#11 of 4341 TSX vs A4 by gearhead10 May 07, 2003 (11:24 pm)
One could probably get a comparably equipped A4 1.8T frontrack for around $27500. Would be a very close comparison. Both very nice cars with good handling that could use more power IMO.   A TL? It's larger but slower and doesn't handle as well as a TSX with MT. Bland styling too.
#12 of 4341 $24,500 by midnightcowboy May 08, 2003 (8:07 am)
A friend who is a wheeler dealer, went to Don Carlton Acura Tulsa toward the end of the month and paid $24,500 for a TL on the lot and the Tulsa Acura dealership is not that large, but their are only two in the state of Oklahoma.   I have not checked the prices in Houston, but I would expect similar saving. Especially since the current TL will be replaced in September.
#13 of 4341 TL vs. TSX by randomguy11111 May 08, 2003 (9:23 am)
I am not arguing that TL is a better car. My point is that it is supposed to be a move up within the brand.   Personally I like a BMW 3-series over a 5-Series. But if 3-series was more expensive than a similarly powered, comparably equipped 5-series, it would seem strange.   So I question the value proposition, not which is a better car. Clearly the TSX is overpriced or the TL is underpriced. Or both... Doesn't matter, just intriguing...   Your comparison of a TSX manual and a TL automatic and prefering the styling, handling and power of the TSX points to why you would have this kind of inverse pricing.   Personally, I'd go TSX automatic myself...   Just'd feel bad the TL was cheaper....

Yeah, I guess Acura didn't have to think too hard to justify raising the price of the forthcoming generation of the TL.   I think the TSX may be considered overpriced only because dealers aren't moving off of MSRP to sell. And if one really needs the room, the current TL is a bargain (if you don't mind having an "old" car in a few months).   If TSX's start being discounted, Acura could sell way more than 15,000 of them. I seriously considered going for one, until I drove an A4 quattro. The 3-series is very nice as well with unbeatable driving dynamics but then one has to justify the extra $5-6K+ over a comparably equipped TSX.   And if one just HAD to have more power, the TSX is a Honda and we'll soon be tripping over tuner upgrades to get more power out of the K24.

I doubt dealers will be discounting the TSX much, until Honda starts bring more of them over here. Its not going to be hard for them to move 15,000, so there is going to be little incentive to discount.

In Syracuse, the Acura dealer has 3 ATs (none sold so far), and just received the first MT that wasn't spoken for already (after selling 3 MTs off pre-release deposits). Honestly, it's a bit of a dog with the AT, but the tranny is very smooth.
#17 of 4341 alas I am in NYC and street park by randomguy11111 May 12, 2003 (1:34 pm)
a manual transmission would be insanity...
#18 of 4341 manual in NYC by dudka May 13, 2003 (4:30 pm)
I used to live in NYC and drove manual for years. no biggie, of course you can not talk on the cell phone, drink coffee, and do other inappropriate things behind the wheel. But having manual in traffic is not as bad as people make it to be. I used to keep it in 1st or second and just play with the trottle, rather than switching between brake and gas. as far as street parking, after my car was broken in once, i started garaging, it is well worth the peace of mind to know your car will be there the way you left it last night.
