<p>The 2010 Acura TSX is a sleek and luxurious four door sedan with a sophisticated appearance boasting clean and sharp lines. The flared fenders and xenon headlights bolsters the automobile&#8217;s athletic and bold stance. This auto comes in two trims; the TSX base model and the TSX V6. The base model comes with 17” alloy wheels while the V6 model comes with 18” wheels. The TSX is a compact vehicle that is lots of fun to drive and offers lots of luxurious amenities and value for the cost.</p>
<p>Two different engines can be selected from for the TSX, a V4 and V6. 2010 marks the first time that the TSX will be produced with an egine featuring six cylinders. The foyr cylinder engine is a 2.4 Ltr with 201 HP while the V6 puts out 280 hp and 254 lb feet of torque. The V4 engine gets 21 mpg in the city and 30 mpg on the freeway while the V6 receives 18 mpg in the city and 27 mpg on the highway. The V6 engine propels from 0-60 in just 5.9 seconds.</p>
<p>The interior is luxurious and sophisticated and sports metallic accents throughout. Standard options on every model include a climate control system, perforated seats appointed in fine leather, heated front seats plus a 7-speaker surround system with 360 watts of sound and a USB audio interface for compatibility with your favorite music players.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Back in 1986, when the Acura brand was introduced by the Honda Motor Company, two models started it all : the Legend and the Integra.  Since that time a couple of extra models have joined the Acura line up and the two original models were renamed : the Legend became the RL and the Integra was renamed the RSX.  Today&#8217;s RSX &#8211; a three door hot hatch &#8212; continues to offer pretty much what the first Integra stood for : luxury, engineering, and value.  Let us take another look at this favored seller and what the vehicle means to both the driver and to the company. </p>
<p> Honda&#8217;s introduction of Acura was before and done slightly different than Toyota&#8217;s advent of Lexus and Nissan&#8217;s roll out of Infiniti.  Unlike its Japanese cousins who were introducing pure luxury brands, Honda decided to include&#8217;near luxury&#8217; as well as top end cars in the Acura mix.  This marketing methodology was sort of like selling Cadillacs and Oldsmobiles under one name, but without the creating of a third brand.  Honda&#8217;s strategy has paid off as the Integra/RSX has been a preferred seller and a pleasant bridge for Honda loyalists looking for something more refined than the typical Honda, but without the Acura cost.  Actually, a star was born with the Integra and continues to polish with the RSX. </p>
<p> For driver&#8217;s, the RSX offers a gusto not present on the average Honda, giving it masses of room to be&#8217;specially tuned&#8217; by the O.E.M crowd.  With seventeen inch tires, six speed transmission, and seven speaker Bose sound system, the RSX has been engineered to provide optimal driving fun at an affordable price.  Featuring 2+2 seating, sport styling, and a 201horspower VTEC engine, the 4 banger RSX effectively combines performance with fuel potency. </p>
<p> For the Honda Motor Company, the RSX has helped to keep Acura sales powerful.  Latterly, the company began to market the Acura brand way beyond its  northern US roots and the RSX [curiously still called the Integra elsewhere] has led the way.  Recently {, however ,} the Corporation has decided to abandon the RSX to concentrate on further separating the Honda and Acura divisions.  So, the original desire of Honda for Acura has been changed and Acura will now be exclusively sold as a luxury brand. </p>
<p> For Integra/RSX lovers all isn&#8217;t lost.  Honda will likely sell an in a similar fashion provided deal while Acura will continue to sell the TSX, a four door upscale version of the RSX.  Changing purchaser tastes have shown a near luxury coupe doesn&#8217;t have quite as robust as an appeal as a four door sedan, so that the RSX won&#8217;t be produced after 2006. </p>
<p> The Integra/RSX has served Acura and its drivers well ; new models are sure to build upon its success as the Acura brand is spread worldwide .</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>In March 2006, the Honda Motor Company celebrated an important milestone: the 20th anniversary of their luxury brand, Acura. Created to give Honda backers a luxurious make that they could be proud of, Acura has successfully expanded the organization&#8217;s reach far beyond more prosaic models such as the Civic and the treaty. Today, Acura is a completely different brand than the company that was birthed in 1986. We&#8217;ll take a glimpse at Acura&#8217;s past, their present line up, and what the next 20 years may bring for this esteemed Japanese automaker.</p>
<p> Back in 1981, Honda saw a possibility opening up for itself that no-one in Honda&#8217;s headquarters wanted to miss out on : building and selling expensive cars to Yankee clients. Mercedes and BMW were both gaining traction in the U.S. As Yankee luxury brands Cadillac and Lincoln sputtered and lost market share. Honda was receiving widespread customer acceptance and critical acclaim for the three models it was then selling in the U.S, so the decision to market dearer and upscale cars was viewed as a powerful possibility.</p>
<p> When Honda management made a decision to go with the upscale brand, they did this knowing that the cars would ultimately have to stand apart from Honda to order the higher costs. Simply selling up market Hondas as Acuras would not work. Instead, each automobile was fitted out and retuned to compete directly against the leading luxury cars of that time. </p>
<p> The first 2 models to be sold as Acuras were the Legend, a V6 powered sedan and coupe, and the Integra, which was essentially a three door coupe based on a Honda Civic platform. Later, the NSX two seat dragster was brought out to fight Porsche and the Vigor sedan was introduced to fill the opening between the Integra and the Legend.</p>
<p> Over time, the assorted model names were dropped and replaced by vehicles with two or three letter designations. The Vigor became the TL, the Legend became the RL, and the Integra the RSX. Today, the MDX SUV, RSX sport compact, and TSX sedan, join the three other models to comprise the current Acura line up. A slightly smaller SUV, the RDX, will be joining Acura&#8217;s line up later in 2006.</p>
<p> The future of Acura looks bright in spite of powerful worldwide competition. Though Honda jumped into the market a few years before Nissan rolled out it Infiniti division and Toyota its Lexus line, Acura has trailed its Japanese competitors for more than a decade now. Some critics have said this misstep has hurt Acura, while others see it as a characteristic conservative Honda call to expand the Honda brand instead.</p>
<p> Future changes for Acura are sketchy, but model changes will probably include the introduction of diesel powered vehicles and more hybrid offerings. Some automobile critics have recommended that Honda has the capacity of outflanking BMW and Mercedes by manufacturing super luxury sedans and sports cars. Renowned Honda quality mixed with European styling, luxury, and engineering have fueled Acura&#8217;s success so far. An expansion of this theme to even larger and/or sportier models could vault Acura forward.</p>
<p> Truly, Acura has helped reshape the first perception that many motorists had about the Japanese brands, by delivering vehicles that are high in luxuriousness, tops in engineering, and strong in refinement. If the last 20 years have proved anything it is that fans can expect much more from Acura over the next twenty years. Kudos to the Honda Motor Company for developing a brand which has been so well received.</p>
