Save the minor trim and option package change for the ZDX, there are no changes to the rest of the line-up (TSX, TSX Wagon, TL, MDX).

Way to go Acura Product Mgmt, knocking it out of the park again this year too!

Seriously, would it be too hard to put the 6AT in the TSX V-6, toss the 6MT in the TSX Wagon, extend the SE trim of the TSX Sedan to the Wagon too. Don't have to do all of those, but at least throw us a bone and do something.

Acura introduced two new models this year, and will introduce its flagship this winter. I think to its safe to say their plate this is full.

The TL isn't due this year, silly. It already had it's mid-change last year. Typical automotive behavior.

TSX is dead. What are you expecting??? [rhetorical]

New MDX is due next year. Stop complaining... I'm sure you won't! 2014 I'm sure you'll find something to complain about again.

Are you going to attack every single person and post that is critical of Honda, Honda's decisions, and accuse them of being trolls? You must have an awfully lot of time on your hands. You may want to reconsider calling everyone else trolls when you fit that definition more closely then the people you attack.

I was hoping they'd decide to keep the TSX for 2 more years, say so outright, and then change the shield to reflect the more fluid looking one on the ILX. And maybe a couple small updates, like new wheels and a HSP sport type pkg that I could get behind. Mostly because I really like the sport wagon, but hate its buck tooth. They could even offer it as an accessory "sport grille".

That 2 yr grace period for the TSX would give them time to intro the next TLX, and get another body style for the ILX ready for prime time. However, I think thats probably asking too much of the morons that run this division.

Hardly a troll, I've owned 5 different Hondas or Acuras and currently have an Si Sedan as my current daily driver. Love the brand, reliability and resale, but the product offerings are ehhhh, unbelievably bland. So don't take it personal, name call or make excuses for Acura's (continued) misteps and lack of a class leading or desirable portfolio.

It's you lemmings that make the Acura team still think they're doing a great job.

I was thinking the same - they could do a couple of minor tweaks, but maybe they would but just not stated in this message.

It would be odd to have NOTHING new to the existing models. It wouldn't be smart for a business.
