Introduction
The Acura TSX sedan was introduced in 2004 as a 4-door larger sibling to the Acura RSX. Put simply, the TSX sedan was a badge-engineered Honda Accord, which means that the exact car is sold in other parts of the world as the Honda Accord (interestingly enough, the North American market receives its own, larger Honda Accord). When the RSX was discontinued in 2006, the TSX became-and still is-Acura's entry-level offering. Now in its second generation, the Acura TSX sedan was last completely redesigned for the 2009 model year.

In 2011, the Acura TSX sedan will be joined by a new TSX Sport Wagon. The Sport Wagon, like its sedan sibling, is also a re-badged Honda Accord Wagon. (Honda doesn't sell this Accord Wagon model in North America-instead, they offer consumers the new Crosstour.) "The TSX Sport Wagon offers a smart solution to modern utility needs with its balanced and efficient driving performance coupled with bold styling and versatile cargo capabilities," says Acura of its newest model.

According to the company, the 2011 Acura TSX Sport Wagon will be available in dealer showrooms in late 2010.

Model Lineup
The 2011 Acura TSX Sport Wagon will be sold as one trim level, with all vehicles sharing the same engine, powertrain and 5-passenger cabin. The Sport Wagon's unique characteristics are found at the rear of its cabin. The rear cargo space includes a removable side panel to accommodate wider or oversized items. In addition, there are integrated under-floor bins for hidden storage.

All TSX Sport Wagon models will have a long list of standard features including leather upholstery, premium audio, power glass moonroof, dual-zone climate control, Bluetooth hands-free phone connectivity, and USB/AUX music interfaces.
