The 09 WRX's are getting bumped up to 265 hp. Pretty sweet for $25k. I'd have to get the wagon though; I think the 4-doors look weird.

I hate the look of the new TSX. That "Technology" grille isn't doing it for me. Its pretty repulsive if you ask me.

[QUOTE=Ks320,Aug 22 2008, 09:33 AM] The TSX is just a more luxurious Accord -- well, it's actually badged as Accord in some countries.

I really don't understand why they put these grills on all the new Acuras, do they really think it looks good?

I say go with a WRX if you wanna go hit up the slopes. They can be almost if not equally as fun as the S2000 to drive from what I understand.

On 2003, Honda gave each market what they wanted: A larger and softer Accord for the US; and a slightly smaller, yet more powerful and better handling Accord for the Europe. Then Honda started selling the European Accord with an updated interior as "Acura TSX" in the US.

Acura TL is based on the American Accord, and is not sold in Europe.

Acura RL is also being sold as "Honda Legend" in Europe.
I have to disagree that TSX isn't a more luxurious version of the Accord. What you said basically said the European Accord (TSX) is a nicer version of the US Accord:

"European Accord with an updated interior as "Acura TSX" in the US."

At the end, my whole point is that the TSX is just an Accord -- TL is not an Accord. The Accord and TSX both share the same platform.

Agreed. I had a 04 TSX - it is the Euro Accord.

It was a good car, the ride was nice (except on roads where studded tires are allowed), but as stated before it does not have the power or level of fun that other cars do.
