Acura continues the celebration of its 25th anniversary with the launch of a new version of the 2012 TSX sedan named Special Edition that is available exclusively with a 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine.
The Japanese company says the new model was "designed to evoke the fun-to-drive 4-cylinder Acuras of the past" (so does that mean it's current portfolio isn't "fun-to-drive"?), which in reality translates to a subtle aero package, added standard equipment and the availability of a manual gearbox.
On the outside, the TSX SE gains a front apron, a new rear bumper fascia, side skirts, a set of Special Edition badges and bespoke 17-inch alloy wheels featuring a polished finish with dark grey background.
Interior upgrades include a variety of cosmetic appointments such as the seating surfaces in perforated black Lux Suede inserts and red backing, red stitching for the seats, steering wheel and the shift knob, plus red lighting for the instrument cluster gauges, overhead lighting and footwell lighting.
The aluminum pedal covers and the bright silver plating for the steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters along with black headliner material complete the look.
As previously noted, the TSX Special Edition is powered by the firm's K24 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine available with either a close-ratio 6-speed manual gearbox or a Sequential SportShift 5-speed automatic transmission.
Sales will begin in late September with the TSX SE to make its first public outing at the Orange County International Auto Show on September 22nd.

Take one good-looking Euro Honda Accord.
Ship it to the USA and call it an Acura.
Stick a silver beak-like grille on it.
And make it look like a retard! ...WTF?
Dear Acura, this pig needs more lipstick.
Love, Bingo
i think it was a 2012 camry
wow...at first I thought that this car is a toyota camry...how similar
Look closer.
Hey Acura, do you have something against 18" wheels? They'd make a world of difference in how this car looks.
I'm sure this will be a great car. I just hate the front fascia it's killing me. I can't wait til Acura moves away from that flat boxing looking thing
This car is exactly the same as every other TSX. What an incredibly weak package. Instead of silver pedals and side skirts you barely notice, how about a 6-speed auto?? How about some more power from the old 2.4L? How about addressing the car's real weaknesses?
No one needs this "special edition".
What a disappointment ...
Lol, great sharing.. thanx
