Acura's just released TSX pricing information for the '09 model, which will be on sale by the time you read this. Pricing starts at $28,960 and climbs to $32,060 when paired with the technology package. The '09 is available with either a six-speed manual or five-speed automatic, neither of which affect pricing.
