Look for Acura to offer a Type-S model of the TSX. Power is said to come from the turbocharged engine found in the Acura RDX — tuned to 260 horsepower — and will be connect to a six-speed manual or a DSG gearbox. But unlikely the base TSX, the Type-S is expected to use Honda's Super Handling All Wheel Drive.

While i would be really interested to see this i doubt it will happen. Plus 260 crank HP behind a heavy awd drive... type-s where s = slow.

i really don't see this happening. There has been speculation for years and years and years from the honda camp. I won' believe it till i can see it on a show room floor, even then i know i will probably be disappointed at its performance.

I agree with dex.

Paul take a ride in a stock 2006 WRX. That is how fast it will potentially be with that sort of setup if not slower due to weight.
