set to record, thanks

PBS' "MotorWeek" features TSX - airing today (Saturday) in my area. This may be same as SpeedWeek review.

It still looks like a fat, overweight camry but will try to watch.

"Acura has held the line on pricing for the new TSX. The MSRP starts at $28,860, with your choice of transmissions."

It looks like the price will stay the same as the current TSX pricing.

JeffS

Good catch on the price.

That's an increase of $670 over the 2008. I was thinking the price difference would be greater. The Tech price of $3,500 will be the killer.

Colin

I'm thinking thats going to be plus 715 destination, but it's not clear.

You can watch it here now...

I have already asked on the other thread, but is the color of the TSX in the video Grigio Metalic?

I wish the reviews would do more to compare the feel of the car with the first gen so that we can get a sense of how it's different. I haven't seen much made of the handling. Is it better, worse, unchanged? Does the extra torque make the car seem faster?

Colin

Who knows, they didn't state the color in the video and few people have seen the car in person to compare. We might get ours today or tomorrow so I might be able to guess but it's always hard to tell from video.

Having seen a couple of videos now I think the styling is starting to grow on me a little. I'm very curious about handling, how the extra torque translates to pulling away from a stop light, and how the new dampers feel.

Initially the front grille bothered me,but now I really like the car.
My wifes next car is now going to be the TSX!

JeffS

I would have to agree. Seeing it in motion and in person at the auto show helped, although I am still not a fan of the grill though.

Maybe the grill will be restyled for the MMC?

jlukja

That could work for you. I don't like the fender flares so there is no hope for me. Never thought I'd miss the 06-08 wheels

dom

lol...

Just when you thought things couldn't get any worse in the wheel department.....

Colin

Funny thing is that I have no problem with the wheels. My first requirement for wheels is that they are round, second requirement is that they hold tires, and finally (and most important) they need to be easy to clean.

dom

The wheels suck.

/end debate.

Their tacky and look far too small for the car.

TS_eXpeed

I thought it was going to be a thorough, in-depth review spanning the whole 30-minute time frame.



I was sure disappointed.

xenonhid

You are too easy to please Colin, hahahaa J/K


BTW, I saw tons of 07 MDX Taxi Cabs in Waikiki. They must have struck deal with your dealership no?

prballard

I tend to agree. I just picked up 18" wheels from an 08 Accord Coupe

http://www.driveaccord.net/forums/at...1&d=1191883025

They may go on a 09 TSX, my 04, or yet another future Acura.

dom

Interesting. I'd throw them on the 04 just to see how they look. And take some pics.

prballard

The rubber for those wheels wll be quite expensive. I only have about 10K on my tires. These wheels will be future project no matter which Acura they end up on.

dom

Ah, thought you had em with the rubber.

At first glance I think they may suit an 09 better.
