The Acura TSX Sport Wagon comes close to checking off a lot of boxes, but it's got too much chrome and not enough V6 AWD. CarGuyDad sees potential in the platform and even rendered his own version. Whaddya think? More »

Here are the first live photos of the 2011 Acura TSX, which has shed some of its "controversial" Bucky the Beaver styling in favor of a slightly more subdued snout. Other than the nose job, it's still just newish. More »

The 2010 Acura TSX will get the same 280 HP 3.5-Liter V6 found in the Acura TL, curing the biggest problem we have with the 2009 TSX. More »

Honda has been talking up plans to add a diesel to its US lineup, starting with an unnamed 2009 Acura model assumed to be the TSX. Turns out Honda neglected to cover all its bases: The new engine reportedly passes emissions when equipped with a manual transmission but not when an automatic is bolted up. Acura wisely decided the U.S. business case for a diesel TSX sans slushbox was problematic, resulting in the temporary cancellation of the program. Will we ever see it? Ward's reports a source simply saying "The (diesel in the) Acura has been canceled.” [Ward's via Temple of VTEC] More »

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.

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. More »

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. More »

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 »

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.

The Acura RL never found much love in the mainstream luxury market, due partially to the lack of a V8 and FWD/AWD setup. Though the car offers a lot of technology and good power, it's not something often mentioned in the same breath as the competitive offerings from Lexus or Mercedes. We've heard some rumors that this new model will debut at the Chicago Auto Show and carry the newly designed diesel engine. Someone also intercepted a communiqué from Acura about the new RL (and updates to the TSX), which is below the jump. More »

Enterprising young whipper-snapper of spy photos Chris Doane happened to snap up some shots of the next-generation 2009 Acura TSX right outside of Honda's US facilities. The new TSX is expected to take on a more "aggressive look" that will, we're sure, not include the duct tape on this test vehicle, but will probably take design cues from the SPORTS 4 concept car Honda's luxe brand showed at the 2005 Tokyo Auto Show. We're told we should expect to see a base model with a 2.4L i-VTEC 4 cylinder engine under the bonnet and a Type-S model with the same 240 HP turbocharged motor found under the hood of the Acura RDX — only in the TSX, it'd get a bit of a boost up to 260 horses.

HoMoCo reported earlier today it's recalling around 165,000 vehicles including 2005 models of the Acura TL, TSX and RL sedans (pictured above, probably stalled), 2005 Honda Accord coupes, sedans and hybrids, 2005 Odyssey minivans and 2006 Ridgeline trucks. Apparently it's part of a globe-wide recall due to sealer material leaking onto a coil wire inside the fuel pump relay on some of the vehicles that can cause it to become brittle and snap — and that could cause the engine to stall or fail to start. Honda's received "multiple complaints" but no injuries or crashes have been reported due to the "leakiness" of sealer material. If you've got one of the above models, head over to your dealer for your replacement fuel pump. Tell them Jalopnik sent you and I'm fairly certain they'll give it to you free — we pulled some strings. – Ray Wert More »

Sure, it looks like a current Honda Accord, decked out with the Auto Zone bra option. But Ben Stewart from Popular Mechanics says it's hardly that. By his estimations, this Honda, caught in Los Angeles, is a test mule for the 2009 Acura TSX. The next-gen TSX will likely get the same turbocharged four as Acura's current RDX crossover, along with standard AWD and a new look to match Honda's Sports 4 concept it introduced in Tokyo back in '05 (gallery below). – Mike Spinelli More »

We received this link from a tipster, and this image is all we've got to go on. And of course, we speak no Japanese other than what can be found on the menu at your average sushi joint. But if this is indeed the new Accord, is it the American-market model, or the smaller version sold elsewhere that we know as the Acura TSX? Anybody? More »

The well-received, but slow-selling RSX hasn't hasn't been the Integra-size hit that Acura was hoping for. Plus, they see that the compact is muddling their brand image and competing with well-equipped Civics. So it's off to the boneyard for the little front-drive sportster, which was probably the closest thing to CRX we've seen since, well, the CRX itself. Meanwhile, look for a possible coupe version of the TSX as a replacement in the lineup, albeit at a higher price-point. More »

Acura unveiled a new TSX concept in full-blown A-SPEC performance and cosmetic dress, along with an updated 2006 RSX A-SPEC Concept. Outwardly, it's all about the body kit, with kevlar dams, fender flares shrouding 19-inch Pirellis and a carbon-Kevlar rear spoiler. Brembo stoppers and custom exhaust add commensurate performance heightening. On the inside, Recaros upholstered in leather and suede dominate, highlighted by carbon-kevlar panels and other fancy-looking doo-dads. (Click through for more pics, alongside the updated RSX A-SPEC Concept first shown in 2001.) More »
