My Take: The ’09 Acura TSX

January 30th marked the two year anniversary of ownership for my ’06 Acura TSX. Having spent over 730 days in and out of the car I can firmly say it’s the best vehicle I have had the pleasure of owning.

As the auto industry serves up their 2009 models, my excitement is building to see what Acura will offer as their ’09 TSX. Thanks to a careless administrative assistant, I now know exactly what the 4-door successor will offer.

According to Acura, the new TSX will continue to sport a 2.4-liter engine with only 201 hp. Come on Acura, couldn’t you have at least made the 2.3-liter turbocharged RDX motor an option? Don’t fret though, you can still win my praise back if you so much as consider tossing the i-DTEC diesel engine into future revamps of the TSX.

The official press release also makes note of an increase in width of the car, stretching 3.0-inches wider. Can I get an applause please? When looking to buy my ’06 TSX, the only complaint I could find was the upright stance the car portrayed. Wider is good, really good.

For now, that’s all I got. I’ll await many more photos to surface from the NY Auto Show to see if a trade is in my future.
