Anybody have any info on the new Acura sedan? It is suppose to be a pure performance sedan that will fit between the RSX and the TLS. Just wondered if it share any components with our beloved little S. It will be unveiled at the Detroit auto show later this month.

 

it is essentially the Euro Accord Type R.

 

Well that sounds a little disappointing.

 

Its the Euro Accord R... Gonna be called Acura TSX..

Somebody has described it as a four-door Prelude. I wonder how much it'll weigh?

 

the conservative power output is disappointing. i don't think this sedan has any chance against it's competitors unless it's priced much lower than the rest.

 

there are rumors that the 6-speed V6 will be available as well. just like in JDM land.

 

Heh heh...a lady who was trying to sell me her S told me it was based on the Civic/RSX chassis

I ended up buying from someone else...

 

B0mbr,

You tellin' me an owner was that ignorant???

Sheesh, she couldn't've been a s2ki member!
