Yeah, I caught that too in the article, lol! Just goes to show how fallacious that article is.
Naturally, none of you guys believe this to be true, right?

Image found from Dieselstation...here's the TSX shown in Shanghai. Looks way better than the NA version IMO...

Even the mesh in the grille looks way better. I really don't like the mesh we got on the NA TSX.

I like it so much more. Although, there were some other images of the rear and the taillight pattern is a little goofy with a little too much white in it. They are LEDs though, as far as I can tell.

Sadly all of Honda/Acura overseas products look better than the NA versions.

the guillotine looks just like the civic's. it doesn't look any better (or worse) to me. but the mesh looks better.

and i like the wheels and fog lights better too.

True.....but Ford now gets it...and is bringing the Euro designs stateside.

Honda on the other hand is still stubborn....and gives NA "the beak"

That does look a lot better, not the best, but definitely much better than what we have here.

So the differences are the grille and wheels and foglights. Big whoop.

Too little changes. If true, it is likely a mid-model-cycle release candidate.

It's true. Though most TSX do look better with mods anyway.

And that car does have the optional bodykit and wheels, which ultimately makes it look different than regular TSXs. All of this does little to confirm the known fact that the TSX do look way better with mods.

So everyone is drooling over a photoshop picture of a car? I guess I don't get it.

It'll come... you just have to wait for it... Acura fucks this up all the time... They must have found that they get enough suckers to buy the automatic that then upgrade to the type S 6spd later... That's the only reason I can see...

<--- owns an acura v6 6spd

on TOV in a discussion under monthly Honda/Acura sales
"what happened to the TSX" they mentioned that a loaded V6 TSX with Tech will cost $38,000 That's too much for a TSX and is really stepping on the TL's toes.
