New wagons dominate 2010 NYIAS<\/strong>
\nBy Nauman Farooq<\/p>\n

Generally, station wagons have not been very successful in\u00a0North America. People on this continent have much preferred to buy an SUV or a cross-over rather than a wagon.<\/p>\n

Acura TSX Sport Wagon<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

So it has certainly come as a big surprise to see all the new wagon models recently going on sale. Honda just launched the Accord Crosstour a few months back, and Subaru came out with another new Outback wagon.<\/p>\n

More surprisingly, Cadillac recently launched the CTS Sport Wagon (now also available in \u201cV\u201d trim); Kia has just announced production of their Forte wagon, and now onto the latest addition to this list, the Acura TSX Sport Wagon.<\/span><\/p>\n

The TSX (which is the European Honda Accord) has been around for a few years already, and while in\u00a0Europe\u00a0they had always offered it as both a sedan and wagon, the addition of the wagon in our showrooms is all new for 2011.<\/p>\n

At their press conference at the 2010 New York International Auto Show, Acura said that the \u201cTSX Sport Wagon delivers flexible utility and generous interior space \u2013 perfect for those with a growing family or an active lifestyle.\u201d<\/p>\n

Oddly, in their press-release, they completely forgot to mention exactly how much room this new wagon actually has to offer. Looks like it has plenty of space though.<\/p>\n

What is mentioned is that this new sport wagon will only be offered with one engine. While the TSX sedan can be had with either an I4 or a V6 engine, the TSX Sport Wagon will only come with the 2.4-liter, double over head cam (DOHC), i-VTEC, inline four-cylinder engine. This engine produces 201 hp and 172 lb\/ft of torque. In the Sport Wagon, only the five-speed automatic gearbox is offered (sedan version can also be had with a six-speed manual), and drive only goes to the front wheels.<\/p>\n

So it won\u2019t be the wagon of choice for an enthusiast, nor will it be the choice of vehicle for someone looking to haul a big family, as the TSX Sport Wagon is only a five passenger vehicle. But thanks to its low opening tail-gate and its long, spacious trunk, it will be perfect for carrying pets.<\/p>\n

The TSX Sport Wagon will be in showrooms by the last quarter of this year with prices starting around the $35,000 mark.<\/p>\n
