The redesigned Acura TSX is trying to take its place among affordable entry point for premium buyers. It will be using 2.4 liter engine and producing 201 hp and 172 lb of torque. For transmission you got two options, a 6 speed manual with new performance oriented ratios, and a Sequential Sport Shift 5 speed automatic with a new lock-up torque converter assembly.
The new TSX will be a little longer and wider so that should give it a little more presence on the street, but what this car could use is a little more hp under the hood to boost it from 200 hp. Might not be enough for the entry level luxury cars.

Automakers all over the world are trying to spice up their car lineup and are getting themselves into the unknown. Nobody is doing more so than Honda, who is working hard at getting their FCX concept car into production. FCX is significant because it will become the first fuelcell car avalable for everyone to buy.
The Honda FCX is power by electricity, generated by its fuel cells, big enough for a family of four and comes with luxury options such as infotainment system, air conditioned seat and premium souns system. It bigger than the Honda Accord and the original concept.
Buyers would be able to lease the car for three years for around $600. The car would only be available in a few places because of the limited hydrogen fuel, limiting its use to people who live within 100 miles of a fill up station. Honda realizes that leasing such vehicles may hurt the company, but are confident that in the long run it will pay off.
