Hey Honda,

You really F#$!@#ed this one up.

-Signed, one of the V1 TSX's biggest fans.

PS, I'm trying to talk my parents out of your TL and into an ES350 or G35. In fact, I sent them to a Caddy dealer to try a CTS. Caddy! Why are you doing this to me, Honda?

That door handle is atrocious. I actually like the rest of the car though. Some nice wheels on that bad boy and it'll definitely be a looker. I'd rather pay more and get that new C-class just because of those STUPID door handles.

After seeing what Honda did to the Pilot, I'm actually relieved that they didn't mess up the TSX design as much. It's not exciting and those FAT wheel arches aren't flattering, but overall, it's ok imo. The only part that gets me is the lack of power. Making a car larger and heavier but not bumping the power is a deal killer imo, especially for its price point.

I look at this and I basically would rather buy an Accord EX.

Just can't come to grips with the grill.

Whats with the Front end becoming so huge all of a sudden?

There was a time when Honda would tout their 'smaller & lighter' front end.

As someone did point out, the door handle designs are very wild. Nice design, but just doesn't complement the rest of the car.

I dislike it completely, and don't get me started on the powertrain...

This is my Joe consumer take on things.

Yeah the Caddy looks nice...

Again, there is no reason for this car to exist. Just pick up a better looking inside and out, Accord EX V6.

the only car worth owning now is the TL-Type-S and God hope they don't eff up the next gen due out in the Fall.

This thing look like an Accord that was hit buy an ugly stick ...again....and again and again




This is what it should have been K24 turbo with SH-AWD


That would have been the correct direction...

If you guys have not heard the news, Honda top executives was caught doing tax fraud by Toyota executives. Instead of turning them in, they had a deal under the table to which Honda is holding true. Im sure you can tell what the deal is.

BTW i was a Honda guy all my life .. and its sad but the love is dwindling down faster then Buick sales.

Buick sales are on the rise - thanks to the Enclave.
