Look, my very first post was basically a pictorial "I don't see it." Then a few people chimed in, sharing your inaccurate observations. Then you went on listing things that you thought were "similar." Then I had to make that post to point out where your assumptions were fallacious. And now you're thinking that I'm getting all butt-hurt 'bout this?



Didn't I say that you can believe what you want and that I just wanted to throw in my two cents worth? By creating a thread on a forum, you're inviting discussion. So, what's the problem?

Personally, I don't care about Acura, so I'm not a fanboy trying to defend it or something. If you had made some lousy observations about another car from another brand, I would still call out your lousy sense of observation.

That's all.

I dont like the front fascia at all. We used to own an 06' but traded it in a while ago for a Mazda3.. Dumb move. I can tell you that at the end of this year, we will be loosing a Mazda, & it wont be the RX8 for an 08' TSX.

It still has the inline-4 engine. It loses 4hp, from 205hp to 201hp. The torque went up to 172 lb-ft.

Sounds like this isn't really an all-new TSX.

Nope. That's why most of the Honda fans at the Temple of VTEC (www.vtec.net) are pissed off.

The refreshed 2009 RL is pretty fugly as well. There isn't much hope left for Honda/Acura. They gotta do something. Offer a RWD V8 sedan/coupe. Get a better team of designers. Have an actual NSX replacement soon. Pronto! Do something...At the rate they're going, they simply can't compete with Lexus, Infiniti, BMW, Audi or Mercedes.

What a shame...The old Acura Legend was such a nice car, especially the coupe. The NSX was a real looker/performer, too.
