After a month of hard work, I've finally completed the video introduction for the 2009 Acura TSX. This video serves as both an introduction to our Acura TSX and an introduction to me. The nature of my work (Internet Sales) means that this video might be my first contact with a new client and I want to "put a face" on my e-mail.

I hope you find this video fun and informative.  I also hope that if you appreciate the effort that went into the video, you will contact me to make an appointment for a test drive.  With a little advanced notice, I will meet with you virtually any day at a time that is convenient for you. - Mahalo!

This weekend we shot a lot of video for an upcoming video brochure for the 2009 Acura TSX. The brochure video will take a while to assemble, but I thought I throw together a few clips just for the fun of it. Most of these will probably find their way into the finished video, but enjoy this preview for now and check back for the full brochure video around the end of May.

The music is by Jonathan Coulton. If you haven't heard of him, he's an independent musician who used to be a computer programmer. His music is an eclectic blend of styles, but he writes the music, performs all the instruments and vocals in his home studio. His music is available for download from his webpage: www.jonathancoulton.com.

Motorweek just reviewed the new 2009 Acura TSX! This video has some great shots of the car in motion, and a good overview of the car's new features. They are also the first to confirm the price for the base TSX. The 2009 MSRP will be $28,860 plus destination charge.

I'm hoping we will get our cars this week and I'll be able to get my hands on it to provide my impressions of the new car, but for now, enjoy the Motorweek review.

TORRANCE, Calif., U.S.A., February 11, 2008- Designed and engineered to reaffirm its place as a desirable and affordable entry point for entry-premium buyers, the all-new second-generation 2009 TSX is larger, more agile, more performance minded and even "more Acura" than ever before. Carefully crafted to honor the original TSX's vision as a world-class sports sedan, the new TSX has significantly evolved to offer more comfort, convenience, driving performance and safety. It does so with expanded luxury and electronic features, a wider stance for more agile performance, and advanced safety systems.

In about a few months, we will receive the first of the re-engineered and restyled 2009 Acura RLs. Acura went over the car with a critical eye and refined just about every aspect of the car to enhance the performance and luxury.

Acura has made it official! The name might sound a little funny but the new i-DTEC Clean Diesel will make it's debute in the fall of 2009 in the 2010 TSX.

The new engine is a part of Honda's Global Strategy for the future of personal mobility. In the long term, Honda envisions Hydrogen as our fuel of choice. (see the FCX Clarity). In the near term, Hybrids will power the smaller cars and Diesels will power the larger vechcles. So far, here is what we know about the new engine....
