Yea, looks nice tho, but what puzzles me is why release a TSX w/ 200hp 4 doors and a separate RSX w/ 200hp 2 doors? That just doesn't make sense.

True that, but 200hp only is a little weak. It's too close for competition with the 4door accord @ 240hp. What's the price difference?

Rep Power: 317 Acura TSX is out!!!
i just saw the commercial for it on tv, so i went to the website to confirm, and its all. all the features, and price listed.
200hp 2.4L 4 cyl, 6 speed manual or 5 speed shiftronic auto, 17" wheels, leather, blah blah, starts $26.5K w/o nav, $28.5K with nav ( prices are before some $500 destination charge ).
car looks really nice, a lot better than the accord 4 door, but the interior looks just like the accord interior to me ( which is a good thing ). go to the website, check it out.

Rep Power: 317 yep, its definately pricey, but even with the $26.5K non-nav model, it comes loaded with features. i just wonder how it performs, being a rather large car with 200hp on it. but when you think about, the accord doesn't come with a 6 speed in sedan form, maybe people that want a sedan, and a 6 speed would look at the TSX?

Rep Power: 0 There seems to be a lot of confusion surrounding the TSX.
First although it may look like the new Accord, it is in fact based off the significantly smaller Euro Accord. The Euro Accord runs a more compact (think BMW 3-series) sized chassis designed to be sportier than our North American Accord. That means it is stiffer and lighter than the North American Accord. Not to mention that the suspension is tuned like a true sports sedan.
For what it is, it is a good deal. It undercuts the prices of the Audi A4 1.8T, Saab 9-3, and BMW 320i.
