|  Finally, Good news From Honda/Acura. TSX-V6
That's good news. Ignore the Unique front end, it's not a bad car with the 3.5L V6.
I have driven the 2009 6MT and it's a tortoise on wheel. Its 2.4L was TOO weak to pull the heavy body. Quote:
The 2010 Acura TSX will now be available with a 280 horsepower 3.5L V6, which is most likely the same 3.5L offered in the Accord. When you check off the V6 option box you also get new 18" wheels, a slightly revised front fascia and a retuned suspension.
Unfortunately the TSX is still not available with the SH-AWD system that's offered on the TL and RL.
Acura claims that the 2010 TSX is the first of many changes for the 2010 model year, Acura plans on revising all of its models for the new year.
Interior
Like all Acura models, the new TSX will feature an exceptional level of standard equipment, including leather-appointed interior, power moonroof, automatic climate control, a premium seven-speaker sound system with CD, AM/FM tuner, XM® Satellite Radio, Bluetooth® HandsFreeLink® , USB port and AUX jack music interface and more
Powertrain
A new TSX powertrain choice means performance luxury buyers can enjoy a 280 horsepower 3.5L V-6, with sophisticated VTEC® valvetrain control and a dual-stage induction system. For maximum performance and efficiency, the engine will be coupled to Acura's Sequential SportShift automatic transmission, with intelligent features such as Grade Logic Control and Shift Hold Control. If the driver desires, the Sequential SportShift transmission can also be operated manually, via steering-wheel mounted F1®-style paddle shifters.

That said no doubt this is good news for Acura. The TSX should've had this a long time ago. Rest of the lineup still terrible though.

and the V10 NSX.

What's the point?
I don't see too much that differentiates this between the V-6 Accord, and the additional weight over the nose can't help what was the TSX's strongest trait. Appears to be slushbox only too.

^ TSX-V6 will be offered with a 6-speed manual.
Only the accord COUPE offers 6-speed manual.

very nice! not too keen on the design though... IMO the 3rd Gen TL (specifically 07-08) is still the best looking acura to date.

TSX with the 4cyl turbo and SH-AWD would be win. Would destroy the IS250 AWD and give a Japanese alternative to the 335xi.

So weight wise? 4 banger or V6 is relative the same
