Would you want to spend $52,000 in the abstract on a car that looks like this? Well guess what, thousands of cars on the road are looking like this. Why? Because were copying the concept style.
This is why we have to change the automobile buying experience by asking customers how they like the exterior. How they like the interior. What types of designs do they like. What colors do they like? It's like designing your own home interior going over a floor plan.
The Current TSX is kind of a disappointment for me. It got too heavy, they added a V6 with only an auto, and the wagon is only available with the 4 cylinder and auto. They should have made a Type S with the RDX 's turbo 4 and stick available.
@BaronvonRichthofen i hope your joking. Its on the same platform and has the same headlights. The only REAL difference is the A for Acura instead of the H for Honda. Its the same car.
@klassik18 Acura is longer, doesn't look like a tampon on wheels, and doesn't drive like the engine is made out of cheese, especially not the V-6 model. Also has a different body style, interior layout and stick shifter. You could mention that it's the European Honda Accord (same model.. American Honda is bigger cuz American's like things big) but not the Civic. Don't talk to me about Rice Racers either, those types of ppl don't come into consideration here.
@BaronvonRichthofen Ricer Racers are stupid, and an Acura TSX is not a ricer (however a stupid guy could make it one), The interior is nicer on the Acura, but thats cuz it cost $30,000, while a civic costs $18,000. For the extra $12,000, you could save it and buy something that is its own car like a BMW or a Mercedes-Benz. Honda laughs all the way to the bank with Acura, and people need to stop letting them.
@klassik18 The TSX V-6 has more power than your ever going to get in a Civic unless you customize it, also it's slightly bigger and looks more sleek on the outside (that's what u get for 1200 more). The BMW 3 series isn't in the TSX's range, that's more TL territory so don't bring them into a TSX vid. Versus VW (TSX main competitor) it does a fantastic job and gives you what you paid for. Japan knows how to give u deals I could rape an R8 with a GTR for half the price, German Engineering my ass.
@BaronvonRichthofen The BMW 128 kicks the shit out of the The Euro Accord...I mean TSX. Given what you pay for you are getting a Flash Gordon civic, its a horrible deal. The new Buick is better than the TSX if you are looking in terms of value. The feel of the German BMW is better, the quality is better, and the warranty is better. I still have 2 years left on my 335xi's bumper to bumper everything covered warranty. Who still uses Single Overhead Cams? Oh that's right.....
@klassik18 I've got nothing against German cars, owning an A5 myself I really love the quality you get from their machines. However.. many cars costing half as much have more features than the 1-series. Also higher horsepower BMW = higher insurance being a luxury car, you will end up paying more overtime on a 1-series than a TSX. Besides, BMW is known for it's sporty appeal, Honda hasn't made a sporty car since those NSX days so horsepower rly isn't something to consider for those buying Acura.
@klassik18 You paid a lot more than a TSX could ever cost for that 3-series and if you wanted to debate that, I would have to bring in the 2010 Acura TL (in the 3-series class) which looks terrible btw. I'm not arguing that the TSX is better than the 1-series, they aren't even in the same class with the 1-series being more sporty and all. All I'm saying is that the TSX isn't a Civic because of it's size, looks, available options, interior quality, power in the V-6 and yes brand name.
@klassik18 Brand means a lot to some ppl but I'm sure we both know that already. Acura is Honda's luxury division and that accounts for something, even if it isn't their best car by a long shot. It's an entry level luxury vehicle designed for competition with VW, not the 1-series.
and.. i wouldn't buy an American car if my life depended on it.

