Why does the Acura TSX get a 205 hp version of the venerable Honda 2.4 engine? Why does the Acura sedan get a beautiful -- BEAUTIFUL -- Aisin 6-speed manual, while the CR-V struggles along with a 5-speed automatic that makes the CR-V feel even slower than the power rating would suggest? With all that cargo room, the CR-V needs both more power and the means to control it when you need to do so. This is not a towing vehicle nor a sports vehicle at all -- it's a comfortable tall wagon. I'll take the Passat wagon, thanks. I have to agree: slow, not frugal enough to justify the lack of guts. Why does the Acura TSX get a 205 hp version of the venerable Honda 2.4 engine?
