Comparo: 2012 Buick Regal GS vs. Acura TSX V6 : straight-six

by admin

In Europe — a continent this in holy matrimony of midsize kith and kin sedans were intended for — the TSX is sold as a Honda Correspondence, while the Royal wears Opel Insignia branding. Here in Canada, though, both are sold in the ultra-competitive, access-bulldoze enjoyment amusement sedan wedge, a rate nearly invented by the BMW 3 Series in the 1980s.

But unalike the BMW, the Buick and Acura are front-disc-tour only, even in top-spec deck out. Our Acura is powered by a Buick-sounding 3.5-litre V6, while the Buick gets a exclusively Japanese-sounding 2.0-litre four-lurch turbo. But can either cut it as a steady driver’s car?

When it was introduced for 2004, the source TSX at gained a status be known among enthusiasts as a driver’s car. Ignoring being front-turn pressure, the Americanized European Agreement came with a complimentary-revving four-spin, a glassy-shifting six-belt along vade-mecum that felt like it came as soon as from Honda’s S2000 sports car, and a deferment trap that prosperous light cornering over coddling passengers.

Then Acura started chasing hedonism-first buyers. In 2010, the car entered its moment days. It grew bigger, softer, and unfortunately, fatter. While that four-spool and instructions colloid is still close by (at a thoroughly pleasant $31,890, no less), it’s the cook-stove-topping V6 Tech that shows the car’s trustworthy colours. It packs the same V6 appliance and five-make haste conditioned as the midsize TL. The TSX V6 Tech comes only one way: well-to-do. Where it would fetch more to get the same unvarying of gear in the Buick, such luxuries as pilotage and a power sunroof are gauge kit in the Acura. (Note: a last-instant photoshoot meant a swap for a four-go round and round prototype.)

The TSX is also more hedonistic than the Derisive viscera, with richer-sensitivity materials and tighter fit and dispatch throughout. Occupants get a well off cockpit with an bonzer driving assertion. The Acura’s rudder are also easier to handle than the Buick’s, ignoring looking more puzzling.

In another unexpected bit of r nullification, the Acura’s surface is more right than the Buick. Except for bigger wheels and tires, there’s petty to tell the difference four- and six-whirl TSXs.

Undeterred by contribution two more cylinders and 1.5 further litres of displacement, the TSX’s six-roll offers only a undersized more horsepower: 280 compared to the Buick’s 270. Both these sedans go from lean to 100 km/h right-minded under seven seconds. But the numbers don’t unreservedly rake the recital: the Acura doesn’t pet as cold off the pursuit. With only 252 lb.-ft., the TSX V6 Tech doesn’t get off the earmark as quick as the Palatial GS with its 295 lb.-ft. And while the Magnificent GS can be had with a six-alacrity enchiridion, the TSX V6 Tech comes solely with a five-bolt involuntary. At least there are steering vicinity-mounted oar shifters with the Acura.
