Bring the fucking TSX wagon over here from Europe and keep the 6spd manual in it.

I will buy it.

The top of the grill where it meets the hood looks so much like the previous gen Toyota Solara.

For sure I won't be one of them.

vwong · 09-01-2005, 11:52 PM

BTW, the idea of the 06 TSX front which looks like the Toyota Solara came from my wife. I was looking at the new front end and I was thinking that it looks like something, but I couldn't come up with the car. My wife came over and looked at the pic, and said Toyota Solara. I was like

That't the car I was thinking of....Damn!!!!

If anything, they should have made the grill more prominent a la the TL. Better get the 05s while you can.

I am so with you here! I like my 04 TSX grill better. This new grill makes it look so generic and bland. Yup, it does remind me of a Solara.... ouch. I wish they would have made the grill more like the TL's - I LOVE that grill.

Otherwise, I like the other new changes, though they are pretty subtle.

The rear taillights are still using regular bulbs.

The accord and accord coupe get leds, but the TSX cant. Damn.

helloha · 09-02-2005, 1:17 PM

even Civic and Accord got LED light now... and you are paying 10k more on TSX.....

**Crazy Acura** · 09-02-2005, 1:25 PM

The 2006 looks better to be.

helloha · 09-02-2005, 1:26 PM

Looks like even Civic got remote control integrated to the key too.

since when did the civic get leds for the rear? all the pics and comments have said that they look like leds but are just normal lights as far as i had read, and there wasn't a mention in the press releases was there?

You can see the bulbs in the middle of the reflectors.

heyitsme · 09-04-2005, 9:38 PM

Well that really doesn't change that the accord, a non luxury car, got leds and the tsx a honda luxury car did not.

phile · 09-05-2005, 1:06 PM

Kinda like the current version better. A quick glance at the refresh and you can almost mistake it for the last gen TL.

Acura Unveils TSX A-SPEC Concept at SEMA

Acura unveiled the TSX A-SPEC Concept at the 2005 SEMA show in Las Vegas, Nevada. This extensively modified TSX is a unique project built to explore the next level of performance accessory possibilities for Acura's popular sedan.

Based on the TSX sport sedan, the one-of-a-kind A-SPEC Concept is aggressively styled with wide fenders, custom 19-inch wheels and Pirelli tires that combine to increase the track by 0.8 inches (20 mm). The front and rear fascias have been redesigned for improved ventilation and downforce. Air is directed under the car with two-part carbon-Kevlar underbody diffusers and the new rear bumper incorporates dual center-mounted exhaust pipes. On the trunk is a custom carbon-Kevlar rear spoiler. The side sills are extended and the headlights and taillights are revised to blend with the A-SPEC Concept's unique styling. Suspension changes include A-SPEC performance springs and shocks along with oversize Brembo brakes. These track-tuned pieces are designed to enhance the TSX's handling in demanding conditions. The custom exhaust and intake systems combine to increase horsepower and torque and give the TSX A-SPEC Concept thrilling engine and exhaust notes.

Inside, the TSX A-SPEC Concept boasts race-ready Recaro seats. The front and rear seats are upholstered in premium black leather with suede inserts. Aluminum accents on the dash, steering wheel and shifter combine with carbon-Kevlar panels on the doors and center console for a high-tech, purposeful look.

TypeRS · 11-02-2005, 12:14 PM

loving those rims. this looks like that accord concept tat debuted in japan 2 years ago. and look, the interior is USDM accord/Euro Accord.

sdho · 11-02-2005, 12:38 PM

I want my audio controls on the steering wheel

...looks very nice. hope the a-spec for TSX is not too expensive like TL

AsianRage · 11-02-2005, 1:14 PM

Not diggin' the EURO/USDM accord interior in an ACURA!!

I'm loving the wheels. So nice. It'd look better without all the ribbings.

Collective27 · 11-02-2005, 1:27 PM

Wheels are nice, everything else is too overdone....

why does acura continue to make these a spec concepts and not actualy sell anything remotely like it...the a specs that are actualy for sale are complete wastes of money

Moog-Type-S · 11-02-2005, 1:43 PM

Wheels and brakes

Everything else...is ok.

**Yumchah** · 11-02-2005, 1:47 PM

Maybe I'm complacent...but, I am liking the kit too.

chungkopi · 11-02-2005, 6:48 PM

i don't like the kit

CCColtsicehockey · 11-02-2005, 11:06 PM

none of it will ever happen since they just redesgined the out side of the tsx

**Crazy Acura** · 11-02-2005, 11:25 PM

Looks cheap, only thing i like are the seats.

einsatz · 11-03-2005, 6:35 AM

phile · 11-03-2005, 10:41 PM

titan · 11-04-2005, 12:32 AM

Belzebutt · 11-04-2005, 10:59 AM

Seems like this is just the 2-year-old Accord Sport Study with an Acura badge slapped on it and different wheels (which look a lot like my Ron Jons

):
