Last year, the all new Acura TSX was introduced, a handsome sedan offering sporty styling, clean lines and a bold look. Now, Honda's upscale brand is following up the TSX's introduction with a second model, this one powered by a lively V6 engine. Whereas the original model appealed more to the person concerned about fuel economy, the new model also offers fuel efficiency combined with raw power.
A powerful 3.5-liter V6 engine, exclusive suspension tuning and larger diameter wheels are some of the important new features for the TSX, to provide a uniform package of refinement and fun to drive exhilaration.
"The automotive market may be slowing down, but not Acura," said Jeff Conrad, vice president of Acura sales. "With improved acceleration and handling, the new 280 horsepower V-6 adds even more sport to the already sporty nature of the popular TSX sports sedan."
Acura says that the new TSX powertrain choice means performance luxury buyers will be able to enjoy a 280 horsepower 3.5L V-6, with sophisticated VTEC(R) valve train control and a dual-stage induction system. To bring about maximum performance and efficiency, the engine will be coupled to Acura's Sequential SportShift automatic transmission, with smart features such as Grade Logic Control and Shift Hold Control. Upon driver demand, the Sequential SportShift transmission can also be operated manually, via steering-wheel mounted F1(R)-style paddle shifters.
Another feature sure to please Acura aficionados is the TSX's cutting edge, double-wishbone front and multi link rear suspension system which have been engineered to provide excellent ride, handling and control. To bring forth sportier handling, the V-6 model will also use exclusive suspension tuning along with 18-inch split five-spoke aluminum wheels, fit with Michelin Pilot all-season tires. The larger wheels and tires will help distinguish this performance- minded TSX from the standard model, as does the slightly revised front fascia and a V-6 badge on the trunk.
On the inside, the new TSX will feature an uncommon level of standard equipment, including leather-appointed interior, power moon roof, automatic climate control, a premium seven-speaker sound system with CD, AM/FM tuner, XM Satellite Radio, Bluetooth HandsFreeLink , USB port and AUX jack music interface and more.
Acura hasn't released pricing information on its top of the line TSX model just yet. Expect that information to be shared just ahead of its Summer 2009 release date.
