5spd not 6
fwd not awd
acura drives like a honda

I really love the look of the car. Its going to bring the wagon back into the market because of its simplicity. This car gets a vote on my wagon journal.

Acura IS a Honda! lol

This IS a Honda. In the EU, this is the Accord.

I don't mind it, but it should be a turbo, should have AWD, and should have a 6mt. I'm jus sayin'.

FWD=FAIL! Otherwise I dig it!!

I'm with everybody. I like the fact that it's a wagon. But the specs are weak. And I still can't get into that big chrome Acura nose. It's just fugly. The rest of the body is decent enough though

**rjpeaks** · 01-20-2011 09:10 AM

my neighbor works from Honda.

he brings home anything he wants. I will see if he can drive one home.

**HPW** · 01-20-2011 11:20 AM

FWD is the deal breaker for me. Supposedly they have been asked, and have responded that they have no plans of giving it SH-AWD.

**sy0296** · 01-20-2011 03:02 PM

my old roommate used to have a turbo tsx and it was a good car. beautiful inside and out, great ergonomics, get gas mileage, good handling, decent MPG. honda got it right with the tsx.

that being said, doesn't make sense not to offer their awd system on this car. it would have really given the 3-series sport wagon and b8 avant a run for their money, but not in fwd form.

**jalas** · 01-22-2011 08:00 PM

This looks pretty damn nice.

**VMRWheels** · 01-24-2011 05:14 PM

Lowered with some nice wheels and this car may look pretty hot. At first I wasn't a fan but the longer I look, the more I like.

That said, I don't think I would ever purchase one for $30k+

That looks good, yes.

But slushbox only + fwd only makes it a pretty half-assed attempt at a sport wagon.

**khj677turbo** · 01-25-2011 02:34 AM

In watching the video I can only laugh at the end when the front wheels are spinning like a bitch and the rears are slowly rotating. Seriously though, why make a "sports car" fwd?? You just dont.

**A4Avant02** · 01-25-2011 08:12 AM

Why not throw Ferrari into the 'wagon' mix with the FF:

who is your neighbor? I work for American Honda in torrance too.

**Arctic4avant** · 02-02-2011 06:22 PM

I like it but the fwd kills it for me. Bummed they're not offering a few different drivetrain options as I would seriously consider as a new DD.

**OB1** · 02-02-2011 08:06 PM

I snapped some pics of it at the DC Auto Show. Didn't look half bad.

***Stubek*** · 02-04-2011 10:49 AM

I drove it two weeks ago and liked it. It does not get too much torque steer accelerating, but it is a bit low on power. Nice drive though, comfortable, corners well. Taking my wife tomorrow to look at that and an A4 Avant to see which she likes better then deciding Sunday which to buy. I have been torn between the TSX and Avant. The TSX is loaded for about $38k, same equipped Avant is about $42-43k
TSX Wagon is limited this year to about 4,000 units in the US.

As for drivetrain options, because they are trying to get the units here ASAP, no options this year, but next year should see the V6. Don't count on the manual as Acura has said the TSX manual is less than 4% of total TSX sales. Not sure if AWD will ever be an option. That would be cool

**rjpeaks** · 02-04-2011 01:48 PM

^^thanks!

***Stubek*** · 02-06-2011 02:08 PM

Well, we drove both yesterday, the A4 first. Hands down, the A4 is much better all around. The 8 speed really helps make it better, but the lack of a sport package on the Acura does not help them either. Also, all the controls for radio, nav, etc are much better integrated on the Audi. Now to pick a color.

**bluetori** · 02-09-2011 07:23 AM

I love how this car exists in the rest of the world as a HONDA because that is what it is. What a joke to pay more because us Americans are so ignorant as to think it's better for having a fake brand that only exists in North America.

Same thing with Lexus and Infiniti. However, the European version of this car is priced about the same as the Acura version in the US according to a friend in Europe who bought one about a year ago.

**VR6T M3** · 02-18-2011 10:21 AM

I rather a B8 A4 wagon

**rjpeaks** · 02-18-2011 11:01 AM

agree!

Doesn't look half good either

But it is hard to beat the lines of an B6A4 Avant

**mrleftlane** · 02-18-2011 12:42 PM

I like the look and the interior, but the TSX was always an under powered car. (Not enough torque). I was at the Toronto Show's Media day and interviewed one of their reps and he was on and on about the feel and the fit and finish. When I asked him about power output he pulled a typical Honda answer and spat out the horsepower stats. When I asked about the torque figures...he was clueless. That was all the warning I needed to move to the next booth.

Funny you say that, coming from the UK anytime I see an Acura I am always reminded that it is just a fancier Honda, makes it a little harder for me to pay a premium for them. I was tempted to pick up a 2006 RL though before I bought my Avant.

**A6Avant** · 02-18-2011 08:20 PM

Not a fan but I worked for Honda and lost all flavor for them....

**Beauespirit** · 02-21-2011 09:57 PM

I like having another wagon in the market, considering some manufacturers are getting rid of theirs. And this looks a lot better than the Crosstour. I use to have a 94' Accord EX Wagon 5spd. But I only buy RWD or AWD cars now.
