Test Drive: Acura TSX sport wagon is a lot of fun - USATODAY.com

Test Drive: Acura TSX sport wagon is a lot of fun - USATODAY.com
Honda does good wagons. The Civic station wagon sold in the U.S. in the 1975 through 1991 model years was a neat-looking and practical alternative to the then-very-small Civic sedan. The 1991 through 1997 Accord wagon not only suited the eye but also handled corners better than the sedan; the wagon had room for a better rear suspension.

Now, a wagon joins the updated 2011 TSX line from Honda's Acura premium brand. TSX is the entry-level Acura, based on the car sold in Europe as the Accord. It's unlike the U.S. Accord.

The U.S. Acura TSX sport wagon is the Americanized Euro-market Accord Tourer. Acura figures it'll make out fine selling just 4,000 a year here because it already sells plenty over there.

Refreshed 2012 Acura TL to Debut at Chicago Auto Show - Car and Driver Blog

Refreshed 2012 Acura TL to Debut at Chicago Auto Show - Car and Driver Blog
Acura will show a refreshed version of the TL at the upcoming Chicago auto show, the first major update for the car since the fourth-generation model debuted for the 2009 model year. Details are thin for now, with the company simply describing the TL as “newly refined” for 2012.

As with the 2011 RL, the TL’s five-speed automatic transmission will be replaced by a six-cog unit, which should produce a marginal increase in fuel-economy numbers. We expect the car will wear modified sheetmetal that addresses the controversial grille and angular rear end of the current car, pictured above, and Acura will likely pack still more technology and driver aids into the interior. Check back next month for full information on the TL, live from the Chicago auto show.
