Record Sales Anticipated For Completely Redesigned Sports Sedan
TORRANCE, Calif., April 14 /PRNewswire/ -- Acura today announced
pricing for the all-new 2009 TSX sports sedan that will go on sale at Acura
dealerships nationwide on April 24th.
The completely redesigned TSX will be available in two versions: the
generously appointed TSX and the fully-featured TSX with Technology
Package. MSRP pricing for the TSX is $28,960 and the TSX with Technology
Packages is $32,060. The 2009 TSX is available with either a 6-speed manual
transmission or 5-speed automatic for no additional charge. Although the
new TSX surpasses the previous generation in virtually every way, pricing
for the 2009 model represents a modest 4.3 percent sales weighted average
price increase. Destination and Handling is not included in MSRP, and for
the 2009 TSX remains unchanged at $715.
"The all-new TSX is loaded with more technology, better performance,
additional comfort and enhanced safety to make it one of the most desirable
sedans in its class," said Dick Colliver, executive vice president of
sales. "We expect the dramatically improved 2009 model to set even more
sales records than its predecessor."
With Acura's new "Keen Edge Dynamic" styling, a clean and efficient
i-VTEC(R) DOHC 4-cylinder engine, a choice of automatic or manual
transmission, and the driving character that is an Acura trademark, the
2009 TSX is anticipated increase sales as Acura's entry-level sports sedan.
Major advances in handling, ride comfort, interior refinement, safety
features, improved fuel economy, and lower emissions contribute to the new
TSX's appeal.
In addition to its 3.0-inches greater width and 2.6-inches wider track,
the 2009 TSX has a 1.3-inches longer wheelbase and 2.4 inches more overall
length. Along with greater interior roominess, these dimensions combine
with the TSX's new suspension to provide more agile handling and improved
ride quality. Generous standard appointments include leather trim, power
moonroof, HID headlights, Bluetooth(R) HandsFreeLink(R) and a high power
audio system with XM(R) Radio along with USB port connectivity. The 2009
TSX enhances safety with its new Advanced Compatibility Engineering(TM)
(ACE(TM)) front body structure.
The TSX's Technology Package features a wide array of technology
including the Acura Navigation System with Voice Recognition(TM), Zagat(R)
restaurant information, and rearview camera; AcuraLink(R) Satellite
Communication System; AcuraLink(R) Real-time traffic with an all-new
Traffic Rerouting(TM) function; AcuraLink(R) weather with current and
future weather information; a 10-speaker Acura/ELS(R) Premium Sound System
with multi-format 6-disc DVD-Audio changer, AM/FM tuner, XM(R) Satellite
Radio, Note function for XM(R) Radio, and Dolby Pro Logic II; and a
GPS-linked, solar-sensing, dual-zone automatic climate control system.
The Acura/ELS(R) system, all-new for 2009, is tuned by 6-time Grammy(R)
award winning sound engineer Elliot Scheiner. This 10-speaker Acura/ELS(TM)
Premium Surround Sound System with DVD-Audio (that is 500 times clearer
than traditional CD) delivers studio quality sound along with a new Note
function for XM(R) Radio that makes it easy to identify songs to recall at
a later date.

vehicles through a network of 268 dealers within the United States. The
2008 Acura lineup features five distinctive models including the RL luxury
