Fancy a bit of buck-toothed big Acura style? The 2009 Acura TL starts at $34,995. That will buy you a 3.5-Liter V6 and an automatic transmission (a manual is coming next year). Speed freaks will want to spend up to the $38,505 Super Handling All Wheel Drive-equipped model with the 3.7-liter, 305 HP V6 (the most powerful Acura ever). The truly committed can plump for the $43,235 TL SH-AWD with 19-inch wheels, summer performance tires and Technology Package. None of those prices include the $760 destination and handling fee.

We first showed you the teaser shot a few weeks back, then the press release accidentally went live a short time later. But now here it is in the flesh for all you Honda-headed fan boys -- the all-new 2009 Acura TSX -- powerful double plenum grille (same as that found on the new 2009 Acura RL ) and all. The new TSeXiness is supposedly "more agile and more powerful than ever before" and that seems to be the case given the DOHC i-VTEC in-line 4-cylinder producing 201 HP and 172 lb-ft of torque with the manny tranny. Get the rest of the deets below and remember to head back here later tonight when we're expecting to have some more TSX news. Unfortunately said news is not an S-type. But we can't have everything can we? Well, yet anyway. All-new 2009 TSX is larger, more agile and more powerful than ever before, raising the standards for Acura's entry-level sedan. The second-generation Acura TSX is designed to appeal to young professionals with its keen-edge styling, athletic...

Rather than deal with the usual issues of a long-lead press drive engendering spy shot after spy shot of the new 2009 Acura TSX , the boys and girls from Honda's luxe brand have decided to just drop a single shot of the new TSX out the day before the press drive begins. The shot shows off basically everything you need to know about the exterior of the new TSX, giving you a real taste of that new double-plenum power grille (just like its big brother, the 2009 Acura RL , revealed in Chicago last week). In addition they've also announced we'll be seeing a performance version of the new TL sometime later this year. But for the moment, here's the deal -- the new Acura TSX is coming to the New York Auto Show , and we'd like to say more, but you'll have to wait until the embargo's up on our fearless leader getting behind the wheel this week out West. Full press release below the jump and a larger shot of the one above in the gallery below. galleryPost('2009AcuraTSX'...

newVideoPlayer("euroaccord_jalopnik.flv", 475, 316,""); The folks at Honda's European offices apparently aren't ones to leave much to the imagination. The next generation European Honda Accord (and next gen US Acura TSX) gets undressed with the same kind of modesty normally reserved for Page 3 girls. Other than a full profile shot, we get to see almost every angle of the touring (wagon) version of the new Accord. The version in the video and photos still retains the strong lines and extruding grille of the current Accord/TSX but has moved away from the Star Destroyer look by adding a few curves. galleryPost('euroacctease', 6, 'Next Generation TSX - Euro Accord'); Unfortunately, we probably won't be getting a wagon version of the Acura TSX. Just squint your eyes and imagine the teaser shots without the shapely trunk area (or check out these spy photos of the 2009 Acura TSX ). We hear it'll be coming with an optional 260 horsepower version...
