I think I would agree to this. TL is mad speedy. I liked the TSX more personally and I test drove 2 new 2008 TL/TSX's back to back.

The TL 6-speed seems kinda schizo to me. I drove one a couple years back and while it has a nice motor, trans, LSD, brakes etc, there's no escaping that it's pretty dang large and fwd. Last time I drove a TSX was longer ago still but I remember it being pretty well balanced overall if rather underpowered.

Neither of them interested me enough to warrant looking at this time around.... h:

I have 2 complaints about my TSX:

1) Handling isn't the best, but better than equal sized sedans. I'm used to the GSR in this instance I think. Gets some good roll on sharp corners.

2) It is severely lacking in the braking department. I feel a lot of times that if I had to mash the pedal, I'd be in for whatever I was trying to avoid. Maybe that's just the feeling it give me, but 60-0 braking is less than desirable. This also may be a result of driving the GSR for so long.

Overall though, I really enjoy it .

What kind of tires do you have?

Honda tends to give their cars perfectly decent brakes but not very grippy tires which makes for long braking distances.
