"Acura announces new, Canadian-exclusive CSX Type-S compact luxury-performance sedan
TORONTO, Oct. 20 /CNW/ - A new performance version of the Acura CSX will
be launching across Canada on November 6 with the introduction of the
high-performance 2007 CSX Type-S compact luxury-performance sedan. The Acura
CSX Type-S will be an exclusive product for the Canadian market with a
Manufacturers Suggested Retail Price of $33,400.
"Last year Acura launched its all-new CSX compact luxury sedan as a
gateway product to Acura's family of luxury vehicles," said Jim Miller,
executive vice president, Honda Canada. "The new Type-S model will serve as a
gateway product to Acura's performance heritage for those Canadians who want
both affordable luxury and high performance," he added.
Power for the new Acura CSX Type-S is supplied by a new 2.0-litre,
197-horsepower i-VTEC engine that features "intelligent" valve-control systems
for optimum engine performance. "There was a time when the
100-horsepower-per-litre benchmark was an exclusive calling card of race car
engines," said Miller. "Now, the CSX Type-S produces this kind of power in an
engine that will be favoured for its top-end performance and range of power."
The CSX Type-S 2.0-litre engine, mated to a close-ratio 6-speed manual
transmission, also delivers good fuel economy. It is rated at 10.2 L/100km in
the city and 6.8 L/100km on the highway. It features a Tier 2 Bin 5
low-emissions rating.
The CSX Type-S also features drive-by-wire throttle control, 4-wheel disc
brakes, vehicle stability assist with traction control and a speed-sensitive
electric power steering (EPS) system for sporty driving performance.
All CSX models benefit from true four-wheel independent suspension. On
the Type-S, the sport-tuned suspension is designed for a performance-oriented
feel to meet the demands of driving enthusiasts. The Type-S suspension
includes stiffer springs, firmer damping and more tightly controlled
suspension movement with upgraded stabilizer bars at both ends - increased
from 24 to 27 millimeters up front, and from 11 to 17 millimeters in the rear.
The Type-S rides on performance-rated 215/45 R17 tires.
Distinguishing the new model is specific Type-S badging, a rear wing
spoiler with integrated LED brake light, fog lights, and upgraded 17-inch
alloy wheels.
Inside are other design cues such as leather-trimmed seating with
high-contrast stitching and embossed Type-S identification, metallic-finished
pedals, and the Type-S logo on the floor mats. By night, there's even a red
hue to the ambient lighting. These stylish expressions are a preview of the
advanced technology, high performance, improved handling and greater driving
enjoyment of the CSX Type-S.
There is more to the Type-S than just power and performance. For
instance, the Acura Satellite-Linked Navigation System with bilingual voice
recognition is standard equipment. It allows choosing the most direct route or
looking for alternatives that avoid major highways altogether. The bilingual
voice recognition system can respond to nearly 600 voice commands. Voice
commands can also be used for such functions as climate control and audio
system settings. This is not something found with other cars in this price
range.
The CSX premium audio system pumps out 350-watts through seven speakers -
including an 8-inch sub-woofer. Beyond AM, FM and CD compatibility, Acura also
enabled the system with a digital audio card reader compatible with MP3 and
WMA audio files plus an Auxiliary input jack for iPods(R) and similar music
playback devices.
The Acura CSX Type-S is designed to be a stylish expression of advanced
driver technology and heart-racing performance. It combines standard interior
amenities and quality, plus a full complement of standard safety features,
including six airbags and an Advanced Compatibility Engineering(TM) (ACE(TM))
body structure that uses a network of load bearing front-end members to
disperse collision energy throughout the entire body structure for enhanced
occupant protection.

Acura is the technology advanced performance division of Honda Canada
Inc. Six vehicles (CSX, TSX, RDX, TL, RL and MDX) are marketed under the Acura
brand, including the new, exclusive-to-Canada Acura CSX luxury compact sedan.
Both the Acura CSX luxury compact sedan and the MDX luxury sport utility
vehicle are produced at the Honda of Canada Mfg. facility in Alliston,
Ontario."

Bizarre qu'on ait rien entendu à date...

[wowlesmoteurs]

bien, le seul indice qui laissait présagé de la sortie cette type-s de la part de Honda, est les preview qu'ont a vu de la civic SI berline 4 portes Américaine, voilas quelques semaines.

[Xav]

C était aussi inscrit dans l annuel de l automobile 2007.Peut etre pour combler la disparition de la Rsx.

[wowlesmoteurs]

mais a pas loin de 35,000$ avant taxe, je trouve ca cher pas mal.
dire que certain trouve la mazdaspeed3 cher a 32,000$

[Saintor]

Par raport aux USA à 23000$US, certainement.

Moi je trouve ça correct..c'est sensiblement le même prix qu'une RSX-S...non, moi je trouve ça bien correct.

[Joe 123]

Tant qu'à moi je mettrais $2 000 de plus et j'irais vers une WRX!!!

[wowlesmoteurs]

Moi je trouve ça correct..c'est sensiblement le même prix qu'une RSX-S...non, moi je trouve ça bien correct.

cette type-s vas coûter presque le meme prix qu'une TSX, est-ce que cette "civic" vas rouler aussi bien et etre aussi confortable que la TSX ???????

[Boud]

Pourquoi pas?

Une TSX, ça reste une voiture plus petite que l'Accord et n'oublions pas que la CSX (Civic) a encore grossi. En terme de dimension, ça doit pas être trop différent.

Wowlesmoteurs...as-tu eu la chance d'essayer la CSX de ton frère? Tu ne sembles pas emballer par cette voiture...

En tout cas, en terme de look, je la trouve écoeurante.

Ça c'est sur...par contre elle va être plus sportive que la TSX.

Et oui, en frais de performance pour le prix et de bonne qualité, la WRX est mieux...la MS3 yé trop tôt...mais on pourrait dire la MS6. Si la GTI peut être fiable, ç'est bien aussi.
