What is the weight difference? Handling difference? Better "driver's car?"
I think the Accord weights around 3265 lb and has 240 hp. I think the RSX Type S weighs around 2694 lb and has 200 hp. Can the TSX compete with these?
The TSX Type S might really interest me.
Click on the "discuss this further" button. That will bring you to the Acura TSX thread with lots more pictures and specifications.
The TSX isn't designed to compete with any other Honda models, except maybe as a sporty alternative to the Accord Sedan. It should be slower than the V6 6 speed Coupe, but faster than all of its rivals (Jag X Type, Audi A4, BMW 325i, Nissan Maxima, Saab 9-3, etc). It in no way competes with the RSX...as I said, it's not a 4 door RSX. Not anywhere close.
The base TSX should do 0-60 in the upper 6s with a 6 speed and do the quarter mile in the low 15s. Don't hold your breath for a Type-S model, it all depends on sales and demand IMO.
