'Ok so why would someone buy a TSX when they could get an accord for less with more power?'
I think people (like myself) would by a TSX over an Accord, despite the power difference because driving the Accord is well..blah. Top of the line Camry has more horsepower than a Lexus IS250, however for the same reason I'd take the Lexus. Good thing my girlfriend has the IS250 and not the Camry. Sounds better too! I drive an Acura TSX or I drive a Lexus IS250:) God i'm shallow and happy

Congrats on the new car. The G35 is a nice machine. I prefer the Acuras over the infinity, mostly because the interior in the Acura TSX, TL, to be more appealing than the infinity. Not sure if you've really played with the Navigation, but the infinity navi is not very friendly. The touch screen in the Acura is very easy to use, and I feel the graphics and size of the screen are also an advantage to the Acura. On the power side, the G35 really moves and handles well. The mere fact that this thread exists is a testimate to how good the TSX is overall as a car. However, for the extra 7-8k, there is a reason why the G35 offers more. I just saw the new Coupe in a Mall in Toronto, and it looks gorgeous as does the sedan. Great car choice! If infinity could revamp the interior i'd be more inclined to get one. I had one as a rental on a trip to the states - yup, it's fast! enjoy.

I've owned some nice cars over the years, and after 6 months or so, still love driving the TSX. As far as the power thing goes,second and third gear on the highway from 4000-7200 is a lot of fun. I also love the diversity of the engine. I went from a V-6 BMW to a 4 Cylinder TSX and I'm very happy with the power of the TSX. For those who keep refering to "dragging" and "off the line", it's just that you're testosterone and insecurity is so high you've forgotten why people actually buy the cars they do. I think the NEON SRT (or whatever it is) is fast! The "feel" of the TSX is fantastic and it is a very responsive car. With all the features it's a very fun car to own. As far as fast on a drag strip goes - who cares! Oh ya, kids do!

Camry and Accord yes not the best examples of sport and luxury but for the coin you can compare a V6 accord coupe 6speed to a TSX--both have honda transmissions--the avail navi --both are front wheel drive - for me its close-- TSX looks good but needs a jolt of power --accord changing this year should make it even better choice. Lexus IS250 another good looking car but if you price it with options the TSX looks like a real steal. My only wish is that Nissan and Honda one day offer a 300hp car with AWD and a 6speed for 35k.

Is blaming a cars lack of any sort of low end (In and out of slow traffic) power on a persons shortcomings anything like blaming the need for some sort of immigration reform on racism? A car in this category / price needs to be able to jump in and out of traffic should the need arise without a high-revving, clutch slipping episode. The cars bottom end sucks...period. It's not a shortcoming in anyone who drives it. 0-60 is the most common measurement of acceleration for a reason...it's the most used...period.

I guess you won't be singing the joys of the Mazda RX-8, Honda S2000, or Lotus Elise any time soon either...

Again, I own (Lease) an S2000. Different car, for a different purpose. If someone doesn't like grunt fromm their motor...fine...but it doesn't equate to a shortcoming in someone else's character. That is one of the stupidest (Car wise) things I have ever heard. 
And if liking torque equates to my manhood, I would be glad to show you the tire wear on the S2k.
P.S. I drove Rx8 before S2K, way too little on the bottom and the top...very sad journey"> from old TT Rx7 (A beast)