In the nederlands the Accord euro (this TSX) just has been chosen to be the best car in his segment, so I realy don't understand what you are complaining about.
No Honda does indeed not use the Acura brand in Europa, because back inthe late 80ies and early 90ies they cross-shared 50% of British luxury brand Rover and never feeled need to launch a second luxury brand in Europa.
And euh... As a matter of fact, the US TSX is priced less then the EU Accord, due to $devaluation...
@FrightfulAccountant Sooooo it was badged what it should have been the whole time? So your not paying for a badge? OK, then I got no problem with it. What I do have a problem with is the people that buy Acura's and look at me like they are hardasses because they drive an 'Acura'. It is not anyway prestigious to buy something that tries very hard to be prestigious. Just because you put lipstick on a pig doesn't make it a lady.
@FrightfulAccountant Can you read? I wrote what my problem with the car in plain English. You can claim its a good car for its segment, and that great, but segments of cars are jokes. There are so many segments of cars it could probably qualify for like 3 different ones. If you buy a car based on value for your money, fine. I buy my car for how it drives, and my BMW drives better than an Acura TL or any rebaged Honda that claims prestige. How many different ways do I have to say that?
I owe more on my Nissan Altima then what its worth. My credit is very good since when I purchase my Altima. I am looking into purchasing a new or used acura. Do u think they will be giving me problems when I go to get the car?
I'm a pretty smart "idiot", thank you for calling all of us TSX owners that. You're VERY ignorant!! This car is GORGEOUS! Inside and out!! I have a black one with black leather interior, and with the chrome accents, makes this car even BETTER looking. Fantastic mileage, and a real head turner, too! I will swear to you, I have had MORE POSITIVE comments and compliments on this car, mostly by people I DON'T EVEN KNOW!! I Praise GOD for Blessing me with such a beautiful automobile!
why would they say that the V6 is giving in to america's obsession for huge engines... cars like the v6 accord and camry have been around since before I was born. If you want to see japanese giving in to stupid americans wants take a look at the civic si
I WISH Acura would make a TSX based coupe with the 6 speed. They are losing a bug share because there are STILL many people who want a sportier coupe than a 4 door sedan.
And that god awful grille on this TSX and the TL. Ughhh
@joeyoseppijoe Acura isn't known for being sporty... that's Infiniti, Lexus being the fluffy division. Acura falls somewhere right in between. If you want a sporty car, get an Infiniti g37 coupe
@MrAutodome Yes but the IS/F doesn't even compare to it's price competitors ( M series and RS4). The LFA does have some speed.. but it looks really fucked up, especially that gap in the front. Lexus is mainly for people who like slow comfy cars and talk like Sean Connery.. "I own a Lexxxusss."
Doesn't feel like a measly 200hp engine, trust me. I had this car for a loaner car and it actually felt more then 201. I think its due in part by Acura making it a low torque engine like the 335i.
This guy is a smuck - he likes it compared to the old clean cut suit TSX - give me a break. It's like the older 5 series BMW versus the bangle butt new 5 series - give me the clean understated model anyday!!!!...this guy is a butthead. I'll take it over the uglier TL though.
I really do like this car...I just think it looks too much like the TL...there's nothing really distinc about it other than less power in comparison to the TL
But some of the things I didn't like was just the front. But I DO like how the lights are sharper in a very mean look. Rear lights very nice. Love it. I kind of regret saying that 2009 TSX and TL sucked for a bit, but they're starting to get to me.
Acura should stay FWD, planning to get a 2009 TL or TSX (someone needs to refer which one I should get) soon. Especially in the snow, most of the cars have the rear stuck in the snow.
Lol you're referring a Subaru to an Acura enthusiast. I DO like Subaru besides Acura, but I'm not the type of person for smaller Sedans, sizes like the Acura TL, I personally prefer those types of larger sedans. A good friend let me spin his Subaru, love his muffler.
also, after seeing the entire 2010 Acura line in person, this is the only model I think the new fug ugly Acura Shield Grill doesn't look too bad on; it is on a smaller scale on the TSX and doesn't take over, or shall I say, overpower/take up too much of the front end like it does on the RL, MDX and especially on the new TL and RDX!!
Agree, the Shield on the TL model is too big, and the head light is too small. TL is a good car but the exterior disappoint me a bit. However, TSX looks really good.
