Default What do you think of the Acura TLX

I saw some pictures and some info on it on the Acura website. Looks like it's based on a 7th Gen Accord 4 door. I think they did a much better job with the styling on this car than on the Accord! It looks pretty sweet to me, while I haven't yet warmed up to the new Accord's styling (looks frumpy to me). What do you guys think? I guess this bodes well for the styling of the new Acura TL series. I do like the Accord interior, but I like the Acura's interior better. Too bad Honda didn't come out with something like this. What I don't care for is the 4 cyl only???? To me, a 6 speed, V6 version of this car would be perfect for me. Why, oh why cann't car manufacturers come out with something I would really like for a change!!

Do you mean TSX? From what I understand the 2003/2004 Acura TSX is basically the Japenese version of the 7th gen. Accord brought over here under their Acura name, with some minor changes of course.

The Acura TLX, I haven't heard much about since like 1999...

i like it, but it needs more power. say 220 or so. for the price that's going for i would purchase a v6 6sp coupe or wait for a type R RSX. if you need 4 doors though and want a manual, that is a great choice.

for h22 accord owners, that is basically a new version of what i already have.

I think it's cool. Much better styling than the USDM 7th gen Accord Sedan.

I like it much better than the US accord, and its the same HP as the 6th gen V6 that I have to turn in soon. If I get one, I want to import some of the JDM or Euro options. Thare are some really nice JDM kits for this car, even the one honda makes are nice!
