Acura Releases First Official Photo Of The 2009 TSX

Acura, the luxury brand of Honda Motor, announced it will debut an all-new 2009 Acura TSX sports sedan at the 2008 New York International Auto Show.

The company released an exterior photo of the new model which is scheduled to go on-sale in the spring.

Acura said that the 2009 Acura TSX, which is the second generation of Acura's popular entry level sedan, will feature numerous advancements in performance, styling, technology and safety.

Earlier this month, at the Chicago Auto Show, Acura unveiled its redesigned 2009 Acura RL luxury sedan, which includes a new chassis technology, a revised steering system, upgraded coil springs, better performing shock absorbers, larger rear stabilizer bar, and more aggressive wheels and tires.

For 2009, the RL will be offered in three different trim levels including RL, RL with Technology Package and RL with Technology Package Plus CMBS.

All RL's receive a potent new 3.7-liter V-6 engine, Super Handling All-Wheel Drive, a Bose Surround Sound audio system, Bluetooth HandsFreeLink connectivity and a GPS-based solar-sensing climate control system.

The Technology Package includes the satellite-linked Acura Navigation System with Voice Activation with rearview camera, AcuraLink Real-time traffic, AcuraLink weather, Traffic Rerouting, a rear view back-up camera, Active Front Lighting System (AFS), ventilated front seats, and a wood/leather steering wheel and shift knob.

The top RL package is the Technology Package with CMBS which also includes Acura's Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS), Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), and genuine wood instrument panel trim.

Acura also said the RL earned 5-star ratings (the best possible) for frontal and side crash tests, and for rollover resistance, from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

The RL is the fourth vehicle in the history of the program to earn the top rating of "5-star" in all three test categories.
