A good touchless car wash may be even better than a hand wash, for a black exterior finish. The problems with an automated car wash is it doesn't clean the wheels adequately; and if you don't wash regularly, one wash won't clean completely.

Does anyone know when the new 2010 tsx will be on the lots? Also would I get a better deal on the 2009 tsx this summer?

The 2010 wouldn't be out until September. You may get a better deal on the 2009 TSX, or any car for that matter, later in the year if the economy and the car industry continue to crash and burn.

I know, that will help me out too, because I am wanting to either get the TSX or the Accord. But, I am stuck with an 08 GM car. It will be 1 year this spring on my lease, so perhaps I will see some light and be able to deal on getting out. Yes, I know the drill of leasing...lol. I always trade early, but a GM car, well that is a whole other animal. They may want my business enough to work a deal out. Worst comes to worse, I'll wait longer into the lease. I am growing to like the car, but really I am a Honda guy.

You mean you go into every lease with the prior intention of getting out early?  The only model that I can think of where that might not cost you an arm and a leg is the MINI.

I did it with my 2004 TSX. Dealer gave me $2200 cash to turn it in 1 year early (3 year lease).

Hmm...that's almost unheard of. I didn't think the TSX was ever in short supply. Maybe you had a particular color and/or configuration for which they had a waiting buyer? Anything unusual about the lease? Super-low residual? Or was it part of a deal to sell you another car, so they had some accounting leeway as to which side of the transaction to stick the $2200?

When I lease a car, I usually don't go into it knowing that I'll be getting out before the term. But, with this GM car, I didn't want it, I had to choose a GM car last spring though. So I have an 08 Pontiac G6. I have grown to like it. Though, I want my Accord back. When I can get out without minimal problems, then I will do it. If it comes down to the last year of the lease to be able to do it, then so be it. Or, I do have a few that would be interested in taking it over. Although, the more garbage I hear about GM, I want out even more, why support them, when they are not willing to change.
When the economy was in better shape, and if I had kept my mileage lower on my 06 Accord, I would have gotten some cash to roll into the new lease deal. Doing that now would not be as possible. After 1yr or so, I was able to walk away from my accord without owing anything.
It just makes me a little irritated that I am not able to get my Honda back now, because the deals are quite attractive.

Just like normal financing, it all boils down to how much the car is worth vs. how much was still owed on the lease. The TSX held it's value very well and after 2 years, it was still worth around $22,000 (MSRP was $27,000).
I did not buy another car from them either. I just drove in cold and asked them if they wanted to buy my car. I bought it from them new and it was serviced by them exclusively, so they knew the car.

That was then and this now - more specifically there's virtually no car today with which you could do that. And this is even more so for any domestic product.
But back to the TSX - in the DC area you can regularly see 08 TSXs w/10k miles from a dealer at $21K - the wholesale on those is like 16-17K. Honda/Acura will be very lucky to get the current 60% residual on today's leases.