I have a 2008 TL, and I've had this car as a loaner car a few times and it is really sporty inside and outside; the handling is absolutely one of the best I've ever experienced and it even handles better than my TL which has a shitty turning radius; the ergonomics and build quality of the interior were top notch and it felt even a little bit more put together than my TL; probably cause TSX is all done in Japan and TL is mostly done in Ohio
@mogul1265 I see plants in my area everywhere, I live in Michigan so we're the motor city but yeah, they're not ALL gone. But it's the people whos buying these cars that are giving away our jobs.
no the european car is an accord. they dont have acura only north american markets do. in japan the car is an accord also. our accord is called the inspire. rebadging is dumb in my opinion. doesnt matter who makes it. just how good the car is.
Its either the Acura tsx the Lexus IF or The Infiniti whatever it is of course the Audi BMW and the Mercedes Benz are better there just too expensive in todays economic shape. And the Japanese Luxury makers i think do a fine job.
acura made a mistake by taken out the rsx type s they need a sports car in their line up and tsx should of never grown bigger another mistake gosh honda should hire me i can make them million hahahahhahah
@higherbrainpattern They seriously do, or at least a new RSX. It's a shame they dropped it after '06. With the new designs Acura is putting out new, a new sport coupe would probably be sick (but also probably start around $25K) since Acura's kinda shifting more into luxury car prices.
@higherbrainpattern FUCK YEAH MAN, i have 1991 teggy with 200,000 and i still redline it sometimes >D so edgy to drive, when i drive another it feels like they will flip, the integra has so little body roll even with stock suspension
I think it looks good, the grill has got to go though! Trash it, hes right, its lacking that edge that the old TSX had! And im with him, I still have my Prelude and wont dump it off but want the comfy luxery ride now!
jkt992, your comment is laughable in the face of the current collapse of the U.S automotive industry.
Why is it that the rest of the world can see that the Japanese and Europeans make better cars than the U.S but you can't? Loyalty is one thing but your comment is just plain wrong.
Don't get me wrong, I like some American cars (used to own a 300C) but to say they are better made than Japanese cars is simply not true.
On build quality alone this Acura would leave most American cars for dead.
If you were to read my most recent comments you would clearly see that I was kidding about the whole 'Domestics are better than Japanese' thing. Honda is my favorite car brand. I have owned only Honda's in my life and I don't plan to change that. I hate domestics, adn sometimes I just wish GM and Chrysler would disappear instead of trying to compete because they're wasting time like that.
why do countries in europe likes to combine themselves when they compare to other nation such as Japan? It isn't bad enough to be compared to just German or Italy, but Japan has to be compared the ENTIRE EUROPE?? Countries such as France only makes a few brands of cars... don't fucking glorify Europe as if is is just one country.
Y would would he even compare the TSX to an IS or G37 sedan as a matter of fact. Both those cars have V6 engines with the G making a ridiculous 328HP and both those other cars are RWD. The TSX is a fine car but comparing it to an IS or G is simply insulting to those 2 cars.
Don't be insulted, the G37 has more hp then any car in it's class. That doesn't make it the best, it just makes it the fastest. As for the IS, for the same price you would pay to buy the TSX you would get the IS 250 that has the same hp as the TSX. For those people that need to have the fastest thing they can drive for the money they have, then yeah the G37 is the way to go.
You don't get the point. The TSX will give you the most for the money. G and Lexus is way more expensive. I own a tsx 09 for $30k and I try the IS but too much money.
in australia that same car is called the honda accord euro with the only difference being the grill, which is much nicer here and its also not considered a luxury car, cause acura doesnt exist here
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Acura, you really leave me hanging until I see the ulgy facelift. Even though the TSX has been out for months now, I still cannot get used to the ugly grill and headlights that tell people "oh, I am tired." Gee, how come Acura is going downhill on stylings these days?
hello immortal4942, I have tried to changed grills on my now older Mazda 3 and Integra, the grill sometimes dont fit very well, do you have recommendation which aftermarket grill to use? Thanks.
Buy an Aveo then you socialist butthead ....its government owned now - so youre ready to roll...I heard it comes with a free bottle of vodka with every purchase.
My wish for this car is a wagon version with SH-AWD anf the RDX's turbo four under the hood, that combo in wagon or sedan would make a statement. Drove a 2005 and I like the smaller size or the prev generation but the newest model is still an appealing package....the TL looks awkward in comparison.
the new grill is hideous. the euro accords grill options are totally better looking.

