Overview
The New 2006 CSX
Acura's all-new CSX luxury compact sedan is designed to serve as the "gateway" to the Acura lineup in Canada.Embodying the brand's core virtues – driving performance balanced with luxurious accommodation, CSX has the size, design, functional attributes, and fun-to-drive traits that young, sophisticated Canadians aspire to own. The Acura CSX is a Canadian-exclusive product. It was specified by Acura Canada for Canadian requirements, and is built in Canada.The new CSX could be considered, in some ways, a refined 4-door alternative to the successful Acura RSX sport coupe. CSX and RSX both share fundamental features such as Honda's Global Compact Platform, a spirited, 155-horsepower 2.0-litre DOHC i-VTEC engine, and instantly recognizable Acura exterior design cues. CSX is available in two trim levels. The well equipped Touring model and the upscale Premium model.
