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...

Yeah, it's sad to see. I'm also curious about the new NSX. Is it good enough to wear NSX name? Only time will tell.

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.