From someone who actually owns this car
Couple of things I don't like
1. can't see the navi screen when the sun is shining directly from the rear.
2. Engine ping (knock sensors need to be replaced)
3. passenger seats squeeks loudly for some reason
4. Rear speakers will blow up sooner or later, it is a serious issue with this car
5. Break pads fade out in under 20K miles!!!!!!! Buy aftermarket break pads
other than that, a pretty reliable and good bang for the buck luxury entry car.

The DTS Surround sound system is pretty solid... I enjoyed my drive even in heavy rush hour traffic . It went like a breeze

ya fuel efficient alternative to the G37 because it's got a measly 200hp engine.
kenmastersmaster 1 year ago
Doesn't feel like a measly 200hp engine, trust me. I had this car for a loaner car and it actually felt more then 201. I think its due in part by Acura making it a low torque engine like the 335i.

This guy is a smuck - he likes it compared to the old clean cut suit TSX - give me a break. It's like the older 5 series BMW versus the bangle butt new 5 series - give me the clean understated model anyday!!!!...this guy is a butthead. I'll take it over the uglier TL though.

Indeed great car.
But some of the things I didn't like was just the front. But I DO like how the lights are sharper in a very mean look. Rear lights very nice. Love it. I kind of regret saying that 2009 TSX and TL sucked for a bit, but they're starting to get to me.
Acura should stay FWD, planning to get a 2009 TL or TSX (someone needs to refer which one I should get) soon. Especially in the snow, most of the cars have the rear stuck in the snow.

Lol you're referring a Subaru to an Acura enthusiast. I DO like Subaru besides Acura, but I'm not the type of person for smaller Sedans, sizes like the Acura TL, I personally prefer those types of larger sedans. A good friend let me spin his Subaru, love his muffler.

2010 Acura TSX w/ technology package :DDD
KonkaniAmche 2 years ago 3
also, after seeing the entire 2010 Acura line in person, this is the only model I think the new fug ugly Acura Shield Grill doesn't look too bad on; it is on a smaller scale on the TSX and doesn't take over, or shall I say, overpower/take up too much of the front end like it does on the RL, MDX and especially on the new TL and RDX!!
gfedtyhfs 2 years ago 3
Agree, the Shield on the TL model is too big, and the head light is too small. TL is a good car but the exterior disappoint me a bit. However, TSX looks really good.
KevinKishimoto 2 years ago 2
I have a 2008 TL, and I've had this car as a loaner car a few times and it is really sporty inside and outside; the handling is absolutely one of the best I've ever experienced and it even handles better than my TL which has a shitty turning radius; the ergonomics and build quality of the interior were top notch and it felt even a little bit more put together than my TL; probably cause TSX is all done in Japan and TL is mostly done in Ohio

@higherbrainpattern They seriously do, or at least a new RSX. It's a shame they dropped it after '06. With the new designs Acura is putting out new, a new sport coupe would probably be sick (but also probably start around $25K) since Acura's kinda shifting more into luxury car prices.

jkt992, your comment is laughable in the face of the current collapse of the U.S automotive industry.
Why is it that the rest of the world can see that the Japanese and Europeans make better cars than the U.S but you can't? Loyalty is one thing but your comment is just plain wrong.
Don't get me wrong, I like some American cars (used to own a 300C) but to say they are better made than Japanese cars is simply not true.
On build quality alone this Acura would leave most American cars for dead.

If you were to read my most recent comments you would clearly see that I was kidding about the whole 'Domestics are better than Japanese' thing. Honda is my favorite car brand. I have owned only Honda's in my life and I don't plan to change that. I hate domestics, adn sometimes I just wish GM and Chrysler would disappear instead of trying to compete because they're wasting time like that.

why do countries in europe likes to combine themselves when they compare to other nation such as Japan?

Y would would he even compare the TSX to an IS or G37 sedan as a matter of fact. Both those cars have V6 engines with the G making a ridiculous 328HP and both those other cars are RWD. The TSX is a fine car but comparing it to an IS or G is simply insulting to those 2 cars.
eemiri 2 years ago
Don't be insulted, the G37 has more hp then any car in it's class. That doesn't make it the best, it just makes it the fastest. As for the IS, for the same price you would pay to buy the TSX you would get the IS 250 that has the same hp as the TSX. For those people that need to have the fastest thing they can drive for the money they have, then yeah the G37 is the way to go.
ripper3200 2 years ago 2
You don't get the point. The TSX will give you the most for the money. G and Lexus is way more expensive. I own a tsx 09 for $30k and I try the IS but too much money.

Acura, you really leave me hanging until I see the ulgy facelift. Even though the TSX has been out for months now, I still cannot get used to the ugly grill and headlights that tell people "oh, I am tired." Gee, how come Acura is going downhill on stylings these days?

i have for 2009 acuras like for the TL. you need one for integra? you can use mesh grilles, they should work well.
immortal4942 2 years ago
He's right that it's a really good car, but perhaps the 2.3L turbo would've been a better entry engine for its price point.
I'd still like to see them get the 2010 3.5L model fitted with SH-AWD like the new TL for a performance sedan with serious merits.
