2009 Acura TSX, Reviewed

As I said in my TSX-tease at midnight the other night, the four words I'd use to describe the new 2009 Acura TSX, would be "competent yet remarkably boring." But let's be clear, that's not to say the new TSX is bad — it's just, you know, not the best foot forward for the Acura brand. But there's a bit of a problem as the TSX is, and always has been, the entrée to Honda's luxe brand — a means to move buyers from those high-volume Accords to lesser-volumed, but higher profit Acuras.

Latest by n/a: Does anyone know where the 2009 TSX is being made (US, Canada or Japan)? I just bought a 2004 for my daughter and its an awesome car. This is my third Acura purchase (first was a brand-new 1987 Legend 4dr more »

2009 Acura TSX

You already saw the official live reveal of the new 2009 TSX, and as I told you earlier, there'd be more coming tonight. The "more" is I've already had the chance to drive the 2009 Acura TSX, but we'll get to that tomorrow at our regularly scheduled noon review time. First, let's take a moment to talk about the whole business of writing an entertaining review about a car. A vehicle on the extremes of terrible and amazing is much easier to write about than reviewing a car sitting smack-dab in the squishy vanilla middle between dull and duller. Given the adjectives available for both ends of the spectrum are so much more appealing, it's no wonder this is the case — think epic, brilliant, orgasmic and their diametric opposites of appalling, disgusting and vomit-inducing. When emotion drives your verbiage it usually means you've driven either an amazing car or a complete pile of horse excrement. When it's none of the above, it's hard to get the same level of excitingly quotable quotes. Which brings me to the subject at hand — the 2009 Acura TSX.

Latest by Sarcasmic: @ca-usa: I think most Honda/Acura owners would say the same thing about why they like their cars. They're comfortable and they're predictable. They're the vehicular equivalent of sensible shoes - not much to look at, not too sporty or exciting, more »

2009 Acura TSX, Officially Revealed!

We first showed you the teaser shot a few weeks back, then the press release accidentally went live a short time later. But now here it is in the flesh for all you Honda-headed fan boys — the all-new 2009 Acura TSX — powerful double plenum grille (same as that found on the new 2009 Acura RL) and all. The new TSeXiness is supposedly "more agile and more powerful than ever before" and that seems to be the case given the DOHC i-VTEC in-line 4-cylinder producing 201 HP and 172 lb-ft of torque with the manny tranny. Get the rest of the deets below and remember to head back here later tonight when we're expecting to have some more TSX news. Unfortunately said news is not an S-type. But we can't have everything can we? Well, yet anyway.

2009 Acura TSX Press Release Accidentally Hits Internet Before New York Auto Show Unveil

The rapscallion readers at VWVortex have let slip all the deets on the Acura's new "hotness" — the 2009 TSX. You've already seen one teaser shot along with a teaser release, but now here's the whole shebang. We'll have to wait for sometime later on (when Wert's able to run the story on his first-drive he just finished up out West) to get the full spiel on the new pre-entry level luxury sports sedan from Honda's luxe badge. The full press release follows the jump. More »

2009 Acura TSX Revealed, To Debut At New York Auto Show

Rather than deal with the usual issues of a long-lead press drive engendering spy shot after spy shot of the new 2009 Acura TSX, the boys and girls from Honda's luxe brand have decided to just drop a single shot of the new TSX out the day before the press drive begins. The shot shows off basically everything you need to know about the exterior of the new TSX, giving you a real taste of that new double-plenum power grille (just like its big brother, the 2009 Acura RL, revealed in Chicago last week). In addition they've also announced we'll be seeing a performance version of the new TL sometime later this year. But for the moment, here's the deal — the new Acura TSX is coming to the New York Auto Show, and we'd like to say more, but you'll have to wait until the embargo's up on our fearless leader getting behind the wheel this week out West — and whether the new TSX will be powered by Honda's new i-DTEC clean diesel powerplant. Full press release below the jump and a larger shot of the one above in the gallery below.

Latest by n/a: Another cookie-cutter design. When did the auto designers go on strike? It's bad enough that the New Camry that came out about 3 years ago looked disturbingly similar to my 2003 Mazda6. can't anyone cone up with something a little more »

2009 Acura TSX Caught Outside Honda HQ

Thanks to a sharp-eyed Temple of VTEC reader, these new shots are the clearest yet of the 2009 Acura TSX. From what we've seen of the Euro Accord, which shares the platform with the TSX, this looks about right. Let's hope the rumors of a 2.3L making 260hp are true. The forum member just happens to live near the Honda HQ and managed to snap the TSX as it made rounds around the facility.

So that rumor we'd heard about Acura getting a diesel engine in a 2009 model? Automotive News is reporting that model will be the 2009 Acura TSX. Diesel FTW!
