The Acura TSX top speed rating is governor limited to about 131 miles per hour. The reason for this limiting is that the standard four-cylinder 2.4-liter power plant still cranks out 201 horsepower and will do 0 to 60 in the current four-cylinder trim under 7 seconds. You can see what will happen when Acura drops the corporate 3.5-liter engine into the TSX chassis. You will still have a TSX that will do 0 to 60 in under six seconds, and have a top end of who knows what because the 3.5-liter V-6 is an engine that likes to rev into the stratosphere.

A new Toyota Camry Hybrid carries a manufacturer's suggested retail price of just under $26,000. Since there is only one version of the Hybrid, there is only one suggested retail price. However, if you were able to equip the entire line of Camry's with hybrid motors and battery packs you would find the trim levels run from the popular LE to the top-of-the-line XLE. The manufacturer's suggested retail list for each version of the Camry would run from $19,395 to $29,045.

This isn't a very large price spread and indicates that these vehicles are meeting a fierce demand. When a new version is released for 2012, you will likely see a larger price difference. However, because the launch is still so far away, it is difficult to forecast exactly what the price difference will be at that point.
