2010 Acura TSX
Just got an email from Acura regarding the 2010 TSX V-6. The 2010 TSX will be 280-hp, 3.5 liter VTEC engine. Anyone have information about price, updates, etc.?

Looks like fun!! I think it'll be priced to where the V6 and tech package will be the same or close in price. $2k option. So an extra $4k for the whole deal.
Worth it? I think so! Needed, not really, but fun!
Same here!
The lease of my 2006 Accord V6 6MT is up this summer, and when I heard the TSX V6 rumors, I had high hopes. But I refuse to even consider one without the stick.
On a sad note, there is *nothing* in the Honda/Acura lineup right now that I see as a legitimate replacement for the Accord V6 6MT. Of course, for $8k more I could buy the ugly ugly TL with a stick (btw., did I mention it is ugly) but in addition to being ugly it is also bloated and not even much faster than my Accord. Moreover, at this price level, the Germans start looking mighty tempting ...
The TL really isn't as bad in person, and the grill can be modified. With minimal cost. I too, saw a black one, and it was quite nice. It was the fully loaded model. But, compared to the TSX, it is quite bloated, a little off track of what people like you are looking for. Something agile, sporty, that bar was up so high on the previous TL, that it was hard to beat that.
It really is too bad they are going away from the manual option, if anything that should be a standard "option". They do have this paddleshifting...lol. but some how not the same.
We owned a 1976 Mercedes 300D and then a 1980 Mercedes 300 TD. That is when mercedes were excellent cars.
Paddleshifting can not compete with manual transmission. IMO
But, I am a bit sad they took away the "red" color. They have the more maroon color red, but the sport red is gone. Perhaps it wouldn't look as good with the new design.
I think most colors look good on the car, the silver in the car looks a bit too casual for me. Still looks good if I had to get it in silver though.
I think the TSX is a woman's car.Acura has made it impossible to get an entry car with some torque and at the right price.
Maybe the TSX, isn't meant to be a sports car ,but a family sedan. I have to have a six spd tranny ,or no deal.I have been offered 2k over book for my Type S . What's wrong with this picture?
If I sell where do I go to find a six spd HB with a 2.0 .
I "ll probably go to Mazda Speed. I'm not driving a Civic SI.
30k is what they want for a TSX in NH I don't know how someone on here posted they are going for 26K.I didn't try the TSX,but I'd like to know if it's a fun ride. :confuse:
As an aside, the TSX V6 would present a dilemma for someone trying to choose between that and the FWD TL. I mean, what would the FWD TL offer that the TSX would not? :confuse:
That said, I might be choosing between the V6 TSX and SH-AWD TL in 1-2 years.
True, the rear legroom in the TSX is somewhat tight. But the extra space in the TL comes at the expense of significantly increased exterior bulk. The TSX is just a much tidier size for urban use.
If you wanted the fully loaded TSX, it would be an extra $4k or so more than the base model. Roughly $80-$100 more per month. Worth it? Yes, I think it would be a great car with all options. V6 would be fun!! The issue would be though, it cannot get too close to the TL pricing. I don't see myself getting TL, but one might just move up to the TL if they are that close to the TSX. Not when the TSX offers more bang for the buck. Atleast for me, I don't need a big car like the TL. 4cyl would be enough for me honestly. The V6 is very tempting though.
You call dealers now and they try to sell you the 09 4 cly TSX (desperation).
For people like me who usually don't need to take backseat passengers around, it could be the perfect fit.
So I will sit on the sidelines till June to decide on a 2010 TSX v-6 or Accord EX-L V6.
There is an interesting discussion.....
When a customer see's the 3K price diff they'll get the 2009.
I'm planning on getting a 2010 one at invoice... when that day comes. I'm hoping it's in June, but we'll see.
2010 TSX Pricing
Last but not least, Acura has set the pricing for the 2010 TSX.
2010 TSX (2.4L 5AT/6MT) - $29,310*
2010 TSX Tech (2.4L 5AT/6MT) - $32,410*
2010 TSX V6 (3.5L 5AT) - $34,850*
2010 TSX V6 Tech (3.5L 5AT) - $37,950*
The 2010 TSX is out right now but it's a rolling release. That means vehicles are shipped as soon as they're built. Add $810 for the Destination charge. With the rolling release not all dealers will have them on 6.2.09. Some might get them later and some might get them earlier. Hope this helps.
Those are some steep pricing.
I would assume the V6 would have been a $2,000 option. As it is with the Accord. Granted, you do get the big rims, and maybe a few other small features. But, $37k for a V6 TSX? You have got to be kidding. No way. Sorry. They may burn themselves on this. As, why in the world would one get the TL, when you can get the whole bang on the TSX in a tidier package.
The pricing, might push them off the map a bit. I hope your not making a bad move Acura, now is not the time to play games!!! :surprise:

The 4cyl with Navi offers more bang for the buck. However offering a Turbo on the 4cyl engine would be something I get! Add more torque, similar mileage. Perhaps cost less, but might have more issues later though. But, don't they already have turbo on the SUV? So just add that option to the TSX. The its less weight, torquey little thing... I would move on that!
If you wanted a V6, I would get the Accord. Not the tsx, though the TSX has a more modern, techno look to it, less family sedan looking.
Acura has been very successful at conquests - for other companies, with Audi and Infiniti as the main beneficiaries. Acura is soooooooo lost.
The Acura grille reminds me of fishing - put the largest, shiniest lure down to catch the stupid fish. Huggy Bear would be proud.
Me too, whats new for 2010 TSX, if anything? if going for th TSX, would rather have the 4 cyl, but would like to know of any changes from 2009 to 2010. Would really love it if the weird overassisted steering went away.
I know the Accord is a "nice" car and know it will run forever and 2 days (my 2001 Honda Prelude Type SH which I purchased new in April 2002 currently has 112,500+ miles & counting), but doesn't do it for me as far as the driving experience goes.
We almost leased the Passat instead of our X3 2 years ago, but for an extra $25 per month, I got a $40K+ BMW instead of a $28K VW (no offense to the VW, but the X3 is quite an awesome vehicle).
The TSX V6 came up on my radar. I just wonder what the EPA's fuel economy combined numbers are. They have to be at least 22mpg (a 4cyl auto TSX is 25, same as a V6 Accord). Second I'm curious to see if our double stroller fits in the trunk with some room to spare.

Still, $3500 is a heck of a nice little profit, IIRC.
Like I said, I really wanted an E60 5er, but it doesn't meet the EPA's fuel economy requirements for the program.

Good luck with whatever you decide. Knowing you, I'm sure you'll make a good choice.
