Saw it at Temple of VTEC -- reserving judgement until the actual unveiling BUT don't really like what I see -- looks bigger and fatter.

Check out the white and black colour ones on the trailer.

Hi all,

Looks like the new Acura TSX will be getting the similar facelift RL grille

I think I agree with Ml2spin in this. Saw the spyshots and the RL. The grill looks the same. If so then the styling is a step backward for me. Glad I got the accord before this came if the grill looks like the RL one. Hopefully the JDM one doesn't look like the acura. Or that Mugen comes up with a solid aftermarket grill.

Are those on the trailer commercial released models? went to look at the UK honda website but i did not seem to see it on sale other than a feature on the accord concept tourer

Hi 2cubed, not to worry that chunky grille is reserved for Acura.

Hi NOTSOFIT, Those on the trailer are the actual production models which have yet to be officially launched.

Hi all, There you go... the '09 TSX with the new corporate Acura grille

actually, the car looks like a "beefed" up version of the current JDM model. looks like it went to the "gym" and now it looks a bit more muscular. no significant superficial changes other than the slight modification on the lights

good photos u got there.

Thanks for the pics Junning. Quick of you to pick it up so soon. At least the grill looks better on the TSX than on the RL. Now lets see what the JDM one will look like. It certainly seems to have a more pronounced wheel arches, mebbe to address the previous complaints of wheels looking tiny even with 17inch rims.

Hey Bro,
i read somewhere that future EuroR will be 2.3l LPTurbo with "super handling" AWD. dunno if it is true or not but sounds interesting.

with typeR so established, they can always keep the typeR badge to the king of NA+handling and maybe start to estalish in the turbo domain.

I dunno, having that much power to front wheels can be a nightmare. Torque steer. Around 250whp for a FF car is pretty decent enough already.

well I like NA...but then they damn well better get more HP in there somehow...cos I aint gonna spend 100k and lose to a bloody wrx or legacy gt.... damn shit

Honda think VTEC fans are stupid or wat? got vtec then no need more Hp?like that spend so much money to get whacked by a legacy GT or a base rex or even a silvia or even a 3.5L cefiro on the road????

joke man....
