           Introducing 2010 Acura TSX V-6

 

   

Scheduled to go on sale this summer, the 2010 TSX V-6 will be equipped with a powerful 3.5-liter engine, exclusive suspension tuning, larger diameter wheels and additional enhancements. 

 

"The automotive market may be slowing down, but not Acura," said Jeff Conrad, vice president of Acura sales. "With improved acceleration and handling, the new 280 horsepower V-6 adds even more sport to the already sporty nature of the popular TSX sports sedan."

 

Since its redesign last year, the TSX has shattered sales records to become one of Acura's best-selling sedans. As the entry point to the Acura  brand, the four-cylinder TSX has won over customers with its nimble handling, agile driving feel and balanced performance.

 

The V-6 model adds a new level of power on top of these winning traits for a more sporty and spirited driving experience. The V-6 will surely satisfy driving enthusiast's appetite for a fun-to-drive, yet refined sports sedan.

 

With the introduction of a V-6 powered TSX, Acura will fill a niche in its lineup between the four-cylinder TSX and the all-new TL performance luxury sedan. With the TL moving more upscale following its redesign in the 2009 model year, the TSX V-6 will be aimed squarely at youthful buyers who want a performance-oriented sports sedan in a more personal size.



Powertrain
"Not only is the auto's manual mode responsive, smooth, and relatively quick, it also helps scoot the TSX down the dragstrip with alarming alacrity. Zero to 60? How about 5.9 seconds."
                                                     "First Test: 2010 Acura TSX V-6," 

                                                                              motortrend.com

"Bend the TSX into a tight corner or a gentle sweeper and this sedan generates serious smiles. And that's really what separates a good sport sedan from an average one. Did you enjoy the last 17 hairpin turns, or did it seem like work? The Acura TSX V6 is quite fun to drive hard."

 


"On our drive through some of the best roads in the Santa Monica Mountains we noticed the steering feels a bit heavier and a touch quicker than the four-cylinder TSX too. And that, along with the additional weight makes the car feel more substantial."
 "2010 Acura TSX V6 Test Drive: 280 hp Sport Sedan Is  Transformed,"
                                                      Popular Mechanics, June 5, 2009

"Shifts came as quickly as any touring-car champion is ever going to want, and if you drop the console-mounted shift lever down all the way to S, the engine stays in gear no matter what, bouncing off the 6,800-rpm rev limiter all day if you so choose."
                            "Acura TSX gets power boost with V6 transplant," 
                                                                AutoWeek, June 6, 2009


                     "Undeniably, the new Acura TSX is one slick package"
                                                                    Automobile, May 2008



"Acura's entry-level TSX gets bigger and offers more features for '09."
                                                                  AutoWeek, April 7 2008
  


           "Baby Acura's bigger than the original Legend. Better, too?"
                                                                  Motor Trend, May 2008

 
      "High tech and high style, without the stigma of excess power." 
                                                                 Road & Track, May 2008

     

    
"The new TSX has sharper styling with a roomier interior that is packed with techno-savvy gadgetry. But with a sport sedan like the TSX, it all comes down to one thing: how does it drive?"
