I was thinking it would look great as a coupe, but if they loweret the roofline and racked the windshield back it would look a lot like the Accord 2dr. I like the Accord 2 dr, but I was hoping for something more exciting.

I think that the previous poster was lamenting that the previously touted high-HP AWD version of the car is nowhere in evidence.

It was just speculation, and bad at that IMO, that there was going to be a higher HP and AWD version.
I would be surprised if that was EVER on the table.

Re: (mrthreepercent)
Wow, the grill is hideous. Looks like they took a step backwards rather than forwards in consideration to the design and performance of this latest redesign. Was excited of the thought of an AWD TSX, this is disappointing...

Saw the unveiling pics on TOV. Gotta say that the grill doesn't look as bad as originally thought.
Car looks BIG though.

Re: (Ponyboy)
i think when it gets lowerd and gets some work emotions on there it will look great. cuz those stock wheels look like crap. but i love it. seems like there wont be a turbo version which i like because honda is all about n/a.
cant wait to see what mugen and spoon does with this car.

waiting for the perfect fit....
i think the front looks awful...i was very disappointed.
i'm kind of glad i didn't like it though because i definitely can't afford it and i've been looking at buying a tsx. probably going to go with a 2006.

Re: (bilchuuu)
Been considering a TSX... new most likely.
Are the grills interchangable with previous generation TSX? Not that I would go with the OEM, but I'm thinking Mugen... Otherwise be waiting/hoping for a new Mugen Accord grill...

I dont know if anyone has seen this, but it does not look so good for the 09 tsx
http://www.hondanews.com/categ.../4419
Powertrain
An all-aluminum DOHC i-VTEC® in-line 4-cylinder engine heralds a pair of firsts for the TSX model, including dual balance shafts and a direct ignition system. Along with improved performance, it is also cleaner as it now meeting the EPA's aggressive Tier 2-Bin 5 and CARB LEV II Ultra Low Emission Vehicle (ULEV) standards for the first time in TSX history.
Displacing 2.4-liters and producing 201 hp and 172 lb-ft of torque (with manual transmission), the new in-line 4-cylinder engine produces its useable power across a much wider rpm range, while five percent more torque further strengthens the engine's pulling power at middle rpm levels. This allows the 2009 TSX to be more responsive off the line and out of corners, and stronger in the middle of the rpm range where the engine operates most of the time.
This newfound performance and flexibility is due in part to a higher compression ratio, revised valve timing, and improved intake and exhaust gas flow. Further credit goes to the TSX engine's i-VTEC® "intelligent" valve control system, which provides the power characteristics of a V-6 without sacrificing the light weight or fuel efficiency of an in-line four. Likewise, a new rear-mounted exhaust manifold layout, a close-coupled catalytic converter design, and a Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI) system substantially reduce emissions levels. Estimated fuel mileage is 21/30/24 mpg* (city/highway/combined, 5 AT) and 20/28/23 mpg* (city/highway/combined, 6 MT).
Two transmissions are available, both as standard equipment - a 6-speed close-ratio manual with new performance-oriented ratios for Second through Sixth gears, and a Sequential SportShift 5-speed automatic with a new lock-up torque converter assembly. The manual transmission features a short-throw shifter with a precise, light action that makes it highly rewarding

Hmm. The current i-CTDi has 140bhp and 251lb/ft and the new i-DTEC is a worked on version of the
i-CTDi engine... something is amiss with your facts.

Re: 2009 Acura TSX revealed (Ed 341)
here's a few pics i snapped a few days ago:
i also saw a dark gray one parked at the honda plant, the interior looks alot like the new accord, expecially the radio. the guy i talked to said it had a bigger motor, but he really didnt convence me of that fact.
