Default New competition for A4 Avant: Acura TSX wagon

Decent looking wagon. The roofline is very much Avant-like. It may not look as nice an A4 Avant, but it comes with nicely finished exhaust tips!

That's the European Honda Accord - and no-one in Europe would ever dream to compare that to an A4 Avant. It's a VW Passat competitor at best. Once it gets the Acura treatment it will be so ugly that only it's designer will ever want to look at it again ...

Yip, its an accord for the rest of the world. We Americans are so darn special that we get our own accord designed for our big bellies and fat assess

Unless they fix that awful TSX steering, it's got no shot to unseat the Avant.

Call me crazy but I love wagons. For me this car looking better then E91 BMW (probably at list $10K cheaper also) . With new Acura TSX V6 and Accura AWD - I say this is a good competition wagon on the American market (witch, BTW hate wagons)
Don't know - but Avant is a winner in my mind. Look at this lines - classic!

I think I'd rather have a Jetta Sportwagen.
