The 2010 Acura TSX V6 is really an American car. It's so American that it works better with a 3.5-liter V6 engine than it does with its 2.4-liter inline-4, which is kind of a surprise for a car that comes from Honda by way of its premium car division.

Yet the addition of the V6 seems to make a huge difference in the TSX, a makeover both mechanical and conceptual for this sport sedan, which has seemed kind of underwhelming since the 2009 Acura TSX with its inline-4 engine first came to us late last year.

No Japanese company has worked as hard as Honda to make itself over as an American outfit. Honda has lots of assembly factories in the U.S. just like every other Japanese-label company, but a huge part of the company's engineering brain trust is here as well. You'll find most of it in Ohio, which Soichiro Honda himself picked as the site of his American industrial base because of the profound respect he had for the quality of the American machine tools he bought from the region for his little motorcycle company during the 1950s.

So maybe it's no surprise that the 2010 Acura TSX V6 is the most American of the cars from Honda.

I like this car, The only thing its missing is a 6spd manual.

@Disishalloween Like having turbo is bad thing

@adogg619 Does not work like that, ask an owner of a tsx. They will agree with me.

@Mario4Italy

Okay from a roll, it would be real close.

[Mario4Italy]

I test drove the 4 and 6 cylinder TSX. While the 6 cylinder is not quite as "elegant", I still went with the V-6. God, I love my car!
