its suppose 2 be bigger inside than the current bmw 3-series sedan in most dimensions...def. bigger than the integra sedan

Personally,I think the TSX is a great move by Honda, but they need to make it look more distinctive ! a pumped up civic with the TL front end and a bland rear end....ala G35 sedan theme going, c'mon Honda! do us right ! but dont get me wrong the price is on target!.......hopefully the TSX-S will be more promising with more power ...say 220-240 hp....slap 3.0 V6 in there and give it some balls...then I think it would fit the bill....to compete with the " Big Money Wasted car maker!.....peace

Any pics of the TSX with OEM body kit, rear spoiler, or foglights?

I think Acura/Honda has a hit on their hands with this car. Only problem is, its in the same price range as the upcoming RX-8! Oh decisions, decisions...

I'm sorry you didn't read any of the rest of the thread. The J30 is too big to fit in the engine bay, this car does not compete with the damn G35, and it isn't a pumped up Civic - what the hell are you talking about?

GSR, none yet. OEM body kit will probably look like the Euro-R's, and a pic of that is in the thread somewhere.

Take it easy on the noob..... remember, you were young and naive once, as well. :rofl: Seriously, this gives the Acura nameplate three cars which do not share anything with U.S. spec Hondas (RSX, TSX, RL). NSX as well. Acura is really starting offer alot more than ever. Choices are good.

About the only thing the TSX and RX-8 have in common is that they are cars with four doors and sold by Japanese companies.

If you like the TSX you should be cross-shopping the Mazda 6; if you like the RX-8 you should be cross-shopping the 350Z, EVO and WRX STi.

i don't like the excuse of "they're in the same price range"
many cars in the same price range have nothing in common

Exactly INtegGraz92. People who want a 350Z will buy a 350Z, or an RX-8, or a Toyota Sienna, etc. The TSX isn't aimed at those buyers.

I still am naive :fawk:

The RSX shares its platform with the Civic, that's why the Celica morons (ironically enough) call it a Civic. Honda/Acura has a very small lineup compared to Toyota or GM, but all of their offerings (save the RL) are top notch in their class or near the top. It's good to see we at least get a choice of USDM or JDM Accord.
