The TSX needs to get down to the 7 second range 0-60 to compete in its market niche over here.
They're not stupid (read: G20). How many Acuras these days are slow, besides the RL? Uhh, none. Everything in the Acura lineup has overkill horsepower.
Honda has never used the same engines for USDM as they did for JDM/Europe, people...don't worry.
RB6, don't get your panties in a wad over that 187BHP base...that figure is very similiar to the X-Type's engine, and also the A4's base engine. I suspect another engine in the Type-S that has at least 30 HP more...so like 220-240.
