Acura TSX Final Specs and Pictures
#21
i wonder how easy it will be to put in an aftermarket stereo system into this car (or the american accord for that matter).
While 360w sounds awesome, that's a peak figure and usally not RMS (continuous) power. For example, the 6th gen accord was listed as having a 100w (or maybe it was a 120w) stereo system. Which is 25w (or 30w) per channel. However, it only put out 12w RMS.
And plus, it's probably going to be a Bose sound system, which keep getting worse and worse with more hype and marketing spin.

i highly doubt a lsd in the type s sedan when even the rsx type s doesn't have one...at least the tsx has a manual so we should be happy its not in the TL's unfavorable status b/c of the lack of that option.
now how can those with the much more affordable lx accord 5spds get 200hp out of the same 2.4l...head swap?...sleeper

I'm officially in love. If the Type-S (when/if avaliable) can be had for about $27K, I'm sold. I'm really liking the black-out headlights.
The interior is very nice too. I think Acura hit a bases-loaded homer with this thing. I would be a tough call deciding between the Type-S and the Accord EX V6, especially since they'll probably be the exact same price, or close enough to where the extra money one way or the other will not make a difference.
I think Honda just wants to screw with our minds. :fawk:

Isn't it kinda wierd how the "base" model TSX has a 6-speed? Normally, it's always been left to the "Type-S" models. I wonder if their will even be a TSX-S. Hmm, makes ya think!

Anyway, yeah. I'm surprised how much I'm liking the TSX. Wow.

What exactly is wrong with a rebadged Euro/JDM Accord?
