New Accord vs TSX
So yesterday i eliminated the Jetta V6 6spd from my list of new cars I want...now its between the Acura TSX and the Accord...seeing as this is a TSX and Accord forum, i hope to get alot of pros/cons out of it...
TSX - 6spd fully loaded
Accord EX V6 6spd everything but nav.
I know the Accord's V6 puts out 40 more HP...(i thought it would be a bigger difference)...does the TSX keep up or is it no comparison? Are there decent mods to the TSX that would make it compare better?
Sofar I like the exterior shape of the accord, color choices of the TSX, interior of the TSX, and engine of the Accord...im gonna assume its probably the same 6spd tranny....so what does everyone think?

You can get opinions from us all day long and it won't necessarily help you make a decision. Since you like things about both cars, go out and test drive both of them to see which one YOU like better.
But since you asked for opinions, I don't think you can go wrong with either car.

Accord Vs TSX ... tough call.
Accord
+ more power
+ more room
+ more parts available
+ better value
- not that unique
TSX
+ handling
+ refinement
+ better styling
- expensive for a 200Hp i4
- less power
- looks bland when compared to the new TL
it's a complete toss up, but if you can wait till the summer ... look for the new Subaru Legacy to turn some heads.

my vote is on the accord V6 coupe 6sp. it's not so much hp as it is torque v. the weight of the car. the TSX is way too heavy for the amount of torque it puts out. the V6 6sp is a 14s car while the TSX his high 15s.
