Acura has released the first official image of its next generation TSX sedan today, as well as confirming suspicions that the car will make its debut at the New York Auto Show next month.
The new TSX doesn’t seem to stray wildly from the form of the last car, but it has been clearly updated, most obviously with Acura’s new corporate grill. While the new face is the same basic shape as was debuted last week on the new RL, it seems to find a more elegant home here on the TSX, managing to avoid the “puckering” look that was so questionable in Chicago.

No technical information has been released as yet for the TSX, but we’re keeping our fingers crossed for the announcement of Honda’s new diesel engine for North American sale.

TORRANCE, Calif., Feb. 11, 2008 – Acura announced today it will debut the all-new 2009 Acura TSX sports sedan at the 2008 New York International Auto Show and released an exterior photo of the new model. Scheduled to go on-sale in the spring, the 2009 Acura TSX will be the second generation of Acura’s popular entry level sedan and feature numerous advancements in performance, styling, technology and safety.
“The new 2009 TSX speaks clearly to the direction we are taking our Acura sedans in the future,” said Dick Colliver, executive vice president auto sales, “The TSX is a significant step in the advancement of our sedan lineup and the continued enhancement of the Acura brand.”
Acura unveiled the new 2009 RL at the Chicago Auto Show last week and also announced the company will introduce an-all new TL performance luxury sedan later this year.
The 2009 Acura TSX will be introduced during the New York International Auto Show media days which occur on March 19th and 20th.
