Here's a thought.....given that the TSX will likely be history after this model year.....if enough of us put our heads together and appealed to Honda to offer a "Final Edition" TSX wagon with the tech package and the 6MT, might they do it? I'd buy one in a heartbeat if so....even if it only came in one color combo and even if there was a markup from the "normal" wagon. Thoughts?

I'm in full support, even though I won't buy it. Where's the petition!

Since there are hardly any TSX sedan 6MT's out there, the odds of them rolling out a wagon version seem slim, whether we want one or not.

I'm seriously waiting for the 'how-to' thread on one of the forums. I've seen the first gen TSX auto to manual conversion write-up, but haven't seen any for a second gen yet.
Prices are getting very reasonable for very low mileage used TSX wagons...given the discount from new, I'm now relooking at the TSX wagon as an option with the expectation I'd eventually swap for a '12 Civic Si 6MT which has a LSD. Only differences in ratios are 5th and 6th gears with the Si being 6% shorter and 6% longer respectively. Final drive, reverse, and 1-4 are all the same.
Mostly concerned about ECU/wiring, firewall modifications, cluster change options (to get rid of PRND...) and final tally on parts & cost excluding labor.

Anything is possible. It just takes a little bit of money.

Forget about it... It'll never happen! I'm just hoping there's a '15 TSX wagon on the works... based on the new Accord. Hopefully, with a tuned ED motor, CVT and 18" rims that should run like the Accord Sport but carry all the goodies of the Acura line.
For the time being, it looks like there is a '13 TSX Wagon.

I still have the interview Jeff did with John Mendel at the release of the TSX wagon.

Jeff did say that he would have one in his driveway if it had a 6 speed manual, but the time and pressure of geology wore him down.

Most likely his wife... ;-D
Let's face it, Jeff still has the S2K.
