Well MY06 TSX is not in any local dealerships 
However after doing some research an MY06 Accord V6EXL with a 6sp can be had for same $$.
Hmmmmm 244hp 6sp Accord or 205hp TSX

It's not always about horsepower (ironically said by me, the man with a modified Z06...)
The TSX does have features that the Accord doesn't offer and a lil better warranty w/Acura roadside assistance.
What I really want is an Acura RL 300hp and SH-AWD
if it was offered with a 6sp manual it would be at the top of the list even at 49k

Why don't you go trade in your S2000 for a Z4 then? We'd miss your witty remarks though.
reading is your friend.
do it today, do it often.

Compared to what ......oh wise sage from the North?read the entire post...what were we talking about?
but if you must, a generic BMW will outshine a generic GM, Ford, Chrysler, Audi, acura, lexus, toyota, honda, hyundai, kia, nissan, VW, mercedes, etc. in the ride and handling dept.
i'm sure i've forgotten a few marques...

Nimesh,
I have to agree with you that BMW has done some marvelous engineering to get their cars to have a suspension geometry that allows low ride heights, great stability and handling without compromising ride quality as much as other manufacturers.
However, to say "never" is a bit extreme and perhaps naive.

Do you have evidence (published)or just opinion? Please I wish to know more
check out every mag-comparo published in recent memory.
the ride and handling - specifically - of the BMW example will be best rec'd over others.
doesn't mean the BMW example will win that comparo overall....
