Essentially the same car as the European version of the Honda Accord, the 2009 Acura TSX  will feature the larger of the two Euro engine options. That means a new 2.4-liter four-cylinder motor producing 201 horsepower and 172 lb-ft of torque up front, featuring five percent more torque and more mid-range power than the motor it replaces. These gains are attributed to a higher compression ratio for 2009, revised valve timing, and more efficient intake and exhaust setups. Two transmissions will be offered as standard equipment, giving buyers the option of a conventional six-speed manual or Sequential SportShift five-speed automatic with a manual mode and paddle shifters.
