Just when u thought you couldn't a cheaper luxury badged car, Acura does it again! Instead of calling it the Acura EL, its now the Acura "we have no method the naming of our cars" CSX.
If the 200hp 166lbs of torque TSX is just TOO MUCH for you, you get 155hp and 139lbs torque in this luxury car

This is exactly what the Japanese Civic looks like. As you can see there are minor differences front and rear with our version(US version). The Acura CSX is just bagde engineering of the Japanese version.
With that said, its crap, and they should be ashamed of themselves doing this once again. So they have 2 cars that are basically the same size. TSX and CSX. Not a good look.

Interior Volume
TSX - 91.0 cubic ft.
Civic - 90.9 cubic ft.
The only big difference is the lenght(around 6in longer on the TSX). The rest of the dimensions are on top of eachother. yes the TSX is the Euro Accord built on a different platform, but size wise, they are to close for comfort.
Driving both though will more than likely show many differences. But I still donbt think there is a significant difference in that either.
Now all we need to know is how much this model cost compared to the TSX(Canadian prices obviously).
Look at what Lexus did with the IS and ES. Major difference not only in size, but driving dynamics as well.

But I did drive 2005 TSX, and it's a POS. It's about as hard on the road as the IS300, but it doesn't have IS300's handling and RWD, and on top of everything it's hella slow. The only good thing going for it's is that its very sexy, and the interior with wood trim is gorgeous.
The CSX is pretty much a replacement for the old 4 door integra I would guess, since the TSX doesn't fall into the same price category.

From the thread, I can't quite make out just what the intended market of this car is.

I DO agree that 139 ft-lbs. of torque at a high 4500 RPM......typical for a Honda-designed VTEC four....is not worthy of an Acura nameplate, at least here in the U.S.
