Did you know that the new TSX has similar final drive ratios?
I know you may not care but I've been car shopping with my sister and found out that the new TSX has 4.77 for the 6sp manual and 4.44 for the 5sp auto in the 201hp 2.4L 4-cyl model. Interesting coincidence? The RX-8 popped right in my mind...

At least the TSX is bearable to look at from the front, unlike the TL. I know that's not your point, but damn, next time someone rags on Mazda's new grills...

No kidding! I've owned two Legends and now a CL-S. The new Acura look is terrible, not just the front but the rear view of the TL is awful.

I think you can look to Toyota for the origins of that dumb trend. The Mazda6 is a rip off of the Camry, after all. To Honda's credit, the TL does now come with a 6MT, in AWD trim no less! And the V6 Accord Coupe can be had with a stick.
