Agreed.

The 06-08 TSX looks better than the 09+ but I still think the 09+ looks better than the USDM Accord. I like cars, not boats. Then again, my tastes could change if I end up having kids and stop needing to parallel park in tigher spaces. h:

Looks like a nice car, will probably go test drive it this weekend just for fun, because I can never afford a brand new car.

Will be getting a 2005 or so v6 Accord, or a Subaru STi in the next six months, around the same year as the Accord wanted.

there was no difference from the 08:dunno:

The ECM system is badass on the v6 we're getting close to 30mpg
Also the 6speed comes w/ a different engine, so the difference is more pronounced. Not just an extra gear over 5spd auto and sportier ratios, along w/ the other advantages of a manual, it's also got more low and midrange torque. Different tuning w/out the VCM that the V6 autos come with.

Its just a horrible unattractive car and the grill just amplifies the horrible look. The new grill on all the Acura's just ruined the whole line.
thats a high percentage, I'd say maybe 30-40% of the other crap on the roads. I'm sure I could name 10 cars that look better that would blow your 90% figure out. 3 series, 5 series, most Mercedes, most current Audi's, most lexuses including the IS which is a direct competitor and which is way better looking. Most all infinity's, the Caddy CTS, the Dodge challenger, the mustang, the Pontiac G8, and the Mini to name a few.
