Chicago Auto Show: 2010 Acura TSX V6

Scheduled to be available for sale in the middle of 2009, Acura has introduced its V6-powered variant of the TSX sports sedan at today’s Chicago Auto Show. It comes with the 3.5-liter V6 derived from the TL and RL which yields 280hp (209kW).

A stiffer suspension has been installed to compensate for the additional power yield together with new control setting for Acura’s Sequential SportsShift 6-speed automatic with paddle shifters derived from the F1. The wheels, which are wrapped with Michelin Pilot all-season rubber, are 18-inch aluminum. Besides bigger wheels, the TSX is made distinct from its 4-cylinder version by a slightly modified front face and V6 marking.

This car needed it! When I test drove the 4 cylinder this, it was like driving a 4 cylinder in the 90's... It was the slowest car I have ever drove in a long time....

What's the 0-60 in the TSX 4 cyinder slug?

I think it's 8 sec flat.

The new Acura grille actually fits the TSX very well.

Dealer tried to "upgrade" me from my '05 TL. I told him no way in hell with that 4 banger in there. Don't get me wrong it's nice in person especially the interior. But to go from a Tl and it's driving dynamics to the TSX which is about the same size with a 4 cyl. was a real insult.

About time Acura!! Hopefully the chrome nose won't ghost you on the trooper's laser gun.
