I figured there would be some "wtf are you thinking..." type responses.
Glad a couple of you have driven them and agree it is fun. Again, completely different experience, but fun in its own right.
The V6 does feel completely different...too front end heavy.
As far as it not being a luxury brand...you are right...in a sense. The problem is with Honda the Accord has gotten too big and too heavy. The civic is too small and hate the styling. What is the answer? The TSX. Plus, the small extras you get (HID's, backup cam, streaming bluetooth audio, ELS surround sound, etc
Yes, the gas mileage is amazing so far...just more money in my pocket to blow on other things.

And that missile gets shredded and pieces fall on the OP's Acura like hail.
WHAT THE FU--BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BLACK HOLE!

"DON'T REALLY NOTICE THE POWER DIFFERENCE" is that a joke? Come on, for real?! If the trade was for cheaper payments I totally understand the TSX would definitely be on the list. Enjoy the new ride...hope they bring the Teg or RSX back...I'll be getting one if they do!

I love Acura center consoles, very complex. I'm definitely a minority though. Even the G's console confused people when they got in my car and I found it pretty simplistic. I'm not sure I liked the navi as much when I played it in my friends car, but I have to agree on the sound. I think Infiniti and Acura are pretty much on the same page in terms of establishing their luxury brand. I would like to see Infiniti release the essence to boost their image, I think the R8 did wonders for Audi, but it is a big gamble. The only thing that set the two apart for me was rwd in infiniti cars and that rev happy vq.Originally Posted by baksdak

No joke. Around town and in the city just normal everyday driving I dont notice the difference because I didnt drive my G like an a$$. The TSX is more than adequate.Originally Posted by baileyt35

However, on the highway I do notice a difference when going to pass...obviously.
My payments actually went up...got the TSX new, G was used. The savings will come in the form of fuel. As I mentioned earlier, I could have gotten into a new G for just a little more but it just wasnt worth it to me...wanted something different.
I think this thread has attracted more views/responses than any other I have started!! That's a pretty good way to go...hahaha. I will still lurk (as I ma doing now)
