I still think the A-Spec kits are stupid. Who's going to pay 5 grand for some wheels, a body kit, and suspension bits? Why not include some actual performance items from the factory instead of selling these lame accessories that bring the price of a TSX dangerously close to a Lexus IS300?

I agree... maybe they need to do what TRD did and start offering factory superchargers and what not.

what i think they should do (not that anyone who can make a difference will care or read this) is what bmw does.

offer it as a sports package.
add the following:
High performance shocks and springs
Lightweight 17-inch alloy wheels
High performance Yokohama P215/50R17 93V tires
Choice of deck lid or rear wing spoiler


for $2K, but direct from the factory. my 2cents.

No photos? I was just thinking today that they need an ASPEC kit. We sell a lot of TL's with it, not many RSX's.

"Acura A-SPEC package for the TSX is priced at $4,330 plus dealer installation..."
Man, at that price, forget it. The whole A-spec thing is ridiculously overpriced.

Did you know a fully loaded TL 6-speed with Navi and A-SPEC will top out at over $43,000?

For that I'd buy a different car.

:werd: That's crazy. I think the TL itself is a good deal. The A-SPEC kit however is the exact opposite.
