Say it ain’t so. We assumption that’s what you get for speculation. When CEO of Honda Motors, Takeo Fukui, appear at the endure NAIAS that Honda would be bringing its first-ever agent engine to the U.S. in ’09, abounding estimated it would acquisition a home beneath the awning of Acura’s afresh restyled 2009 TSX sedan. According to Next Autos yesterday, however, “various sources are advertisement that the i-DTEC TSX has been put in the acknowledgment indefinitely.”

According to them, the automated chiral adaptation of the i-DTEC TSX was clumsy to canyon emissions testing. Notably, Honda’s agent four (which has been recording arch milage in its European-only i-DTEC Civic) does not apply the urea bang acclimated by Benz, Audi, and BMW to canyon acrimonious U.S. NOX guidelines. Added agent manufacturers (like VW, with its 2.0-liter TDI active in the 2009 Volkswagen Jetta TDI) accept squeaked through emissions standards after urea injection, but allegedly the Honda didn’t absolutely canyon muster. The six-speed chiral is appear to accept anesthetized emissions testing, but Honda abstracts that chiral alone would be a boxy advertise in the automatic-happy U.S.A.

Supposedly, development of a V-6 TSX is getting sped up, but this is no alleviation for buyers ambitious bigger breadth forth with torquey performance. Suddenly, Honda is advancement displacement and ability just as the bazaar is adjusting the added way; attestant Fukui’s contempo advertisement of the development of the firm’s aboriginal anytime assembly car V-8. It will be absolutely absorbing to see how this all plays out.–Colin Mathews
