Just look at the RL. Phenomenal engineering and technology in on a first glance subtle look, but if you start analyzing design details it grows on you. Test drive it and if you can afford it you would buy it! Trust me. Go test drive it! LOL!

oh man i wish i could, i love the rl! SH-AWD fo sho!

lol @ replacing the tl's v6 with a 4cyl.....

but back to the tsx.... i think it will get <20 mpg city/hwy like the rdx since its practically the same drivetrain. I'm sure it will be quick, but not very affordable to buy and/or fill up.

Its great that the TSX is finally getting some real power now but man is it just me or did those spy shots make the TSX look similar to the mazda6? maybe its because of the canvas but iunno...gives me a mazda feeling

The current TSX has one of the best 6-speed transmissions and one of the most advanced engines in its class. Handling is balanced and superb as well. Interior ergonomics throughout the whole lifecycle have always been top-notch as well. Not to mention, it's got the practicality and reliability of a Honda.

I'm honestly not looking forward to the 2009 redesign, as I'm a little worried they're going to throw out all the design principles the TSX was founded upon to cater to the "faster, bigger, more buttons" mentality that seems to be driving the luxury segment. Acura front fascias are getting uglier and uglier too, if their concept cars are anything to go by.
