I like the TSX. I missed the old Integra 4 door. I've always been partial to sedans.

I think this car is good but the pricing is kinda off. Maybe it can attract people who are put off by the Accord Sedans styling, but want a sporier car than a Camry(I know of a few people like that)

I like the TSX. I think it is leap and bounds above the GS-R in luxury department. But I think because of the 3200lb, even with more HP, it doesn't perform as well, especially in the handling department. GS-R 4 door is only 2700lb., That's 500lb difference.

How is the pricing off? With a 360 watt 8 speaker CD system, an 8 inch navi screen, far better handling and a 6 speed, this sedan offers much more than the Accord does.

I gotta go with the TSX for being such a great value. I love the styling too :thumbup:

Don't bet the ranch. Integra was based on suspension geometry from 1994. TSX is essentially all-new, and with 200HP, 0-60 should fall in the range of 6.6 seconds. 3200 pounds is about par for this class. I guess because the BMW M3 weighs more than the Integra GS-R it won't handle as well. :rolleyes:

I like the TSX, I think it offers a lot of ammenities for the price. However, styling is kinda boring. If I have 25-30k to spend on a new car, I think I'd spend it on Audi A4 1.8T quattro. I really dig Audi's styling with the sport package. Besides, I've owned too many hondas, and it's time to move on :D

TSX with the Euro body kit, thank you. :bigok:

Looks like the Mazda 6. And why are they still making FWD sport sedans? For 29/30 k i'll take a Audi 1.8 also.

If you have read anything on it, you'll realize that it handles very very well. Everyone loves it so far. Apparently, it even inspires emotion, which was/is unheard of in the CL/TL line. This is obviously not another G20. This car is ready to whoop some ass.

Boilers: Fantastic post :thumbup:
