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!

"I think people (like myself) would by a TSX over an Accord, despite the power difference because driving the Accord is well..blah."
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)

John, were the windows in your TL tinted, or is that just the look from that particular angle.
Thought about tinting the G yet?
I want ceramic tint, but I'm having trouble finding someone around my parts with references.

Tinted (More than legal actually) Made a big difference in temp with my black interior. I need to to the G...I should have done it a long time ago. A client of mine did the TL for free...it held up for the two years I had it that way. I don't know much at all about tint other than it's not welcome in NJ lol
