Acura TSX (Japan, 2003-present)

Introduced in 2003, the Acura TSX, named as Touring Sportscar eXperimental, is a compact luxury car manufactured by Acura and sold only in the United States and Canada until 2009.

The Acura TSX was introduced in the North American market to fill in the gap of the Integra sedan which was discontinued in 2001. In the US it would eventually replace the Acura RSX as well. Since 2008 the TSX is the smallest vehicle in the Acura portfolio. All the TSXs are built in Sayama, Saitama, Japan.

The TSX is badge engineered from the CL-series Accord, also known as the European Accord. It started with a restyled interior and different suspension tuning than the European Accord, but since 2008 the interior is now standardized for Europe, Japan, Australia and New Zealand.
