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.
Very good points. Acura's are not slow by any means, even the MDX (with 240hp and not 260hp) is the fastest SUV this side of a high dollar German SUV.
I wouldnt be too suprised to see a hi-power (about 20hp more than the accords version) K24 and J30 show up in the TSX, thats actually what im hoping for. Like I've said before, the lack of a V6 is unheard of in this class. Think about it, everything north of a civic has a V6. An accord does, and Audi A4 (the TSX biggest competitor imho) does. And it comes with a 4cyl as the base engine.
I hope to see the TSX mimic the A4's scheme. 4 cylinder base, V6 optional, AWD optional across the line. Manual, auto or CVT in most version. As for the S4 version, there be a TSX Type S
Good point Chris, American and European engine options vary a lot. Expect to see about one engine that they have make it into the TSX, and the rest be different.
