You'd be forgiven if you thought that the TSX from Acura was slowly fading into oblivion. But Acura plans to inject some spice and character into the otherwise, casual and decent-looking sedan with a Special Edition trim level announced for 2012. Sadly, Acura has not included any powertrain enhancements, this trim model strictly focuses on visual and interior improvements. Acura says that the TSX SE is designed to "evoke the fun-to-drive 4-cylinder Acuras of the past." The 2012 TSX SE now has an aggressive front spoiler, a refreshed rear bumper fascia, unique side sills and an SE badge on the trunklid. The TSX SE will have a polished finish with a dark grey background unique to the trim model. Interior-wise, the SE will feature perforated black Lux Suede inserts with red backing on the seats, note that this is the same material they use in the UK Honda Accord Type-S. Unique red stitching will also be featured throughout the interior on the seats, steering wheel and shift knob. Combined with red lighting for the gauges, overhead lighting and footwell lighting, you'd be seeing a lot of red. Aluminum pedal covers are also standard equipment to spice up the otherwise dull driver compartment. Bright silver plating for the steering wheel paddle shifters help to add some color and the black headliner gives a sporty feel to the interior.
Once again, the TSX SE will available with the 4-cylinder engine with your choice of a 5-speed automatic transmission or a 6-speed manual transmission.
