TORRANCE, California — The 2011 Acura TSX Sport Wagon will go on sale December 21 with a base price of $31,820, including an $860 destination charge. That positions the Japanese wagon below competitors from Audi and Cadillac.
The uplevel TSX Sport Wagon, equipped with an optional technology package with an LED backlit navigation system, starts at $35,470, including shipping. In comparison, the base 2011 Cadillac CTS Sport Wagon with a 3.0-liter V6 starts at $39,090, including an $825 destination charge. The base 2011 Audi A4 Avant with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine starts at $36,815, including an $875 destination charge.
The TSX Sport Wagon features a multiconfigurable rear cargo area and an optional power tailgate. It is equipped with a 2.4-liter inline four-cylinder engine and a five-speed automatic transmission. Honda said it delivers an estimated 22 mpg in city driving and 30 mpg on the highway. The EPA has yet to rate it on its Web site.
Inside Line says: Should be interesting to see if consumers turn to this Acura wagon as an alternative to a crossover or compact SUV. — Anita Lienert, Correspondent

@4g63: the rsx never came with a 2.4l turbo, the only thing close to it is the RDX, which has a 2.3l turbo

That diesel version will stay in europe also the manual gearbox.......See how much Jetta"s VW is selling with the TDI motor,this is again a wrong decision from the Marketing crowd from Honda.
This will again be no hot seller,maybe Hyundai will come soon with a Sonata Wagon and sell out Acura by far.

no manual and weak engine.. fail. why can't honda put its 2.4L turbo in the RSX in good use? the V6 makes the TSX too heavy anyway. a 2.4L turbo TSX type S with a choice of auto and manual makes perfect sense. AWD makes it perfect.

I wish it had awd.... stick would be nice... I had an 05 Outback XT turbo with a 5speed... wagons are much better than SUV's... better handling and just as much cargo capacity as these smaller CUV's... rather have this than the crosstour

I agree with everyone else... no manual... no consideration.

I think a lot of manufacturer's are missing a demographic... enthusiast drivers from the mid/late '90s that are now married and have a kid or two. Wagon with a stick and good handling is a recipe that I can live with.
Outside of the wagon component, nothing really special here... Audi/VW have a hit here with their A3/Jetta TDI wagons (also offered with a stick), and Acura seems to have missed the mark.

I think I'd prefer a 2011 Subaru Legacy GT Wagon, if they offered that again. A stick, plus AWD... where can you go wrong?
