| Acura Tsx The CRV is 500 lbs lighter and $10K$12K less. qfrog : September 28th 2006 at 11:59 am I like the review a lot more than the topic lzaffuto : September 28th 2006 at 12:17 pm You can have the same power as a V6 with a turbo I4 with better mileage. |
| Acura Austin Many cars did this in the past. Acura Tsx. The problem is that manufacturers nowadays are trying too hard to get rid of turbo lag in an ill attempt to make someone think they arent driving a vehicle with a smaller turbocharged engine. |
| Acura Los Angeles It used to be that turbocharged engines had turbos that spooled late and made good power but you had to floor it for awhile to get it. This returns good gas mileage because youre almost never going to spool the turbo in traffic. Acura Austin. To eliminate lag you can either go with a very expensive twinturbo setup or you can program the engines powerband to make more power before the turbo spools so the difference isnt that noticeable. |
| Acura New York This of course decreases fuel economy. I suspect in this case Acura figures that if youre interested in an SUV youre not really concerned about gas mileage anyway. Acura Los Angeles. Turbocharged cars still hold a mystique about them with most of the general public. |
| Acura Chicago They have been around forever but have never been mainstream. Acura Tsx. I think even though Acura could have used a V6 with as much power and probably better gas mileage they went with the turbo I4 for the hype and rarity of it. |
| Acura Houston A NA V6 is expected in this segment and it wouldnt have gotten nearly as much press and attention as this new powerplant has. They are trying to be different. Acura Tsx. And different can be cool. |
| Acura Atlanta SherbornSean : September 28th 2006 at 12:23 pm This drivetrain and audionav system in the 08 TSX is gonna be rockin SteveS : September 28th 2006 at 12:25 pm Seating position image and capacity. Acura Tsx. My wife had an Outback and I had a Nissan Murano up until a little while ago. |
| Acura Orange County I could stuff way more in my Murano than she could in her Outback and still have an expanse of room in the rear seat while hers was just soso. Most people who purchase a CUV donat want it for offroad (the same could be said for those who have purchased a body on frame SUV). Acura Tsx. They want to sit higher up for a better view of the road they want to pack in some Best Buy sized purchases be able to drive in 6 inches of snow all while in comfort. |
| Acura Oakland Claude Dickson : September 28th 2006 at 12:53 pm SteveS You dont need a SUVCUV to do these things. There are a number of what I like to call station wagons on steriods that will do the job better than most of these cars. Eventually someone is going to introduce a hatch for grownups into the US market. Acura Tsx. I think Mazda missed the boat with using the sedan for the Mazdaspeed 6 instead of the hatch. |
| Acura Washington Dc, Acura Dallas When someone does that maybe people will come to understand how little there is to be gained by these vehicles. Acura Tsx. BimmerHead : September 28th 2006 at 1:31 pm Claude Even better than a Mazdaspeed6 in wagon form Mazda has the Mazdaspeed3 coming out (or maybe out now) in wagon5door hatch configuration (only I believe). Acura Los Angeles. Sure you give up a little size to the 6 but on the plus side you also give up some weight. Acura New York. Same 2.3 liter turbo from the MS6 in the MS3 could be interesting all the reviews I have read thusfar have been positive My hope is that Mazda will demonstrate to BMW that the time for the hot hatch is here now and BMW will bring the 1 series to the US. Acura Tsx. I can dream cant I? bodayguy : September 28th 2006 at 1:38 pm Guess Im the only one who thinks this car is hideous looking especially the nose. |
