Acura models with S are NSX and RSX? That's all I think.

TSX and in Canada we had CSX which was like a Civic Si sedan.

Yeah, TSX. CSX is just a rebadged RR.... well.. TSX is a rebadged Accord Euro.

Lol you know it looks boring cause they prolly designed it here in the States lol Which I find hilarious since most state cars are designed in Europe. But I like the ILX it's a good DD if you can't afford an IS lol

If they kill the TSX they will have no sport left. Sad from a brand that started in NA with the Integra.

16 valve DOHC 1.6L just after Toyota gave us theirs with the 4AGE.

Then the NSX

Then the Integra Type R

How far you have fallen, Acura...

WHHAAAATT! How is this possible?
Inside Line reports it's actually faster than the BRZ:

ILX:
Acceleration
0-30 (sec): 2.7 (2.8 w/ TC on)
0-45 (sec): 4.6 (4.9 w/ TC on)
0-60 (sec): 7.1 (7.7 w/ TC on)
0-60 with 1-ft Rollout (sec): 6.8 (7.4 w/ TC on)
0-75 (sec): 10.5 (11.2 w/ TC on)
1/4-Mile (sec @ mph): 15.3 @ 91.6 (15.7 @ 88.5 w/ TC on)

BRZ:
Acceleration, 0-30 mph (sec.) 2.7
0-45 mph (sec.) 4.8
0-60 mph (sec.) 7.3
0-60 with 1 foot of rollout (sec.) 7.0
0-75 mph (sec.) 10.4
1/4-mile (sec. @ mph) 15.3 @ 92.1
0-30 mph, trac ON (sec.) 3.0
0-45 mph, trac ON (sec.) 5.2
0-60 mph, trac ON (sec.) 8.0
0-60, trac ON with 1 foot of rollout (sec.) 7.7
0-75 mph, trac ON (sec.) 11.1
1/4-mile, trac ON (sec. @ mph) 15.7 @ 90.5

Oops, didn't see the TC settings. Still, I'm surprised that with 25% less HP, it's getting close numbers.

No offense to the ILX, or to Acura... But the only car in their line-up which I'd choose from is the current TSX. If I'm not mistaken, it's their only car made in Japan...

Hence why I got a brand new 2010 TSX for my wife at a negotiated price of about $26k + TTL a couple years ago. Drives wonderfully and sporty too.

hang on, slow down. Are you sure those numbers aren't from the ILX with the 2.4-liter engine? That's packing the same exact power as the twins. It's rated at 201hp.

Nonetheless, I agree that Acura has mostly lost its soul. They need to bring back the Integra.
