hmmm that looks like the sport model with (but dont quote me)
some nice looking 17 inch wheels... so far we've seen shots of the car with tiny 16s.

HID headlights!? :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Goddamn the TSX needs to come here quick!

 

Why is there no wheelgap? Were pre-production springs used at time of press??

 

I better say something before someone starts ranting. The 2.0L 155HP engine probably won't make it into our shores for the Acura TSX. It's probably fitted for the econo-trim for the Euro-market for the Accords over there. The 2.4L 190HP is probably in line on what the base TSX engine is for the NA market.

Other than that everything looks :thumbup:. I was looking at pictures of the RSX just now, I the taillights on the TSX looks very similar to the RSX. Look! Dual exhuast.

BTW, I like the leather shift boot, even if it looks like a fake manual. The Saturn we have has it and it makes it much easier to keep clean. :fawk:

 

I forgot to mention that. I expect the K24 to have 190-195HP and a J30'd Typpe-S to have 245-250 HP. Hey, if it's a more expensive Accord, it better have nicer kicks too...

 

I think the Type-S might stick with a inline-4. Probably with the tradition of the RSX-S 100hp/L and pushing it to 240hp. But all this is still totally unconfirmed and just speculations. :fawk:

 

Where is the motivation to buy the TSX over the accord w/o a V6?? Most people see it that way. I'd rather have the J30 personally. But a K24 tuned to 220-230 HP wouldn't be bad...although they need more HP than the 7gen IMO.

 

For those interested in more pictures:

I'm thinking it's no cooincidence that the liscense plate says "240 ACC". In press photos they just don't make stuff up for those. ACC obviously stands for Accord. 240 hopefully stands for things to come (J30 V6?)

Also, if you look at the picture right above this post... does anyone know why there is only one reverse light (the circle is red on the left taillight, white on the right). I've noticed this on european cars before, and never really understood it.

 

Hmmm...makes sense with the dual exhuast in the rear. The TSX-S powertrain is still up in the air if it's going to be a high output i4 or V6. :dunno:


Something has to do with rear fog lights that is mandated in some of the Euro countries. I believe the one on the right must stay one very dim at night. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong about how it operates, but I'm almost for sure it has to do with something with a rear fog lights.

 

A small V6 wouldnt be out of question for the Euro market, if Honda really does want this thing to go up against the Germans it kinda needs one.
