I don't like it, and I like the current TSX a lot, because it's a very clean design. This just looks too overdone, yet still kind of bland. Front end reminds me of last gen Camry Solara.

it doesn't look bad. is it just me or does the wagon look like a smaller odyssey, especially from the back?

*Official* detail has been released about 2009 Acura TSX (not Accord Euro, so I assume more reliable source for US buyer). You will get bunch of results by search, but THIS is one of them. (They basically refers same info anyway)

Few highlights are:

* Only one engine selection just like previous gen (2.4 I4 for 201HP & 172lb/ft)
* No SH-AWD planned for now
* No Turbocharged RDX powerplant planned for now, either
* A bit bigger than previous gen
* Dual-mode suspension dampers
* Technology package became similar to that of other Acura vehicles (Realtime traffic added, AcuraLink added)

I have been a really big fan of TSX. And I like the new look of TSX as well. I was thinking about trading my 06 325i with new TSX once available, but it's quite disappointing it has pretty much same powerplant as before.

Same powerplant = :(. The problem with the Honda 2.4 I4 is it's based on such an old design. It's gets the same or worse gas mileage than a lot of new V6 engines out there and it takes premium to boot. Why else would the TL with that 3.5L V6 get better mpg?

I have an 06 TSX, and was thinking about waiting for this refresh due to a possible motor upgrade... Good thing I bought when I did! I would have been sorely disappointed!
