, who knows maybe they may intoduce a different car altogether like bmw did with the 1 series, audi with the a5/s5, infiniti with the fx/ex etc...im guess we will have to wait and see

leedogg

There are plenty of pics of the new TSX...just go to the TSX forums...

^^^ that looks nuthin close to a Saturn lol...thats a pretty nice upgrade from the current TSX


Im thinkin thats what they r going to do seeing as though they are so under wraps...ive been praying to the car gods for a winner

dr_brains510

is it just me or does the rear of the TSX shown above look like the rear of the current MDX?

rksokol

No, it's not just you. I'm thinking that arrowhead light housings will be an upcoming Acura "trademark" in design. I wouldn't be surprised to see it on the 4G TL as well.

Notice how the Euro Accord/TSX has the monkey mouth grille as well...

6SpdTerror

That TSX is gorgeous! Its probably an a-spec concept. The grill is different from the new style rl/tsx grille too.
If the TL look similar and has more power with awd....i think we may have a winner.

TL1999

LOL...Thats hot....

Aman

For some reason, the rear of the TSX reminds me of an old Avalon.

ACCURATEin

They better have the TL at the NY auto show or else i'm going to explode! I want to see pics pics pics!

DejaVu85

yea...who knows...i guess the only way to find out if its true or not is to wait and see if the new TL actually has AWD and 313HP

ballerjai

Isn't there supposedly a new NSX coming out with a v10?

ecliptics

yeah i heard that its not comming out until 2010 though. theres videos of the nsx engine put in a longbody s2k. sounds goood.. v10 nsx might tell us that they'll bump rl to v8 maybe now that the tl-s engine is gona be 3.7

ecliptics

thats the first time i've seen the pics of a new tsx.. i think it looks pretty sick

March 21st, we should have pics, maybe a day earlier. If this car has a stickshift option with AWD, and a 3.7 liter engine, I know ima get it when it comes out.

^Me too.

PSURob12

Is it going to sticker for what the current gen TL's do? I am considering an 08 TL-S, and this is at the ceiling of my price range, so if it is more expensive I doubt I will be willing to raise my ceiling for it.

Unless of course it just looks that good.

dragonlord

UUUMMMM- you can guess the price WILL NOT be the same. More technology =more $$$

04TLDragao

It will definitely be at a higher price point. Especially with AWD. There may be a base model (non AWD) but I would think it too is going to be priced higher or equal to an 08 Type S.

I say go for the 08 Type S you won't regret it one bit.

6SpdTerror

As of today......march 14th....im the proud new owner of a WDP Type-s 6MT. I traded out of the 05 6MT. I got tired of waiting to see the 09 plus i wouldnt get a car in it's first year anyway. Not to mention i got a great deal!

as2222

If the TSX looks like that, for sure i am trading in my TL... that looks SIIIIIIIK.. with high gas prices .. i was gonna trade in my TL for a TSX soon.. but wow.. i'd definately get that..

Aman

sadly, yes

Hard to tell much of anything from that. I wonder if those quad pipes are functional or simply cosmetic?

JAB00

It kinda reminds me of a G coupe from the back.

OUTATIME

They took some cues from the advanced sedan concept, i think. That's about all u can make out in those pics.

madddog32

that does not look like it could be a TL!! i wish it were a better camera! but im not likin the back looking to much like those shitty lexus is250's

dr_brains510

6SpdTerror

Ikko

^^^What y'all smoking?! Mad 'cause y'all didn't wait?
