i like the rear a lot, but i don't think it's that much of an improvement on the exterior overall.

still rather have my 07.

Better?

This can't be the entire TSX lineup?

So when is the Type S coming out again? I'm more than a little surprised with the offered drivetrain. This can't be the entire TSX lineup?

For now its the only option they are going to give.....5 less hp and 8 more ft lbs of torque.

Unfortunately, gossip is starting to accumulate that Honda might abandon the high-HP AWD versions that have been the source of heated exchanges for over a year.

I hope the gossip is wrong.

I dont know if anyone has seen this, but it does not look so good for the 09 tsx

Powertrain
An all-aluminum DOHC i-VTEC® in-line 4-cylinder engine heralds a pair of firsts for the TSX model, including dual balance shafts and a direct ignition system. Along with improved performance, it is also cleaner as it now meeting the EPA's aggressive Tier 2-Bin 5 and CARB LEV II Ultra Low Emission Vehicle (ULEV) standards for the first time in TSX history.

Displacing 2.4-liters and producing 201 hp and 172 lb-ft of torque (with manual transmission), the new in-line 4-cylinder engine produces its useable power across a much wider rpm range, while five percent more torque further strengthens the engine's pulling power at middle rpm levels. This allows the 2009 TSX to be more responsive off the line and out of corners, and stronger in the middle of the rpm range where the engine operates most of the time.

This newfound performance and flexibility is due in part to a higher compression ratio, revised valve timing, and improved intake and exhaust gas flow. Further credit goes to the TSX engine's i-VTEC® "intelligent" valve control system, which provides the power characteristics of a V-6 without sacrificing the light weight or fuel efficiency of an in-line four. Likewise, a new rear-mounted exhaust manifold layout, a close-coupled catalytic converter design, and a Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI) system substantially reduce emissions levels. Estimated fuel mileage is 21/30/24 mpg* (city/highway/combined, 5 AT) and 20/28/23 mpg* (city/highway/combined, 6 MT).

Two transmissions are available, both as standard equipment - a 6-speed close-ratio manual with new performance-oriented ratios for Second through Sixth gears, and a Sequential SportShift 5-speed automatic with a new lock-up torque converter assembly. The manual transmission features a short-throw shifter with a precise, light action that makes it highly rewarding

How very disappointing.

Was really looking forward to an SH-AWD version with a bit more hp.

I'm just disappointed that it looks like the high HP and AWD versions have been set back.

:-(

I guess my next car might be a TL instead of a TSX.

Maybe that's what they wanted.

I think the 2009 TSX looks better than the 2008 TSX, better than the 2008 Accord, and better than the 2009 TL.
