VEHICLE HIGHLIGHTS

The 2011 Acura TSX lineup expands with the addition of a new wagon body style. This front-wheel-drive car is Acura's entry-level model, and TSX shares some of its basic design with the European-market Honda Accord. The standard engine on the sedan and Sport Wagon remains a 201-horsepower 2.4-liter 4-cylinder. A 280-horsepower 3.5-liter V6, borrowed from the larger Acura TL, is offered on the sedan. The 4-cylinder sedan is available with manual or automatic transmission. The wagon and V6 sedan are automatic only. Standard features include a sunroof, wireless cell-phone link, leather upholstery, heated front seats, and automatic climate control. The V6 model rides on 18-inch wheels, while the 4-cylinder gets 17s. Available safety features include ABS, traction control, antiskid system, curtain-side airbags, and front-side airbags. An optional Technology Package for both the 4-cylinder and V6 is available, and versions so equipped are priced as separate models. The package includes a voice-activated navigation system with real-time traffic and weather information; dual-zone automatic climate control; a rearview camera; and a 10-speaker, 415-watt surround-sound audio system. Sport Wagon evaluations are based on preview test drives.
