Test Drive Diary

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.
