Official Word:
"The TSX is designed to compete head on with other premium sports sedans from Europe and Japan. With 200 horsepower, a standard 6-speed manual transmission and 17-inch wheels and tires, the TSX delivers performance with the luxury and quality inherent to Acura vehicles. It will make a strong impact in the luxury entry sports sedan category." -- Dan Bonawitz, vice president, corporate planning and logistics
