It seems that there is the group that likes pure speed, and a group that prefers handling. If you just want all out straight line speed get the accord V6, its a great ride. If you want a car that tears it up in the twisties get the TSX. Both cars look great, have great features, and have great honda reliability. Personally I'd get the TSX, I'll sacrafice a little power for better handling. I love the looks, its got enough get up and go, and the aftermarket has plenty of parts avaliable for the car so you could make it a little faster, and handle even better.
