Default Acura TSX Sport Wagon Coming In 2010.



Upset with the styling of the Acura ZDX or Honda Accord Crosstour? Sleep easy. Acura's announced today the addition of a TSX sport wagon — with, assumingly, styling like the Euro Accord wagon (above) — to its 2011 model lineup.

All-New TSX Sport Wagon to Arrive in Fall of 2010
10/28/2009 - TORRANCE, Calif. -


Acura announced today the addition of a TSX sport wagon to its 2011 vehicle lineup. Arriving at Acura dealerships in the Fall of 2010, the TSX sport wagon will be based on the popular TSX sports sedan, which features balanced performance, advanced technology and bold styling. Additional information on the 2011 TSX sport wagon will be announced at a later date.

So, it's a Matrix/Vibe competitor?

Wow, so Honda finally is bringing the Euro Accord wagon to North America, as a TSX wagon. Good job, Honda fans for years have been asking for this. So now the Acura brand will have the MDX, RDX, ZDX, and TSX wagon, with only 3 sedans.

With that grill, I'd consider the car! Looks nice especially in front....

It has to be an Acura, otherwise it'll overlap the ugly Crosstour thing.

Glad the Accord wagon comes here. Now I am curious to see all the Honda fans that begged for it will BUY it. I am very concerned about pricing for it.

Pricing is likely to be fairly high, plus as an Acura it will have the hideous shield grille.

If they put the excellent SH-AWD on it, this will be a serious competitor to Subaru AWD wagons and the Toyota Venza (depending on the ground clearance, and if it has a raised-suspension like the Outback). And (I'm sure you will agree) the Accord wagon (TSX) is MUCH better looking than the Crosstour. I just hope that if Acura markets it as a TSX wagon, they don't stick on that ugly parrot beak.

Tell you what, Mike....how about this? We'll split the review, if they market the AWD. You do the FWD version, I'll do the AWD

That's all we have left is LAST-generation Legacy wagons. They were dropped last year from the American market (as were Outback sedans) due to low sales.

Please, you are asking for too much from Acura.

Deal but fwd is weaksauce. Having recently driven the rwd CTS wagon this car better be significantly cheaper.

I see no value in any euro accord costing over 30 grand here.

I don't see it costing as much as a CTS wagon, though 30K (or a little more) is probably in the ballpark, particularly for an SH-AWD version. That's about what mid-upper level Outbacks run.
