Default Hey! The New Acura TSX (Touring Sport Prototype)

This car will be available around the first week of April in the following colors:
The car is the ish
much to Acura for bringing this to us
TSX Colors

Nighthawk Black / Ebony or Parchment
Artic Blue /Ebony
Carbon Grey/ Quartz or Ebony
satin Silver/ Qtz
Premium White/Parchment

We have had the opportunity to view a prototype at David McDavid Acura in Plano, TX right now. I have seen this car in person and it is awesome.
Completely different from the RSX, this car has had numerous standard features and has had a nicely redone fascia.

You should definitely come check one out if you get a chance. For now, it can only be viewed, not available to test drive.












And me next to the Touring Sport:


Questions?
Direct them to: Milton Hibbler, 469-360-2244, mhibbler@mcdavid.com

I hope it looks better in person. I don't like it. Looks a lot like the new Accord. Just my opinion. Any specs on it? Horsepower, etc.

well i know it's stock as far as the ride height goes, and the wheel gap doesn't even look that terrible. what i was referring to would be the front end parked shot of the blue one...the front part of the bumper looks so high off the ground

Actually, it's the replacement for the 4 door Integra. The CL and TL are the accord based platforms.

I'm guessing it's the RSX Type S motor.

it's a 2.4L...so that rules the rsx motor out unless they bore/stroked it (but then it's still only at 200hp...so not probable).


looks great with that kit on it....takes care of the high riding front end look i was talking about.

It's supposed to be the replacement for the 4 door Integra that once was. I think it looks good.
