Acura vehicles have made a name for themselves as technologically advanced products with a combination of luxury and performance. In designing the new 2009 TSX, the luxury division was obviously intent on luring more buyers away from other entry level sedans by incorporating more mainstream features into the design.

The Acura TSX has been called a European Honda Accord with a massive facelift; loaded with luxury content to fulfill the expectations of those shopping in the entry level sport luxury sedan segment. theory of building the TSX off of the current year's European Accord worked for past models. The TSX was immediately a well liked car with its sporty feel and nimble handling.

In the 2009 TSX, the sporty look is less emphasized and instead designers focused on the luxury items that mainstream buyers were looking for in the TSX's class of vehicles. The 2009 model offers higher levels of comfort, refinement and luxury than previous years' models.

The vehicle is capable of accelerating to 60 mph from a standstill in just over 7 seconds using an engine that produces power across a broader rpm segment than previous years' models. The engine specifications also allow this vehicle to come in as one of the cleanest vehicles in its segment with an ultra low emission vehicle rating attracting many new enthusiasts. And on top of that...the vehicle also boasts efficient performance at the pump with 21 mpg city and 29 mpg highway.

The popular handling capabilities were even improved for 2009! The 2009 TSX includes independent double wishbones front and rear; maintaining its good handling balance (and that's really saying something when you take into account the 60/40 front to rear weight distribution).

The new 2009 offers a lot more for those looking to indulge in a bit of luxury without losing the most popular aspects of previous models. For more information visit your nearest Acura dealer and test drive one today!
