Well, 25k-29k most likely. Depending on engine.

I consider the TSX to be a direct competitor to the Audi A4 1.8T, Volvo S60, Saab 9-3, and every other $25,000-$30,000 entry level luxury car. I consider nothing to be a poor man's anything, that's asinine. Whatever you can afford and want is your thing, don't look at it as a poor man's expensive car.

The problem is, it's FWD. And it's got the same interior as the Accord. And a V6 won't fit in its engine bay. I expect it to have 2.0L and 2.4L engine options, rating at 200HP/142ft-lb and 240HP/170ft-lb. This is gonna mainly be a smaller, more nimble Accord...I'm interested to see how exactly they're going to market. Honda sold 60,000 TL's last year and 400,000 Accords...the market is certainly there. I expect sales to meet production. The success of this car depends on whether or not they market it as an entry level luxury sedan or an entry level sports sedan.
