Acura TSX 2nd Gen (CU2)

Larger across every dimension. Standard 2.4-litre four made 201 hp with the K24Z3 — slightly different cam profile from the previous generation, electric power steering replaced the hydraulic system (a step backwards in feel, per most reviewers). Six-speed manual still offered on the four-cylinder. From 2010, a 3.5-litre V6 (280 hp) became optional, automatic only — shared with the TL. From 2011, Acura introduced the TSX Sport Wagon (CW2), based on the European Accord Tourer — the only wagon Acura ever sold in the US. Wagon was 2.4-litre only, automatic only. Production ended in 2014 when the TLX replaced the TSX (and the TL). The 'Power Plenum' shield grille is divisive even now. Wagons are appreciating slightly given their rarity (~37,000 wagons sold across four years).
